Can your greatest strengths be overused?This question comes from Dr. Sandi Scheinbaum, health psychologist, former teacher, founder and CEO of the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (FMCA)—and self-described “renegade.” Slalom is partnering with Dr. Sandi on a health coaching pilot to explore ways of better supporting our team members. In this episode, she discusses the benefits of health coaching, behavior change, and evaluating your “why” when you’re working to the point of fatigue. We all know why taking a break is good, but what about incorporating creativity into your routine and understanding your other lifestyle factors? Tune in!

Designing an intuitive, poolside application that led to 6 gold medals
When a key piece of technology broke, Swimming Australia partnered with Slalom Build to help implement a new relay application less than a month before the 2020 Tokyo Games. In this episode, Michelle Oh from the Australia market details the ins and outs of new data-driven application and shares valuable insights on what it was like to leverage machine learning and artificial intelligence to inform competitive race strategies.
