How do you stay inspired/choose the flow of your store?

I absolutely love my team and this is usually the highlight of my working day. I always schedule myself at least a few hours every day, working on the floor at the store and checking in with my people. This really allows them to show up powerfully, increases my team’s engagement and just overall allows them to be happy with their work/life balance. I don’t take scheduling lightly, I try to make sure my employees work a schedule that supports their life outside of work. After meetings, I spend quite a bit of time writing my team’s schedule. Being in a remote market makes conference calls interesting, we utilize Zoom meetings at lululemon which has really helped me get to know my leaders, and peers in a more personal way than just over the phone. I was never a number’s person before this job but now I rely heavily on using my tools to assess how my biz is doing! I often have a conference call or meeting in my morning. I almost always start my day looking over our numbers, reading my leadership team’s notes and just getting an overall picture of where we’re at for the week, month, and quarter. Most days, I’m usually one of the first people at the store. Fav instructors: David Westlake, Courtney, Jen Evanson and Penny!ĭescribe a typical day in the work life of Annie: I LOVE the vibe there, and how every instructor really brings the entire class together. I definitely love to mix it up, I’ll go on a yoga kick for a few months, I love Vanessa’s class at Orange Theory! Since living in Alaska the past 8 years, trail running has become a huge part of my summers. I grew up watching my mom prioritize her health through fitness, so that’s always been a priority for me as well.

My dad played professional football and my mom is a lifelong runner. My family is very athletic, so the majority of my childhood fitness was sports. Has fitness always been apart of your life? I was promoted to Assistant Store Manager in March 2016 and then Store Manager in this past January. I started as a part-time Educator and moved into a Key Leader position when we opened the first lululemon store in Alaska in 2015. We grabbed a coffee, caught up and discussed what I had been up to (business classes at UAA to complement my bachelor's degree and leadership concentration) Julia wasted no time and coffee quickly turned into a job interview to work in the showroom! It was amazing timing, I had been waitressing for a few years and needed something that was aligned with my personal values and somewhere I could grow into a leadership position. We had been friends for a few years and ran into each other after a yoga class. I was hired to work in the lululemon showroom by local superstar and badass mom, Julia Von Imhof. What drew you to become apart of the Lululemon community and when did you get started?:
