Being the manager specially in a field where you will need to handle the opposite sex spelled T.O.U.G.H all over the wall in the gym for me. It’s never easy.
No matter how much i tried not to think or be affected by it but it does..sometimes it can effect me big time..sometimes i manage to just ignore it. The attitude that they give you Directly or indirectly ” You are a woman.. what do you know” or that” oh, because i have a lady manager, i don’t have to pay too much attention..she won’t mind” irritated the hell out of me.
I sometimes wonder, what is it that makes men be so defensive when they have a female boss? Hmm.. complex creature i must say..
Today was my first day training with the new club ( yes, celebrity just bought over california in case you don’t know) and as expected, i was not welcomed in their ” community” . The energy vibe and respond that i got from them was not as welcoming as in celebrity fitness. I am well aware that they are not happy with the new system but why do they need to throw it on me? I am just their coach and i did not make up and implement these rules on them.. but this is the company requirements. Sometimes i wonder, are they really matured as how they claim themselves to be? If they are, then they should be more accepting and willing to go through changes and challenges along the way, specially in this industry.
Being in this industry for 9 years, that’s one thing i learn about ..ACCEPT CHANGES and CHALLENGES because if i am too comfortable at one spot, i am not what i am today. No matter how much knowledge i have or how lil it is.. new changes and challenges mean only one thing.. i am learning new stuff and im improving myself. Now isn’t that a good thing already? Improving yourself and gaining more knowledge and experience along the way?
Ahhh.. i guess that’s what you called.. EGO in men. They will die without it and kill themselves with it.
My wish to them is that they will pass the exam and do well in this company. Be more accepting, open with new changes and challenges and most importantly not being narrowed minded when they have a lady as their boss.
I guess i need humidifier filters next time in my class. Maybe that will help me suck those bad energy out from them, LOL!
