Case Study: Libby Mayo – Balancing Professional Success and Personal Well-being

Background:

Libby Mayo is a seasoned professional executive with a successful career in strategic consultancy & commercial strategies for premium brands. As a mother of three, she manages a challenging work-life balance, operating remotely from her home in Devon while frequently commuting to London for work. Her lifestyle demands not only high levels of energy and focus but also physical resilience to maintain her health amidst a busy schedule.

Challenges:

Libby's career involves extensive travel, client meetings, and long hours in a fast-paced industry. On top of managing her professional responsibilities, she is also committed to being an active and engaged mother. These challenges leave little time for a structured fitness routine. Additionally, her travels between Devon and London made it difficult for her to maintain consistency in her training and wellness goals.

Poseidon Performance Approach:

At Poseidon Performance, we understood that Libby's training needed to be flexible, accessible, and tailored to her dynamic lifestyle. To meet her needs, we provided a fully remote coaching plan that adapted to her varying locations and time constraints. Whether she was working out in her home gym in Devon or using hotel facilities in London, our programs were designed to ensure that she could stay consistent, no matter where she was.

1. Custom Workout Plans:

We designed programs that could be completed with the equipment she had available in her home gym and adaptable to minimal equipment when she traveled. These workouts were structured around her work schedule, often focusing on quick but effective sessions that targeted strength, mobility, and cardiovascular health.

2. Remote Support:

Using digital tools, we provided ongoing support through virtual check-ins, video feedback, and messaging. This allowed Libby to receive immediate adjustments to her routine based on her energy levels, available time, or access to gym facilities while traveling.

3. Lifestyle Integration:

Beyond physical fitness, we worked with Libby to integrate her wellness goals into her overall lifestyle. This included advice on maintaining energy levels during her commute, managing stress, and optimising her sleep and recovery routines, all of which were essential for maintaining peak performance both at work and at home.

Results:

Libby has successfully integrated consistent exercise into her routine, no matter how demanding her schedule becomes. This has not only improved her physical fitness but also enhanced her focus, resilience, and overall well-being. She reports feeling more energetic during her commutes and more balanced in managing her dual roles as a professional and mother.

Conclusion:

Libby Mayo's case demonstrates the power of a flexible, adaptive coaching approach that fits seamlessly into the lives of busy professionals. At Poseidon Performance, our remote coaching model enabled her to overcome logistical barriers and achieve her fitness and wellness goals, setting her up for long-term success both personally and professionally.
