Happy Fall Everyone!
Welcome to our special anniversary edition of The Huddle! Last month officially marked our seventh year in business, and we’re excited to share some BIG news and a BIG announcement! Since our founding in 2014, our team of mental health and wellness experts have delivered award-winning business solutions to some of the world’s most recognized organizations, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the NBA’s global offices and teams across the league, the NFL, the NCAA Headquarters and several athletic conferences, the United States Air Force, and top ranked colleges and universities. We couldn’t be more proud of the work we’ve done and the things we’ve accomplished, but our biggest win to date is finding success while building our business on the concept of caring.
As we continue to navigate the uncertainties of our second pandemic Fall and grapple with the struggles of lockdown fatigue, postponed re-openings, and the incalculable impact of collective grief and loss, it is a critical time to focus on our mental health and wellness. We recognize that our work matters now more than ever before, and in the spirit of our mission, we want to help the helpers!
After years of working with high-performing, championship-caliber athletes and world-class organizations, we recognized that the concept of sport connects to peak performance across multiple high-intensity industries and leadership teams, and provides us with powerful insights about teamwork, resilience, and overcoming adversity. We are so grateful for what we learned from top performers from across the globe, and now we want to bring the same effective strategies and winning game plans to your team!
*Cue BIG Announcement*
In honor of our anniversary, we’re thrilled to announce our trademarked signature program and turnkey business solution—The Playbook: Wellness & Peak Performance Program.
The Playbook is intentionally designed to help organizations develop and support high performing teams by helping team members co-create an environment of belongingness and wellness. The program equips teams with practical tools and psychological strategies that allow them to leverage their strengths and manage stress. Within this program, we help organizations and top talent learn how to be effective, maximize performance—and win.
In addition to our special anniversary and big announcement, this month has also given us so many other reasons to celebrate. For starters, September 15th annually marks the beginning of Latinx and Hispanic Heritage month in the United States. Throughout the month of October, we recognize and celebrate the influence, contributions, and culture of Latinx and Hispanic Americans.
And lastly, our favorite Fall sporting tradition, the tailgate, is back! Whether you’re out enjoying the highly anticipated return of college football, the NFL’s historic 17-game season, or the 2021 WNBA Playoffs, we can’t wait to see you cheering on your favorite team!
In the spirit of our signature wellness and peak performance program, this edition of The Huddle will:
explore strategies that make good leaders great during tough times
highlight tips to strengthen your resilience muscle, and
share vital lessons we’ve learned as entrepreneurs in the form of a Start-Up Mentality Toolkit —just in case you’re thinking of taking the plunge yourself!
We deeply appreciate your support over the past seven years, and we can’t wait to make this year the best one yet! Cheers!
