				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Meet Melissa! She manages to mix work and play daily at her job in Store Development. She's regularly spotted breaking a sw</em><em>eat in a circuit training class, in between calls on her Blackberry (she's attached at the hip to that thing!). Melissa is a do-er, and though I haven't worked directly with her (yet!) she is known around the lululemon parts as someone who gets stuff done!</em></p>
<h1>What do you do at lululemon?</h1>
<p>I’m a Project Coordinator ... "What does that mean?" is usually the next question I get. Basically I manage the process of construction related projects. I do this for showrooms, minor works (adding slat walls, adding lighting, replacing floors etc), sweeps program, and open re-models (a renovation done on a store while it remains open).</p>
<h1>What is a typical Monday like?</h1>
<p>Oh Mondays... bike to work, Store Dev construction call where we discuss the progress of each new store we are working on, lots of email catch up, circuit training, get down to business. I like to leave Mondays somewhat free from meetings because there is lots of catch up from the weekend. You have to play the coast game, send out a bunch of emails Friday afternoon and by the time you get in Monday morning all your east coast people have gotten back to you, very helpful.</p>
<h1>What are your quotes to live by?</h1>
<p>Live simply, speak kindly, love generously, care deeply.</p>
<h1>How do you sweat once a day?</h1>
<p>Bike, circuit training and now the Grouse Grind. I like to mix it up or I get bored.</p>
<h1>What is your 10 year goal?</h1>
<p>Hmmm…. Blissfully married to the man of my dreams, living in Vancouver by the beach, working part time, traveling the rest.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1172" title="Kingston Keyleader" src="http://lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/ti.jpg" alt="Kingston Keyleader" width="500" height="333" /></strong></p>
<p>This week we thought we'd introduce you to Tiffany. Tiffany works in our Kingston, Ontario store as a key leader and holds the lululemon world record for most <a href="http://shop.lululemon.com/Remix_Lulu_Hoodie/pd/np/550/p/1013.html?cid=BLOG">scuba hoodies</a> owned by a single person. It gets cold in Kingston after all! And so, without further ado ... meet Tiffany!</p>
<p><strong>What do you do at lululemon?</strong></p>
<p>I am currently a key leader at the store in <a href="http://www.lululemon.com/kingston/princessstreet">Kingston, Ontario</a>. That is my official job title – but what I really do is set big hairy audacious goals; teach and coach the people I work with; learn, learn, learn; and have fun! I am the visual merchandiser for the store, as well as the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/lululemonkingston">facebook</a> and website guru. I LOVE what I do.</p>
<p><strong>What is a typical Monday like?</strong></p>
<p>Working at the store in Kingston, each Monday is a bit different – but there are a few things that I never miss no matter the day! I always read the top-ten most emailed stories of the New York Times online (usually from my bed); grab a Starbucks; laugh; sweat; facebook; and listen to my favourite music!</p>
<p><strong>What are your quotes to live by?</strong></p>
<p>There are two quotes that I live by. The first is 'everything happens for a reason'. No matter what the situation, if you truly believe this is the case – you can never have a bad day. The second is 'experience is what you get when you don't get what you want'. Life is easy when its easy – it takes guts to learn from something you don't necessarily want to!</p>
<p><strong>When you were younger what did you want to be?</strong></p>
<p>I'm not sure if there was ever anything that I really wanted to be. I was always trying to create a business though – I loved lemonade stands! Now at the store in Kingston, we always joke that we are just 'playing store' – so I guess lululemon is where I'm supposed to be!</p>
<p><strong>How do you sweat once a day?</strong></p>
<p>I will either go for a run, go to my favourite yoga studio (which is a five minute walk from my house, which I LOVE!), or my guilty pleasure, sitting in the sun and sweatin' it out that way!</p>
<p><strong>What's your favourite piece lululemon makes?</strong></p>
<p>This is an impossible question for me to answer! I can't just pick one. Some of my favourite pieces are: the <a href="http://shop.lululemon.com/Remix_Lulu_Hoodie/pd/np/550/p/1013.html">Remix lulu Hoodie</a>, the <a href="http://shop.lululemon.com/Relaxed_Fit_Crop_II/pd/np/570/p/1267.html">Relaxed Fit Crops</a>, the <a href="http://shop.lululemon.com/Run_Race_Tech_II/pd/np/540/p/1364.html">RUN: Race Te</a>ch and the Groovie Gym Bag. My favourite lululemon colour of all time is sunshine!</p>
<p><strong>What is your 10 year goal?</strong></p>
<p>I am living in Vancouver, working at the lululemon Store Support Centre. I have a beautiful loft, with a huge dining room so I can have dinner parties all the time (as of now I don't cook!). I live within walking distance to a yoga studio and a lululemon store. I have done my yoga teacher training, and am working on getting my MBA. Whew!</p>
<p><strong>Do you have a BHAG?</strong></p>
<p>Firstly, BHAGs are an addiction of mine. I set a new BHAG at least once a week… and I know I have a really, really good one when I get a little flutter in my heart every time I think about it! Currently, my biggest, baddest, hairiest audacious goal is to be the CEO of lululemon athletica by February 9, 2024. That's 15 years from the day I set it – I will be just shy of turning 35.</p>
<p><strong>What is your greatest achievement so far?</strong></p>
<p>Oh goodness! Well I like to think that I have way bigger and better achievements still ahead of me, but if I had to choose, it would be the life I've created for myself. It's the realization that I am in total control of my life – what I want, I can create!</p>
<p><strong>Where do you think lululemon will be in 50 years?</strong></p>
<p>In 50 years it will be June 2059, and I will be 70 years old. I truly cannot say – the world is moving at such a rapid rate, it's near impossible to speculate. I do know that <em>lululemon will have changed the world </em>– in raising the level of health of its communities, changing existing business practices, with respect to the environment, and the list could go on. It's as simple as that!</p>
