Good morning, YOWzers!
Hopefully you are taking some time to re-hydrate and re-fuel after the gruelling Olympic competitions this morning. Seriously, most athletes who attend the Olympics compete in one sport. You competed in figure skating, skiing, and 3 different sliding events – even a gold medal hockey game – all on a Wednesday morning. Pretty impressive. (And no, that picture isn’t from this morning, we’re just reeeeally excited to see you all in person again soon!).
Now that you’ve exercised your bodies, we have a small amount of brain work for you to do. As you likely know, the newest, tiniest NP Ottawa member (with the least developed motor skills) is currently preparing to join this community, which means that Becca will be taking a temporary step back from the co-leader role. Becca does not want to leave this role permanently, but knows that tiny humans can take up a lot of time and energy and wants to make sure that this community and her wonderful co-leader are well supported after the tiny human arrives. Becca is not sure why she is writing in the third person, but she seems to have committed at this point.
Given the impending arrival of said tiny human, we are wondering if YOU would be interested in stepping into the role of NP Ottawa co-leader?
There are very few “prerequisites” for this role. There are no minimum height requirements (clearly, or else Becca would not be writing this) or limits on the number of onesies you can own (clearly, or else Rebecca would not be proof-reading this). What we ARE looking for is a kind and reliable person who thinks that showing up to free, outdoor, early morning workouts is pretty neat, and who likes the idea of helping others show up to said free, outdoor, early morning workouts.
If this sounds like something that might interest you, please check out the questions below and send your answers to us via FB or IG by end of day February 23rd (or printed and in person on Feb 23rd!).
*Currently, the time frame is not set in stone but we would most likely be looking for someone to start in mid-late March and continue in the role for at least 6 months*
- Do you want to temporarily (i.e., for 6-12 months) be a co-leader of NP Ottawa?
(a) Heck, yes!
(b) Heck, maybe! I’m potentially interested, just not 100% sure.
(c) I can’t commit to a mat leave contract but I’m interested in guest leading a workout.
(d) Nope. Just came here hoping for pictures of dogs.
- For those who answered (a) or (b), please let us know your reason(s) for wanting to be a co-leader! For those who answered (c) – please reach out to us on FB or IG for more details 🙂
(for those who answered (d): https://www.pexels.com/search/dogs/)
- What would you be most excited about as a temporary co-leader?
- What reservations or concerns would you have about being a temporary co-leader?
- Please provide your name & contact info so that we can chat with you some more!
- Anything else you’d like to add?
We hope you have a great day. We’re glad you’re here. And we can’t wait to see you in person in 2 short weeks to deliver all of your well deserved gold medals* from today!
*medals are neither gold nor actual medals
Sole-fully,
Rebecca & Becca
