Once a year, Chris and I attempt to find a fitness, yoga and/or business conference that helps make Body Language even better. We learn about industry trends, get educated on the latest technology, and find out about best practices on how to keep YOU, our clients, healthy and happy. It’s always a great opportunity to stay current, fresh and motivated to do what we love doing. This year we are at the IDEA conference in Denver and after just a day so far, our heads are already spinning. We take what we learn and try and condense it to a few things that we can implement over the next year by presenting the new concepts or ideas to our managerial staff and teachers.
But here are just a few of the headlines thus far:
· Sitting is the New Smoking…in terms of it’s affect on Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality
· Food over Supplements…Eat real food for nutrients, Use supplements to fill in the gaps
· Differentiators…what sets us apart and how can we do more of it.
· Fact check…so much conflicting and misinformation on Social Media, check your sources
· Rise of wearable technology and their limitations
· Importance of Creating a supportive environment in which staff can thrive…work/life balance
· Leadership skills and the importance of leaders being vulnerable, real and authentic
· Creating content in our marketing that educates, informs and inspires
· Drilling Deeper, Not Wider…understanding who YOU are, clientele are, and then giving you more of what YOU want
Ok so you get the idea…lots of good stuff which we can apply to so many areas of running this big ship we call Body Language. Chris and I are continually committed to learning new things and to constant growth and improvement.
Heard it described this way today…
1) MORE: What are we doing well? Let’s do MORE of it!
2) BETTER: What areas that are working could we do even BETTER?
3) DIFFERENT: What can we do DIFFERENT to make the client experience the best it can be?
Stay tuned for more to come and thank you for being on this journey with us!!
Andrea & Chris
