Think Like an Athlete

Looking to jump start your career; embrace your athleticism.

Bobbie LaPorte is the founder of RAL & Associates. A company she started in 2002 that provides career management and leadership training to executives in the San Francisco bay area. LaPorte is also an endurance athlete. And at the age of sixty she is training for her fifth ironman competition. LaPorte started her company while training for her first triathlon. It was then that she discovered the mind of an athlete can benefit a person dealing with transition in the business world.

“They visualize the end and then they step back from that and they structure their performance, their planning to be able to accomplish that and i don’t think in today’s business world that we do enough of that.”

LaPorte says there are a lot of different traits and attributes that come from a commitment to fitness. And you don’t have to be a serious athlete to appreciate them. Even if you just walk around the block once a week you can benefit from this mindset. The job force is a competitive place; might as well think like a true competitor.
