Connect Takes Lessons From Rio 2016

IRVING, TX , September 30, 2016 (Newswire.com) - “Our entire team was excited for the Summer Olympics in Rio,” declared Rachel O’Hara, the CEO of Connect. “We always look forward to the Olympics, but there was an extra level of intrigue this year, and we were ready to see how things played out.” The CEO explained that the games were especially inspiring this time around, and that there were many lessons on offer for business leaders of all types.

O’Hara suggested finding local connections when the Olympics come around, especially if there are athletes with ties to the community. “When you have someone from your city or region actually participating in the games, you have to take advantage of that,” she noted. “Whether you include a message of support on your website or include the athlete’s name and likeness in an email marketing campaign, you can rest assured that your customers will be interested.”

"We train Connect DFW associates to measure themselves not against their peers, but by their own past accomplishments. Just as top-flight athletes are always trying to beat their previous bests, you must compare yourself only to what you have achieved in the past."

The CEO also suggested adding patriotic flair during the Olympics. She remarked, “We display the American flag with tons of pride here at Connect, and it becomes a little more special when our athletes are competing on the other side of the world.” This strategy elicits an emotional response from existing customers and potential ones as well.

“One thing you will always see during the Olympics is how important a great coach really is,” O’Hara explained. “We use one-to-one education to great effect when training our Connect associates, and we know how important it is to have mentors pushing younger team members to great heights.” Great Olympians also tend to become inspiring coaches when their playing days are over, and Connect trainers reflect this in the business world.

O’Hara and the rest of the Connect leadership group know that measuring oneself against others is a losing proposition. Olympic athletes are almost always up against the clock or a judge’s marks, and the CEO believes this is a great example for ambitious professionals to follow. She commented, “We train Connect associates to measure themselves not against their peers, but by their own past accomplishments. Just as top-flight athletes are always trying to beat their previous bests, you must compare yourself only to what you have achieved in the past.”
