Coaches often feel isolated, so Generation Thrive created the Inner Circle, a community where they share challenges and solutions. The conversation introduces civility intelligence, a framework for measuring and managing emotions that block growth. Real change happens when coaches step outside comfort zones and work with peers.
It really does feel like a vacuum when you're out there coaching your team. You can feel very isolated, and it's, it's up to you to lead that team.
Growth is when you step outside of your comfort zone or what's normal for you. And so for Generation Thrive to create the Inner Circle and create a space where they can have community and learn new things with new people, I think is very unique, and I think it's pretty awesome.
When you can collaborate with other people who are going through the same kinds of things and seeing the same kinds of challenges that you have and maybe have solutions that you hadn't thought of, this kind of collaboration is really organic.
It's very helpful. My role here today is to introduce them to what we call civility intelligence, and we know that in the growth, whether it's personally or professionally, it's one thing that kind of stands in the gap, and sometimes it's just our behavior and our inability to really manage our emotions. Help them name it so they can navigate it, and we have a theory we live by is that you will never be able to manage what you're not willing to measure.
I love the fact that Generation Thrive does this. It's not just about growing the team as the Warriors, the team as the Valkyries. This is about growing our sports acumen across the region, and the fact that Generation Thrive takes it upon themselves to do this for coaches at the high school level, the elementary level, whatever it is.
I was literally kicked off a Southwest flight before for being disrespectful.
