Winning Together: The Power of a Support Team
Amanda Kraft
Like most of the world, I’ve been glued to the Olympics the past few weeks. It is both inspiring and humbling to see what other humans are capable of. Every athlete has a story – unique to them yet sharing the collective ambition, grit, and talent that led them each to this moment in history. Whew. It’s a lot to wrap your head around.
I think about the village it takes to nurture each athlete. Not only the coaches, but the doctors, nutritionists, trainers, therapists, and support systems of friends and family. While I’m sure it’s technically possible to take on the grueling task of preparing your body, mind, and spirit to compete against the best in the world, it has to be a relief to share that load with others – many of whom are specialists – that are also invested in your success.
You know where I’m going with this, don’t you?
Olympic athletes are an elite group most of us will never be part of. However, we can RELATE to them – and that’s what makes them so much fun to root for. Humans with baggage and struggles and hopes and desires – each story unique and yet, we can still see a bit of ourselves in them.
Humanity shines through. Even in the business world. Companies ARE their people. Each unique, yet united by shared goals. And like Olympic athletes, organizations and their employees may benefit from working with specialists dedicated to their success. Those who are experts in their field but also committed to the best outcomes – working with other specialists to get just the right combination for results.
And the tie-back you’ve been waiting for (!) – The Bridge has those specialists in the Acceleration practice. The certified project managers, agilists, business analysts, and change managers who can add depth and expertise to a wide variety of disciplines. We can partner with you to get stronger and run faster (too much?) – delivering on targeted projects that help you achieve your organizational goals.
But if you’re open to it, we can also show you a different – extremely human – approach to project delivery. One that doesn’t subscribe to a specific school of thought, rather pulling the best tools from our toolkits and adapting to what makes sense for your people.
Efficient and effective. Fast and thoughtful. Practical and human. Our team can meet you where you are and help share the load on your unique journey.
