In the long run: What leaders can learn from a dual Olympic gold medalist in triathlon. Not all these articles are good but this one has some interesting insights https://mck.co/4bFmSwG

Paralympian Brant Garvey makes No Xcuses This week, I had the incredible opportunity to attend an event hosted by ANZ, featuring the remarkable Paralympian Brant Garvey as a guest speaker. Brant, an above-knee amputee, shared his awe-inspiring journey of overcoming self-limiting beliefs and achieving greatness. At the age of 28, Brant asked himself a powerful question: "What can I achieve if I stop making excuses?" This pivotal moment led him to become the first above-knee amputee to compete in an Ironman Triathlon, setting a world record in the process. Brant shared three key insights that resonated deeply with me: Just Start: Don't wait for the perfect scenario. Begin your journey and learn to correct your course along the way. 🚀 Embrace High-Risk Goals: It might sound counterintuitive, but selecting a goal where the chance of failure is high develops your resilience toolkit, helping you navigate challenges more effectively. 💪 Identify and Address Excuses: Always look for that one excuse holding you back and tackle it head-on. 🛠️ Brant's story made the audience reflect on how often the desire for perfection and the ease in making excuses can be such a roadblock to people achieving their full potential. His insights are a powerful reminder of how procrastination can hold us back. Thank you ANZ and Chee Kin Cheong for the invitation and thanks Brant Garvey, for sharing your incredible journey with us. #Motivational #Inspiring #Excuses #FulfilYourPotential #BrantGarvey

👇 This is the generation to pay it forwards for 👇 In triathlon, we are about to see the first of three World Championship races coming up. This is exciting and often we hear the word ‘role model’ thrown around too. But take a moment to consider, what truly is role model? How are the actions and behaviours of those who have the platform and privilege to, inspiring the next generation? Role model is not about being the fastest, winning the most, but about who you are and what you are doing to pay it forwards. I cannot wait to see @michelle.jackson3 and Helen Fletcher, MESci, PGDip Personalised Nutrition racing at the Ironman World Championships this coming weekend. These are the women for the next generation to be inspired by. For who they are, how they do it and how they can genuinely inspire the next generation with their stories and experience. They are role model. How can we shout about more role models like this, to truly inspire the next generation and show them how sport can be truly transformational?

Last night, I got called out for not practising what I preach! I popped over to the Network Group after-party (thanks for having me guys) and caught up with Robert Boyns. Rob and I share a mutual love of triathlon (though compared to him, I’m just playing at it – he’s done 11..... I have not!). He asked me what I'm doing now for work, and I explained that we help businesses and leaders turn their dreams into plans. After a lengthy conversation, Rob hit me with a zinger: “So, what’s your goal for your next Ironman?” I had to admit… I didn’t have one, not that I'd thought about anyway. Cue the 'Cheshire grin' from Rob. He tactfully pointed out, “How can you help people focus on goals when you’re not focused on one yourself?” - Great point. On the drive home (don’t worry, I’m on Sober October), I started building my goal. Something visceral, more than just turning up and cracking on. In short, it’s to push myself to better my previous Ironman time. Thanks for holding me accountable Rob – we all need it. Triathlons have always been a passion of mine because they push me beyond my limits and teach me resilience. Now, it’s time to set a new benchmark. #Accountability #GoalSetting #Triathlon #SoberOctober

What You Need to Hear I absolutely love the Olympics and have revelled in the wondrous achievements of so many athletes over the past week. While I wish I could have fully immersed myself in each and every sport, I did have work to do! However, on Wednesday July, 31st I had to stop what I was doing to pay full attention to the triathlon. Given that a triathlon takes about 2hrs 45mins to complete, I’d had it on the TV in the background while I carried on with my various tasks for the day. Every so often I’d glance to see that the GB athlete Alex Yee was in the “leading group”. I’d spotted that as time ticked by and their third discipline of running was well underway, the clear leader was Hayden Wilde from New Zealand. Alex was in second place and considerably behind Hayden - with the French athlete Léo Bergère drawing ever-closer to potentially push Alex into third. They were now on the final lap and my hopes were dashed, until the commentator excitedly said, “Alex is catching Hayden!” This was the point I put down my pen. What happened next was incredible. Alex had fallen 18 seconds behind the leader and was suddenly accelerating. He overtook the leader - who couldn’t fight back - and Alex sprinted to the finish line to be crowned Olympic champion. It was an unbelievable spectacle - and as the commentators discussed the events that unfolded, even they were asking ‘what happened to make Alex accelerate like that?’ The answer was four words. One of GB’s most decorated triathletes Alistair Brownlee was in the crowd and shouted “Anything can happen, mate!”. This message - along with who shouted it - was the magic needed to push Alex Yee on. It gave him hope, belief and drive. The learning for me this week is the power of hearing what you need to hear. There are 3 elements of a #message which are important in its delivery of #hope, #belief and #drive: 1. WHAT you need to hear 2. WHEN you need to hear it 3. WHO you need to hear it from #teamwork #olympics #inspiration #sketchnote #smallidea

Setting goals in business is a common practice. I believe that our goals should be centered around our passions and what truly excites us. In business, we set objectives for ourselves and our teams, often referring to them as goals. The real magic lies in approaching these goals with the same level of passion and enthusiasm as achieving a personal milestone, like getting out of the water in time during a triathlon. #GoalSetting #Passion #BusinessObjectives

📆 Book an event! 🏋️🏼 It can be a 10k, half mararathon, ultra race a triathlon, a hyrox what ever you want but the point is you have something that is hard enough to dedicate enough time to. To not only complete the challenge but change your life in doing so. Its the most important part of my programmes and it works. You have a short term goal in mind that you have to reach for yourself, then you tell others about it which makes you commit more then you see your life change, go through some up and downs, have a coach to keep you focused and after 3-6 months you are a new person. Ever thought of booking an event?

🥈 ➡️ 🥉 The Unexpected Turn in Team GB's Olympic Journey! At the recent Paris 2024 Olympic Games, we witnessed a compelling narrative unfold in the mixed relay triathlon—an event that combines the endurance and strategy of swimming, cycling, and running. Initially, Team GB celebrated securing the silver medal, showcasing a phenomenal performance that had fans on the edge of their seats. However, a dramatic turn of events led to the team being awarded the bronze instead. Having competed in triathlons during my university days, I vividly recall the mix of emotions and the sheer unpredictability of the sport. It's not just about physical prowess but also tactical acumen. Seeing a similar scenario unfold at such a grand scale reminded me of the heart-pumping final stretches where every second and every decision can change the outcome. This instance raises several points worth reflecting on: - The importance of adaptability and resilience, not just in sports but in our professional lives. - The role of teamwork and clear communication in managing unforeseen challenges. 🏅 Have you ever faced a sudden change in a team project or goal? How did you adapt to achieve success despite the hurdles? 💡 What lessons can businesses learn from such high-pressure team scenarios in sports?
