Four pieces of content I've consumed this past week that will influence my future blog material and challenge me to think differently about how I manage Cressey Sports Performance - as always, I'm looking to bring you some business-specific information from outside of the world of fitness. Enjoy:
- Oprah's Master Class Podcast:
Jay-Z - Jay-Z said a number of things in this podcast about business ownership that resonated with me as he discussed the process of operating his own record label. I especially appreciated his commitment to pivoting and reinventing his business as the playing field is constantly changing with the introduction of new technology and shifting market trends.
- How to Beat the Mid-Career Malaise - Pursuing a career in fitness is a grind, and I'm finding it increasingly common to encounter extremely talented coaches feeling burned out and unsure of their future in the field. This Harvard Business Review article highlights some important questions
to ask yourself if you're in the midst of a little bit of a career crisis.
- This is How Managers Should Approach Raise & Review Season -
Annual reviews and raise negotiation are among the most stressful and time-consuming tasks on my annual calendar. This article was surprisingly thorough in its approach to outlining exactly how to prepare for these conversations, and how to handle the dialogue.
Make sure to let me know if you come across any material that you think I'd enjoy. More importantly, have a great weekend!
