![]() This marks Witherspoon’s first comedy series starring vehicle she made her foray into TV series with dramas Big Little Lies at HBO, which originated as a limited series, and The Morning Show at Apple TV+. ![]() The concept for the series, which has a little bit of Ted Lasso vibe to it, was loosely inspired by Andrea Kulberg’s story as an American woman from the South who went to the UK to teach British teens about cheerleading. She will direct the pilot and half of the episodes, and will executive produce the series through her Lean Machine banner.Īll Stars follows a former cheerleader from Daytona Beach (Witherspoon) who cons her way across the pond to teach cheerleading at a school in coastal England and has to show a ragtag group of students – and herself – how to be All Stars. The Devil Wears Prada writer and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend co-creator Aline Brosh McKenna is creator and showrunner. And what I was reminded was that in nature, everything is in alignment and everything has its own unique place under this starry sky.The project comes from Witherspoon’s production company Hello Sunshine, with the company’s Lauren Neustadter also executive producing. It’s getting out of our own way.Ī s an ‘aligned’ side note, I’m actually writing these words to you under a full starry sky, in a remote village in the heart of my home country Romania, where I came for a week to work immersed in nature and quietness (thanks to remote work!). It’s moving towards, rather than moving against ourselves. My belief is that alignment is just life keeping us on our natural evolution course and that what genuinely attracts us is what’s best for our healthiest growth. In fact, whatever you think the effort is to seek and find aligned roles, it doesn’t even come close to the effort and energy it takes to constantly mitigate these continuous inner (and eventually outer) conflicts between your values and needs and the values and needs of the company and team you’re a part of, if you’re missing that alignment. In the end, the amount of work is the same. The world is more connected than ever, and opportunities abound, both in quantity and diversity, giving us a lot more chances to find companies and roles we genuinely feel aligned with, as long as we’re willing to look out for them.Īnd if you think about it, if you’re gonna put energy into looking for a role, you might as well channel that energy in the right direction, and find something that truly excites you, that is in harmony with who you are. Now our scarcity mindset might tell us that seeking and finding alignment in work is hard, even impossible, or a luxury only a few can afford, and that we should just go for whatever opportunity arises.īut the reality is we live in a day and age where finding alignment is actually very possible. Work becomes an extension of who we are, instead of a contradiction. When we work in alignment and coherence with our values, gifts and our core beliefs on the other hand, we’re taking the shortest route to fulfilling (and expressing) our potential, and finding meaning and purpose in our work. Occasional friction is of course part of life, and can be a way for us to fine tune and learn more about ourselves and others, but when it’s a daily reality, it ends up consuming most of our resources and leaves us feeling depleted, unmotivated and far off-course. Likewise, we know that working in a role or an environment that isn’t aligned with our values or meeting our core needs can bring about a lot of inner conflict and block our natural creative flow. It’s not that we don’t want to have as many people as possible on this journey we’re taking – in fact having a big community where every single person in the ecosystem is thriving is part of our higher vision – but we know that where misalignment exists, there’s resistance and friction, and holding back. We take a very conscious approach with who we let into our ecosystem too, be it partners, investors or anyone involved in our community, in one way or the other. And how disruptive and constricting misalignment can be. ![]() That’s because we know how vital and expansive alignment is. We’re constantly making sure that we’re all feeling aligned with our vision, values and what we’re building in the world and also that our community embraces, shares and nurtures the same values as we do.īringing more alignment into the work world is also a core part of our purpose as a company, and helping people all around the world find aligned roles where they can truly show up as themselves, in their full integrity and potential. In our team we talk a lot about alignment.
