Aligning Success With Your Passions - Jennifer Desrosiers - Chief Endurance Officer

Like enduring a marathon, building a team and cultivating a positive culture are long-term commitments. Leaders must adopt an endurance mindset, viewing challenges as parts of a continuous journey rather than short-term hurdles.

Jennifer illustrates her transition from a corporate role to entrepreneurship as a quest for alignment with her passions: adventure, wellness, and community building. This stresses the importance of aligning professional endeavors with personal values and passions to drive motivation and satisfaction.

A critical strategy shared is the power of visualization. Jennifer not only visualizes success in business but also applies this technique to her personal adventures, such as mountain biking and restaurant management.

Jennifer’s approach to building meaningful connections with guests, by valuing their presence and ensuring they feel seen and appreciated, offers a significant lesson in customer service and relationship-building for any business.

Through her businesses, Jennifer promotes an adventurous mindset, equating the uncertainty and flexibility required in adventure with that needed in business. This mindset encourages open-mindedness, adaptability, and embracing uncertainty.

Highlighting the importance of team culture, Jennifer shares her selective hiring process, focused on alignment with core values over specific skills. This underlines the importance of building a team whose members share the company’s mission and values, fostering a strong, cohesive work environment.
