Jensen, the sport psychologist for the Canadian Woman's Olympic

Olympic athletes and with organizations to help with team
performance. He shared his perspective on the most important key to
winning gold "Once you have a vision and a clear goal, it is
amazing what you can do and get" As I listened to the stories of
our athletes successful outcomes, I heard them consistently share
this principle in different ways. Our athletes had a clear sense of
their purpose and a goal to stand on the podium to receive their
medal. There is an old proverb which says. "Without a vision the
people perish" Do you have a vision and a particular goal for
yourself?This week's 60 Second Workout. Take time to consider what

Help Wanted - tens of thousands of professionals needed for short
term employment on major international sporting event. Guaranteed
great role and guaranteed unemployment upon completion. This
week’s Olympic series podcast, is with Donna Wilson SR V.P HR for
the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Donna’s role was to
oversee the hiring of the thousands of full time employees and
volunteers that are responsible for the 21st Winter Olympics.
Hiring is both and art and science, while balancing a short amount
of resources to get the job done. What did Donna and her team look
for when reviewing potential candidates? Well, the very first
impression was the resumes that they received. What are some of the
important elements of a good resume? Donna shared "make sure that
your personality shows up in your resume" Like Donna, I have seen
hundreds of resumes that look and sound the same. Like competing at
the Olympics, this current job market is extremely competitive, you
won't come first without standing apart from your competitors.This
week’s 60 Second Workout, send us your resume and get a
professional's perspective on how to improve your first impression.

sentence. Sit back, relax and learn 35 min.

Proud to be Canadian this Monday morning? Alex Bilodeau won
Canada's first ever gold at an Olympic games held on our land. He
has made us proud and his life will never be the same. Over 23
million watched some portion of the opening day of the 2010 winter
Olympics. 84% of all televisions were watching the opening
ceremonies. This week's podcast is with Roy MacGregor, one of
Canada's most gifted storytellers, author and Globe & Mail
columnist. Roy has invested the past 35 yrs traveling from
St.John's To Victoria discovering and sharing what makes Canada
such a wonderful and complex place to live, work and play. He
shares some of these observations in his book Canadians: A Portrait
of a Country and its People. Roy shared his thoughts on why
identity is so important "A separate national identity is key when
you live so closely to a large influential country like the United
Sates, much like a teenager expressing their uniqueness and
independence from their family. We even speak differently in our
little world." Athletes and professionals that are successful in
the Olympics and in a competitive global marketplace have a number
of things in common - they have a clear and distinctive identity,
they have something to offer that the market needs and most of all,
they believe in themselves.This weeks 60 Second Workout; Tune in

at its new home in Whistler. Steve Podborski (he even has ski

talented struggle? In last week's CareerPoll 15% responded that
coaching had the greatest impact on an Olympic athletes
performance. Which Olympic athlete doesn't have a coach? Michelle

and weakness, create a game plan to achieve the goal. Michelle
