We all crave momentum. It's the feeling of being on a roll – unstoppable.
How do you create momentum?
We asked some of our teammates to share how they think about momentum:
Everyone builds momentum in their own unique ways.
Sometimes you have to mix things up to get into that flow again.
We recently retired our "Weekly Wrap" all-company Friday meetings, and we've since ushered in a new era with our "Momentum Monday" meetings.
Instead of gathering our team on Fridays to look back and reflect on the week, we pivoted to kicking off the week together and focusing on looking forward.
Here are a few other momentum builders we've put in place at SHIFT:
Let us know your secrets for building and sustaining momentum.

How: Stop accepting old ways of thinking
With 400K+ video views, our CEO Joe Mechlinski's 17-minute TEDx Talk will get you fired up to start asking questions that you may never have thought to ask before.

Despite being a weekly contributor to Stories that SHIFT, I haven't properly introduced myself... My name is Julie and I want to step out from behind the curtain to share something that meant a lot to me.
After a long fight with cancer, my dad passed away this summer.
As someone else who is far too familiar with losing loved ones, my CEO Joe Mechlinski sent me a book called Touching Two Worlds by Dr. Sherry Walling – and it's been a game changer. The book is positioned as a guide for finding hope in the landscape of loss, and yet it's meant much more than that to me.
Supporting employees through grief means more than giving a few days off of work. Leaders like Joe and people who read this book get that.
For anyone who is personally coping with loss or knows someone who is, I hope this book offers you the comfort that it's given me.
Also, if you're in the Washington, D.C. area, Dr. Sherry Walling will be speaking at this Cadre event in D.C. on September 29th.
