New York Marathon 2018 Desiree Linden Says Keep Showing Up

New York Marathon 2018 Desiree Linden Says 'Keep Showing Up' Desiree Linden was just two seconds short of her dream. The elite marathoner saw the 2011 Boston Marathon as an opportunity to emerge as a star on the competitive scene. But, after 26.2 miles of running at her fastest marathon pace to date, she crossed the finish line just two seconds after that year’s champion. Seven years later, and after nine more marathons, a stress fracture, and multiple second-place finishes, Linden got her revenge. Fighting through heavy rain and winds, the two-time Olympic marathoner became the first American woman to win the coveted Boston Marathon title in more than three decades this April, spurring a nationwide victory tour and, more importantly for the 35-year-old, a fulfilled dream. Linden credits her win with a simple, albeit onerous, philosophy: Keep showing up. (It’s a phrase she uses so often, in fact, that she filed to trademark it with the U.S. Patent Trademark Office.) On Sunday, Nov. 4, Linden will show up to the New York City Marathon for the second time in her career, this time taking on the course with a marathon title in her back pocket. And she’ll toe the line with a competitive field that includes reigning New York City Marathon champion Shalane Flanagan, three-time New York City Marathon winner Mary Keitany, and 2018 London Marathon champion Vivian Cheruiyot. But worrying about the competition could hinder your growth and mentality, says Linden. “Sometimes results are out of our hands,” Linden tells MONEY. “You might feel like you’re not getting the success you want or the results you want, but it’s not really in your control. If five people show up who are just better than me, I can’t be disappointed that I didn’t win. But I still can love the work and improve myself.” Learning to Let Go Linden, who lives and trains in Michigan, had a result-oriented mentality early in her career â€" making her second-place finish in Boston and in a number of other major marathons all the more consuming. In the lead-up to the 2011 race, she imagined herself as the Boston Marathon champion â€" and crossing that finish line in second place was the first time in months when that dream no longer felt like a reality. In 2017, she led the pack of the Boston Marathon for half the race until she faded and finished in fourth place. That disappointing result was hard to get over. “I felt like maybe I missed my window of opportunity,” Linden says. “It became this haunting thing.” But still, in the back of her head, Linden felt so close to her goal. She re-focused on her work â€" and she started to enjoy running again. But even in the first few miles of the 2018 Boston Marathon, Linden felt like it just wasn’t her day. So she slowed her pace to help Flanagan, who was also vying for the title, catch back up to the lead pack after taking a quick bathroom break. Then Linden blocked the wind for Molly Huddle, another American who Linden will race again Sunday. In helping out her competitors and taking the pressure off herself, Linden began to soar â€" and crossed the finish line first with no other runner in sight. As for how she spent her $150,000 prize for winning in Boston? Linden struggled to find something fun to treat herself with. She bought “stupidly expensive shoes,” then thought, “I don’t actually see myself wearing these,” and sent them back. “If I weren’t savvy with money, I would get a stupid car,” Linden says. “That’s the worst investment ever.” Embracing New Challenges and Opportunities Now, Linden feels ready to take more risks. Over the last several months, she has changed her training to implement more strength workouts and she left her long-time running team. Instead of feeling pressure to now win New York, she feels a sense of relief. She now has the freedom to experiment with her training and racing, potentially elevating her to a higher level or falling flat on her face. The 2020 Olympic Marathon trials aren’t too far away, and if Linden qualifies, she’ll become the first American woman to represent the U.S. in the marathon at three Olympic Games. “I can keep doing the same and do really well, or I can try to change it just a little bit and maybe find another level,” Linden says. “It might go the exact opposite direction, but I have the ability now to risk that and to try to strive for that one more step up.” But she will always make sure her hobbies and side hustles aren’t ones that could result in injury. Linden, her husband, and two other athletes manage the coffee subscription brand Linden True. She has more than 30 bottles of whiskey â€" a number of which are engraved by the maker or signed by the master distiller. “Whiskey has never injured me â€" yet,” she jokes.

Power Week - the one event that tripled the productivity of our team

Power Week - the one event that tripled the productivity of our team 677So what is the Power Week?The Power Week is a new concept initiated by a Bulgarian Startup one year ago and has not been properly explained yet. Independently, the two words are pretty clear. But contrary to popular impressions, the Power Week is not a team building event, nor a week filled with hard work and no play. It is actually a perfectly balanced combination of both. The main objective of the Power Week is to move your whole team into nature. To get connected with it, energized by it.It is not enough to have a very cool office designed in a way that helps the team’s productivity. You need a change of the surroundings and the scenery, in order to be more productive. The team lives together for the whole week. To me, this brought a whole new level of integrity and motivation. It also brought new ideas to our company and product.I am convinced that it’s the best method for being a more productive team, brainstorming new ideas, setting new goals for the future and becoming a more successful business, regardless of what stage it’s at.Where/When to organize the Power Week?At Enhancv, we chose the beginning of September when the weather’s still warm and everybody was present at work. Generally, we all enjoy the warm weather and the sunshine, therefore it was an easy choice for us!When it comes to where*, *this year our company chose a housing complex in a small village, just about 15 kilometers away from one of Bulgaria’s most beautiful mountains â€" Rhodope. It was perfectly suitable for our team of 10. All we needed was a bed to sleep in, good Internet connection, a big enough room where we could fit together with all of our equipment (computers, speakers, whiteboards, etc.) and most importantly, beautiful nature as far as an eye can see.The bonus was a swimming pool, the owner’s friendly dog Arthur and a big garden with a BBQ shed. We gathered there every evening to eat together, play games and talk about life. Generally, I got to know each t eam member better and learned their story. We became better friends and I know I can trust them more now.What did we do during the Power Week?Some of the activities we planned beforehand but some of them happened spontaneously. For example a lip-sync battle, where one pretends to sing while the music’s playing loudly. It was amazing to see everyone getting into the character of a particular singer, dance like them and act like them. It was the night I laughed the most!Other night we cooked pasta together and discovered that one of our developers is an amazing chef! (He promised to cook his Carbonara in the office too!) Our conversations during the evenings included topics like ‘’Your most embarrassing moment’’, ‘’What would you do if you were named a CEO of our company’’ and others similar to these.During the day we played pool volleyball to freshen up. We also drove ATV’s to get the adrenalin going. We climbed the ancient Thracian city of Perperikon, learned abo ut its impressive history and enjoyed stunning views of Rhodope. Every morning we practiced Yoga, I never thought it could be so energizing!The one thing, however, that I’ve experienced for the very first time was meetings by the pool and in the garden. Everyone could have a drink and feel free to speak whatever came to their mind. (Topic related, of course.) During those meetings, we came up with many new ideas, improvements and possible future projects. It was amazing to hear everyone’s point of view and endless creativity in some. We also included one-on-one meetings where we talked about current problems, recent wins and future goals we want to achieve as individuals in the company.Related articles:How to identify and embed your company culture to grow your businessWhen work is a pleasure, life is a joy!How we screwed up an awesome feature (and learned our lesson)We also worked on our usual tasks but it didn’t really feel like work. There are no set working hours. If you f eel overwhelmed, you can always jump in the pool or go for a walk to clear your head. When you come back to your tasks, you are ready to rock again!What are the benefits and why is it important to your business?For us as well as all the companies that have tried it, there is no doubt the Power Week is an essential and necessary event every company should organize at least once a year. Because it was such a game changer to our business, Enhancers actually organize it twice a year. Once in the summer and once in the winter.This one, however, was my first and I must say that it not only helped deepen our company culture and values. It also got the critical creative ideas flowing thanks to the change of setting and break out of the routine. The environment simply helped bring the best in every team member. It created a space where all departments can be under one roof together and inspire each other with new ideas for the core business itself, the product, design and marketing efforts.M ost importantly, it helped erase any possible groupthink that has formed over time and thus brought missed opportunities to light. Believe it or not, we’ve accomplished much more during the Power Week than in any other regular week! It is exactly because of the perfect balance between fun and work. That is something you can’t achieve in a traditional working environment.As I attended a Power Week already, I know that it has the potential to greatly increase the quality of the relationships inside your company and not only that. In order to list them all, I would probably need a second lengthy blog post. The most important ones, though are: employees get to know each other better and become closer to each other. This will make them collaborate more efficiently and reduce friction in the workplace.You will, in general, get more work done. Many of your colleagues or employees will step out of their comfort zone to overcome things that were holding them back before.Each person in th e team will discover a new side to each other as well as themselves, they didn’t realize was there before. Finally, you will create so many new memories which you can always come back to and cherish as a team.Generally, the Power Week promotes a flatter and leaner structure with less hierarchy. This, in turn, results in equity and a sense of achievement amongst your team. As I said, the positives are countless. I still smile when I think of our Power Week and I surely will always remember it.If you consider yourself an organization that is looking for an alternative to traditional ways of working and regular team building events, the Power Week is definitely what you have to try!Have you been to a similar event before?
