She took us through her three M's matter mind and meaning to help our audience stay grounded and present throughout the event. Allie graciously sat down with me to discuss her journey, to becoming a leader at Peloton and the vision she has for herself and her company loves squad.
How To Explain Women Empowerment Logo To Your Boss
That's such a freedom in a way to give yourself permission, to do a lot of things and not find the one right thing. So what would you tell, especially younger women who are thinking about starting out and a lot of people think I must find that one perfect job, or I'm going to have to aspire only to one thing. What would you say to them just given what you've built for yourself and what you see as possible?
Absolutely. So love squad was created out of a sheer lack of resources and frustration as a young woman in New York city. I don't know if any of you have had this situation that are listening, but I came to New York wanting to follow my big dreams and whether it was New York or another place, or even in your own hometown, your dreams can be daunting. It can be overwhelming. You don't know where to start. And so in my case, I came to New York and I wasn't in any rooms where I was around women that looked like me or women that had variety of experience and thought that could influence me in terms of networking in terms of building my career in terms of providing insights of what the next steps talk about, taking that one step, what that one step might be or look like. And so I was completely lost for a while and it was, again, coming to that point, I was frustrated and it didn't have the resources to reconcile this.
Feedback. I love it. I just love how you express that too, because it's doable. It's very, I don't want to say simple because it's hard to think of those things, but you don't need technology to do it. You can do it any time. You're comfortable. You can build on these things over time, depending on how far you push yourself in, in your thinking. So I love that. And it's funny that you're describing things, you know, I would say for you, you're so authentic. You know, what you stress, I think to people really, really comes across and having had my ass kicked in your boss up classes. I know that you can have a great time on the bike, but be really tough too. And the funny thing is, when you say you're going to hate me for this, but you got to do it. And I'm like, yes, yes, I have to do it. Um, so it's a really hard balance to have fun and yet really push people and do it in a way that at least for me, I feel like you're pushing yourself too. So I really thank you for that. You know, you go out and you do love squad events. What are the things you hear from folks? Or is there a story that someone shared with you that made you think, Oh my God, this is why I do this. That was great.
I said, the negotiation doesn't start until no. So what's the worst thing. And I'll give this tip for free. My love squat out there. What's the worst answer you could get when you walk into a room to negotiate for yourself. And most people said, no. I said, actually, that's the best answer you can get. The worst answer can get is yes, because guess what? Guess let's say you go in a room and you said, Hey, I need a promotion. And I needed this. And your boss says, Sam. Absolutely. And you walk out and you're like, I did it. You call your girlfriends, your mom, your dad. You're like, I did it. I got the promotion, I got the raise. I got more money. And they're like, how did it happen? You're like, I walked in there and I said, I needed this. And they said, yes. Okay. What you forgot though? Is that I think you're asking might've been too easy.
It's a great reminder. And I think the more you do it, the more comfortable you get with it, the more comfortable you get with asking with maybe hearing no with taking the time to do the work, to go back for the offer and realize it's always a process and that the best things you're going to get might take that time. And that really good thought. But to your point, you know, managers who you might be speaking to, you know, presumably they want to retain you. You are terrific value for them. You're a great performer. It's a lot easier to keep you, then find somebody else. So keep those things in mind when you're asking for things and ask and always ask. So I'd love to talk about the Instagram series. You have basics of bossing up. Let's talk about that. What is bossing up and what are your best bossing up tips?
Absolutely. So basics of bossing up, nobody wants to be called basic, right? Everyone's like, Oh, I don't want to be called basic. There's a moment in this new Netflix show in Liam Paris where she has this moment. And he's like, well, you're just basic. And she's like, maybe I am basic, but I'm your customer. Like, I'm the one who's dreaming of your couture gowns. And all I can afford is this cheap key chain that I put on my purse. And so maybe I'm basic, but basic means something. And I'm like, you go girl, because I've always subscribed to that. This idea of getting back to the basics is not easy. Getting back to the basics, actually challenging. And so Boston got to answer your question is when I say be a boss, I'm not talking about, we were just talking about managers. I'm not talking about your manager.
Everyone has a boss in their own, right? Not because I said so, because your mother said, so your guardian said so and so in that it means setting the standard, establishing the tone. So setting the standard means when you go into work, you're not just going to follow the rules. What are the rules I'm going to do? Exactly. And the rules, no, you're going to be innovative. You're going to share thoughts and ideas. You're going to give yourself to each project. We all do that, right. Which is why they always talk about many of us, the millennials, or many of us in general, just that eliciting, how we overwork ourselves, right? We give ourselves to our job. And the second thing about being a boss. And when I say you establish a standard and setting the tone is that when you walk into the room, you have power, you have personal power to influence anyone around you.
So if you walk in a room, I don't know if you've experienced this in a meeting and someone walks in or you don't zoom at this point, people come in and they just have a really like sad, nasty face. You're like, Oh, why are we being sad, Sally today? Like, I don't need that energy. I just had my macho or my tea or my coffee. And I'm just trying to live my best life because that person has power. You have power, your energy is contagious. So as a boss, you want to go ahead and I talk about reclaim agency. You want to step into that power. When you walk in the room, you set the tone, you get to decide to be positive, to influence those around you, to smile, to provide energy, to be upbeat. You have that. And it's not to say, go against how you're feeling that day.
We're all entitled to many uncomfortable, bad days because we are a multifaceted people. But just knowing that's your responsibility as a boss, you know, and I think that that's what it boils down to is are those two things, a tone and a standard. You live by a standard that's higher than the rules. And not that you're above the law or above the rules, but that you push beyond that and being innovative. And that you set that tone. Whenever you walk into a room or zoom, you have that power people care and you have it, it's in you. And that means you're a boss.
Thank you. I love that. So let's talk about your role as a Peloton instructor and coach and this community, which is now 2 million strong or so. So you have this 3 million, whoo. This platform I think, has been so unbelievable, especially during this time when we've all needed to come together. And we can't physically the fact that the company modified things to do it from home. The fact that members encourage each other, you play a really strong role in this. And I think you bring a very unique angle and persona, frankly, to the instructors there. But I'd love to hear from your words, you know, what are you trying to convey? And especially when you have either your boss of brides or Sundays with love rides and you have very different rides during the week, I think that might cater to different audiences. So tell us about what you're trying to do and how you'd like to reach people.
Yeah. And I think it's, again, that level of humanity and say, we all want a great workout. We all want to enjoy it while we do it. But one of the things that's really important to me and to answer your question of what do I want to offer is that I want to make sure that I create space for everyone. Again, I, how it feels to be on the outside, looking in knocking. I know how it feels to walk in and be a party of one. We don't subscribe to that at Peloton. And so for our community, we want to make sure that whether I teach a classic rock, which I taught yesterday, or pop this morning or country ride or Sundays with love, which is thought provoking spiritually grounded, a celebration of life, or that boss ride that you might be hating me during the ride, but you'll love me at the end because it's so hard. 2ff7e9595c
