We hear you.</p><p>At BlueFit, we’re huge believers in growing our own talent. That’s exactly why we created two brand new programs this year. <strong>ELEVATE </strong>is our frontline leadership development program especially for our Facility and Department Managers, as well as those aspiring to be in those roles one day. The <strong>BlueFit Management Coaching Program</strong> helps to bridge the gap between where regional and national managers are right now and where they want their career to go.</p></div> <div class="block-wrapper" data-block-id="d9930bee-4f67-48ba-98f0-c3a49ef2ea2a"><figure><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6993ed1c84f01f1608f12373/6a912eefb6bec4eb412d038f_image.png" alt="" /></figure></div> <div class="block-wrapper" data-block-id="35943e37-4558-4724-bd1c-fc1f01206afb"><p><strong>ELEVATE</strong></p><p>Earlier this year, 54 facility leaders were nominated to join Cohort 1 of the ELEVATE program. The program is framed across three key modules:</p><p><strong>Module 1 | ELEVATE: Self </strong>- A full day classroom program to build the foundations of personal leadership self-awareness, authenticity, decision-making, and role-modelling values.</p><p><strong>Module 2 | ELEVATE: Others</strong> - Five online masterclasses, delivered by BlueFit leaders, that teach you how to build high-performing teams by strengthening relationships, coaching potential, and inspiring continuous improvement.</p><p><strong>Module 3 | ELEVATE: Beyond</strong> - A final classroom experience to support you in influencing beyond your team to strengthen culture, develop future leaders, and drive BlueFit’s operating success.</p><p><strong>Mentoring Program</strong> - you’ll be paired with a BlueFit leader for a mentoring program to support your goals and learn insights from someone that you hopefully don’t normally get to work with. </p><p>Selection for this program is by nomination from your leaders. Want to hear a little bit more about the experience? Hear from Jade Armstrong (participant) and Anna Pirie (Elevate Mentor) in this video below. </p></div> <div class="block-wrapper" data-block-id="aa2a3196-7f24-4766-9baf-d319aee4bb40"><div class="video-embed" style="padding-top:56.25%"><iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1222008753?h=ecaa015d81" allowfullscreen></iframe></div></div> <div class="block-wrapper" data-block-id="6ba6603e-7957-450f-a58f-c72e0e5f2037"><p><strong>BlueFit Management Coaching Program</strong></p><p>A further 16 ambitious team members were selected from a pool of eager applicants to dive into the hands-on Coaching Program experience. The concept is simple but incredibly powerful: we pair you up with a leadership mentor who works closely with your department. Why? Because we want the advice to be real, relevant, and something you can actually use in your day-to-day work.</p><p><strong>How It Works (No fluff, just real growth)</strong> The program is built around eight sessions designed to challenge and inspire you:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Six 1-on-1 Mentorship Sessions:</strong> This is <em>your</em> time. You’ll sit down privately with your mentor to map out your career path, tackle real-time challenges, and get direct, honest feedback from someone who has been in your shoes. It’s a safe space to ask the tough questions and figure out exactly what you need to level up.</p></li><li><p><strong>Two Group Sessions:</strong> Because leadership is a team sport! All 16 participants get together to swap stories, brainstorm, and build a tight-knit network across different departments.</p></li></ul><p><strong>What It’s Actually Like: A Chat with Josh &amp; Noah</strong> </p><p>To give you a real sneak peek into the program, we’ve put together some video footage of Josh Mahoney (Chief Operations Officer and Mentor) and Noah Diana (Digital Marketing &amp; Performance Manager, and Josh’s Mentee). Check out the video below to watch them chat about their firsthand experience and share the awesome progress they've been making together in the program!</p></div> <div class="block-wrapper" data-block-id="2a20d715-dca4-401e-b5ee-0daf432af60b"><div class="video-embed" style="padding-top:56.25%"><iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1223553533?h=de0c36ba93" allowfullscreen></iframe></div></div> <div class="block-wrapper" data-block-id="8f48ee3b-c44a-455c-a1d3-8e9e6c0b72a9"><p><strong>Is It Your Turn?</strong> </p><p>The BlueFit Management Training Program is our way of making a promise to you: if you put in the hard work and show potential, we will invest in your future.
