I’ve always known – and still know – I’m a bit of a basket case “to manage”. In fact, i feel for my previous managers – I’m sure I haven’t made it easy. But they each have taught me something wonderful and I’m truly grateful that they put up with me when they did.

When I wake up in the morning, I brush my teeth and grab my crackberry. Not because I’m addicted, not at all in fact. But because part of the recruiting team is already awake in Europe and I’m guaranteed to receive crazy emails of the work she has been doing all night long! It kick starts the day perfectly!

And when I enter the office, I’m greeted with ambitious grins – the rest of the team are each up to so much more than their inbox holds, be it in or out of the office, and it radiates out of the smiles behind their eyes….pure potential.

You see, I’m blessed to lead a team of remarkable chics – who each remind me of myself in certain ways and daily hold up a mirror of the same questions, doubts and ambition that I possess. Who I am to respond? They know the answers, they know the truths, they know that anything is possible.

We wear different clothes; we’ve all come from different places; we have different goals; but one thing we do all have in common: a completed Bucket List! And that feels right. While I may not be the leader, the manager or the mentor they are looking for, my hope is that if this is all they take away from our time together, it creates 100 new amazing memories in their lifetime! Truly, my only ask of this remarkable team is that they come alive, and expect the same from me.

This team makes Monday mornings exciting and Friday afternoon laughs hilarious; they are uniquely amazing human beings; they are authentic lululemon recruiters and I could not ask for more!

Thanks for being so Awesome, Team!
