STRETCHES FOR THE OFFICE WORKER
THE STORY BEHIND
STRETCHES FOR THE OFFICE WORKER
In my actual 9-6, I would spend hours locked into Excel and data. Hunched over my desk, my right hand cramping from mouse’ing between screens and sitting cross legged on my chair. Back to back meetings and a packed calendar leads to hours in our chair, sometimes not even seeing the sunlight or getting a chance to get up. As a righty, I have shoulder and neck pain on my right side - probably from the mouse work. And because our body is all connected, I sometimes feel it in my lower backThese are some easy stretches you can sneak in. You don’t even have to do all of them, and you probably won’t. Find a moment to stretch out your arms or legs. Do some neck rolls. Just remember to move your bodyIt’s been so fun getting to blend 2 things I love (yoga, advertising) and getting to share it with the world. SO, I made a video to put a piece of it outside my little advertising bubble :) with love,
monica

“YOU DONT COME INTO THE CULTURE, YOU CREATE IT”
CORPORATE WELLNESS
As a side quest in my 9-6, I had the honor of serving as Co/Chair of the Emerging Professionals Network. Tasked with curating culture across diversity & inclusion, I collaborated with C-Suite Leadership and my fellow EPN leaders to curate a monthly agenda rooted in professional development opportunities, industry trends & EDM music. Working closely with @alinajan16 & @sydneymayes, we saw attendance grow from >30 to the hundreds. Our vision was to cultivate a community, within the advertising industry, where employees consistently feel empowered to knowledge share with like minded people
Marrying fitness and corporate culture, I leveraged my fitness background to plan the company’s 1st nation-wide Employee Appreciation Week. We had both IRL & virtual activations in NYC, Chicago, Atlanta & Dallas. Themes were: Mindfulness Monday, Teaching Tuesdays, Thankful Thursday and Free & Flow Friday
On Mindfulness Monday, I lead 85+ attendees through mediation, dharma and a yoga practice

DONUT CONTENT
My parents own a donut shop Mr. Donuts & Kolaches in a small Texan town, where community runs deep and population runs small. I’ve been running their Local Facebook page for years ; it’s been fun playing my hand with food photography & small town organic media
