From New Grad to Leader: A Four Month Reflection at Longevity

ByGeorgia Wassall

Today, Longevity Exercise Physiology ask Nat, recent new graduate and Leader of our Kingsgrove location, to shine a light on her first few months at Longevity.

In my brief yet transformative four months with Longevity, I’ve witnessed a professional evolution beyond my initial expectations as an Exercise Physiologist (EP). Initially focused on clinical, face-to-face interactions with clients, I quickly found myself presented with unforeseen opportunities.

Within the first two weeks, I was invited to join the Emerging Leaders program, an initiative aimed at cultivating higher-level thinking and refining leadership skills. The experience, though initially daunting, has been instrumental in preparing me for a future leadership role.

More recently, I stepped into the realm of marketing, a domain I hadn’t anticipated exploring. Surprisingly, this foray into marketing has proven invaluable, not only enhancing my client interactions but also providing a comprehensive understanding of the strategic “why” behind our business.

Longevity, I’ve discovered, is more than just a workplace; it’s a dynamic environment where growth is not confined to clinical roles. The company fosters a culture that encourages exploration and development across various facets of the business.

As I look ahead, I am eager to continue this journey of growth within Longevity. Whether it’s leading a team or delving further into marketing strategies, the opportunities seem boundless. Longevity isn’t merely a job; it’s a platform for those ready to uncover their latent potential and embrace a future filled with growth and unexpected possibilities. Here’s to the ongoing chapter of professional development and unforeseen opportunities at Longevity.

Congratulations Nat on a fantastic start to your career with Longevity!

  • Milo of Croton

    ByJarrat Wood

    Milo of Croton was a wrestler of note who lived in the sixth Century BC. It is said that the great wrestler once lifted a 4-year-old bull on his shoulders, roasted it and ate it all in one day. Impressive, no? What I find most impressive about this story is how Milo was able to train and develop the strength to carry the bull. The tale goes that every day from when the calf was born, Milo would go out and lift the calf. As the calf grew so did Milo’s strength. Modern sport scientists would call this a perfect example of progressive overload in training. No doubt, modern day animal activists would probably have something to say as well! It is amazing what can be achieved when the sum of years of training is accumulated. Recently, the performance of two of my clients gave me pause to reconsider that we all have to start somewhere but eventually everyone can achieve great results over time.

  • Injury Prevention

    ByJarrat Wood

    At this time of year I see a lot of people with new injuries. When I ask them what they think caused it, they give me a sheepish kind of look, like they know they did something wrong. They then proceed to give me a list of “reasons” as to why they were a bit slack about exercising during winter but now that summer is approaching, they really need to get in shape fast, so they’re trying to fit 6 months of training into 3.
