'You are exactly who you need to be. And exactly where the universe needs you to be.'
, the Las Vegas shootings, impending climate disaster, widespread political dysfunction, and not one buteconomic meltdowns. Now a global pandemic has robbed you of the senior spring celebration you earned and put in doubt any plan you may have made for life after graduation.
That perspective led us to make meaningful commitments, not just to improving working conditions, but to things like environmental sustainability and good governance. Those and many other reforms have made Nike a stronger company in ways we couldn’t have imagined when we made them. The mantra was to continually strive to do better—not just in moments of crisis, but every day.The thing about plans is that they inevitably fall apart. That’s what plans do.
My first day at Nike, I faced problems that spanned a world’s worth of cultures, economies, and legal systems. I was never going to solve them all in one fell swoop. I didn’t even have an idea of where to start. I was raised strict Greek Orthodox, and, growing up, I desperately wanted to be an altar boy since that’s where the action was during our interminable church services. But—news flash—I was a girl. The priest told me I could clean the church, that would be a holy task.
The trick is, instead of trying to figure out how these people can get you what you want, try to figure out what they know that you don’t. Stop valuing these relationships based on what they can do for you—it might be that nobody can do much for you right now—and start valuing them because of the experiences they can share.
But one thing that successful people will always tell you is that it’s hard to put ambition in context with the other things that make life fulfilling; things like relationships, family, and economic security. Now in my 50s, I’m proud of what I’ve achieved and glad to have spent so much of my life traveling the world and doing meaningful work. But I also realize that I never really slowed down enough to find a partner, build my community, and take care of my physical and mental well-being.
