Alex Toussaint's new book 'Activate Your Greatness' has valuable insights for how we show up at work.
here’s a feature on the Peloton bike where riders can choose more music or more instructor. Alex Toussaint is worth turning up.Beyond being highly quotable, Toussaint’s own hardscrabble background features prominently in his oration. A typical 30-minute ride rewinds the tape on his life from his supportive mom to stern dad, life in military school to mopping floors.
“My life is always on,” he says. “How I am off the bike is how I am on the bike, how I am on the bike is how I am at my house. Whether I’m on camera doing a Zoom call or whether I’m in the studio teaching a class when there’s nobody in there or there’s 40 people in there, I don’t know any other way but to show up all the way. That’s just been my mindset.”Indeed, his infectious energy can make it feel like the exercise is besides the point.
Despite the pain he characterizes in his childhood and coming of age, he’s unflinchingly positive on the opportunities of the present day, which is the attitude greeting Peloton users every day. Underneath is an awareness that the road is a very bumpy one.Leadership needs to start with managing one person: yourself. So often our workplace improvement manuals focus on others around us, but here, Toussaint’s focus is more singular.
