The Julian Krinsky Group is a prestigious sports and educational entity that serves more than 4,000 young people each year through leading-edge summer programs. Based in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, the Group serves families from all over the world. Their standards are high—really high! Their aim is to deliver the very finest, most innovative, learning experiences possible.
The staff is young—typically those in their early 20’s. Delivering such high quality programs through a young staff is no easy task. Tina Krinsky, Chief Visionary Officer of the Group, found the mind-set material “the perfect inspiration for my dozen different orientation speeches that I give to over 400 staff from all over the world.”
Of course, Tina wanted to instill within the staff the standards of excellence that was expected of them. But more importantly, she told the staff that she considered each and every one of them a professional—- certainly a contrarian notion when one considers their young age. Yet she noted, “we deliver the finest, most professional, learning experiences for young people in the world. Only you as professionals can ensure that happens. I have every confidence you will do exactly that.” They do.
Tina sees in those young staffers what they can’t immediately see in themselves. By the end of each summer, staffers grow just as much as their young students do. They grow—not because they are trying to do something—but because they are attempting to be something.
