One thing you can take to the bank is that every two years Team Canada will unveil its new Olympic uniforms. Equally bankable is that, moments later, people will start sharing their feelings about that. You know, in a way, I kind of feel bad for designers. If they design something safe that nobody notices, then nobody notices (which I'm sure is every designer's nightmare). However, if they try to break the mold and put their own fingerprint on it, at least half of everyone will ridicule them. It's sort of like when a singer re-imagines the national anthem and sings their own remix of it before a sporting event. You're setting yourself up for it. That's the price of risk-taking. With the unis, it's a little like the Rorschach Test, really. Everybody sees what they want to see, and there's really no right or wrong. Personally, it kind of looks to me like our proud olympian got up in the morning, put on all white clothes, and then spent the remainder of the day providing first aid to severely wounded people. But again, everyone sees something different. If you ask me, Team Canada should mimic the New York Yankees, who have notably worn the same home uniforms since 1936. It's classic, it's timeless, it's strong, and it builds a great long-term brand. Why do we need to reinvent ourselves every 2 years anyway? What are we, Madonna? Do we have an identity crisis or something. Find a classic look and stick with it. Your thoughts? #Olympics #Paris2024 #Canada #TeamCanada

👉Since it is Paris........ As the world celebrates the Paris Olympic 2024, a troubling reality looms over the grandeur: the poor conditions faced by the athletes. From inadequate housing to subpar training facilities to the absence of AC in scorching heat. 🌍 Imagine, for a moment, if these conditions were unfolding in India. The global outcry would be deafening. The media would be relentless, and social platforms would be ablaze with indignation. Yet, here we are, watching as these issues in Paris fly under the radar. ❌ Uncomfortable Beds: Hard cardboard beds causing sleepless nights, as noted by athletes like Simone Biles and Celia Dupre. ❌ Lack of Privacy: Makeshift solutions needed due to the lack of curtains, as Chari Hawkins pointed out. ❌ Subpar Food: Poor food quality leading to inadequate nutrition, with Zahria Allers-Liburd even joking about missing a Chipotle bowl. ❌ Inadequate Facilities: Overcrowded bathrooms, with "10 girls" sharing "two bathrooms," highlighted by Coco Gauff. ❌ Poor Water Quality: Canceled triathlon training sessions due to unsafe conditions in the Seine River. ❌ No Air Conditioning: Absence of AC in the rooms, leaving athletes to endure the scorching heat. 👉Since it is Paris......we are renaming all these issues as part of a broader effort to show Paris Olympics the most sustainable in history! https://lnkd.in/gHcJivMm 🔗 #Paris2024 #Olympics #AthleteWelfare

Okay, so I know the Olympics are long over, and while I didn’t follow the sports as closely as I’d like to admit (eeek!), I did follow the content—and let me tell you, I thoroughly enjoy it! I mostly followed the sportswomen’s IG accounts (of course!), and although there were loads of good ones, I must say I had a favorite. During the Olympics, I became a fan of Ilona Maher, an American rugby player with so much to say! I’m all about the funny stuff, and there was plenty of it in Ilona's content - but what really struck me were the golden nuggets of feminism that she so effortlessly delivered. I absolutely loved how she sassily called out harmful stereotypes of what a woman "should" look like and promoted feminism and body positivity in such a fun and smart way. Ilona’s messages of body positivity really resonate with me. I come from a very patriarchal society, influenced by a narco lens that has pushed some pretty harmful beliefs about how women should look and what their roles should be. As a result, I’ve always been hyper-aware of my appearance and have struggled with mental health issues when I felt I didn’t meet those expectations of what a "Latin woman" should look like. But this is something I’m still not quite ready to fully dive into. For now, I’m just glad to see more positive messages out there about what a healthy body can look like and to see diversity being embraced! On a positive note, I want to share below one of my fav Ilona’s posts that talked about body shapes and diversity 👇🏼 What were some of your favourite Olympians this past Olympics? Let me know in the comments! #IlonaMaher #Paris2024 #BodyPositivism #Feminism #Empowerment

As I am frequently reminded, whether it has been helping a coaching client see something differently, or challenging a team to question the way they see the world, of the importance of questioning (and even changing) the glasses that we use to view our world. I just love when I can encourage someone to change the glasses through which they see the world, and they suddenly see the almost infinite possibilities that exist to solve our mutual problems. How about you? When have you last questioned the glasses you are using to see your world? Whether it is mountain biking, working, or navigating our personal relationships, we can make small improvements by skill enhancement, but our profound large improvements from changing our glasses. https://lnkd.in/gDh8zvDw
