One thing we always focus on at Core Principles is a sense of a COMMUNITY.
We pride ourselves on making our studio feel homey and having our members and coaches support each other in a common goal – to get fit and improve our health!
Why do we feel this is important to our clients and us? Because we KNOW that two heads are better than one, and teamwork increases personal accountability, encourages creativity and collaboration and makes us all feel supported when trying to meet our objectives.
By having conversations with our clients in the last few weeks, observing member interactions and supporting others through coaching I realized that having a TEAM behind you is really imperative to being successful at achieving better health.
Last week, in a semi-private slot I was talking to a client who was telling me that she and her husband started the CP nutrition program together. In order to be more mindful with food and slow down their eating, they decided to use a method in which they use their left hand while consuming their meals, even though they’re both right-handed. Despite feeling clumsy while holding their forks, the technique really worked for the couple, and they were able to slow down consumption time, and enjoy a few laughs while having dinner! The key is that they were able to work on it together, which made the task a little easier and more fun.
When I think of teamwork and success I always think back to the days Michael Jordan played on the Bulls. Even though he was a spectacular basketball player, MJ wouldn’t have been able to score close to 70 pts a game without his entourage consisting of Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman and the rest of the gang. The reason Michael was so successful is because his teammates HELPED him make that possible, leading the Bulls to win 6 NBA championships together.
