Fridays’ thought. Great pit stops win races, lousy pit stops lose races. What happens when the pit crew comes together determines the outcome of the race. Our research shows that what happens when your team come together determines the success of your growth plans and initiatives. Something to think about.

I'm back in Tennessee this week to participate in The Last Annual Heart of the South road race for the 3rd time. The race director sent a great summary to a prospective participant last week. For me the uncertainty is the draw and like anything, if success was guaranteed, what would be the point in trying. Here is the summary: "I got an email last week, a multi day runner interested in the possibility of a last minute entry in to the HOTS.... Here is my response....was I encouraging enuff???? -------- we do have room. before I encourage you to run and sign up... are you familiar with the format? i.e. we all meet at the finishline next wednesday morning, we drive you to a start point and give you a GPS route to follow along highways and byways....back to the finish. you are just a pedestrian journey runner....responsible for your own safety and self sufficiency. the roads are hazardous, especially when you are exhausted. there is no set aid, just what you find at stores and motels along the way. gaps between supplies can be lengthy (if you pass thru when they are closed it can mean a whole day with only what's in your pack!) If you drop, we will pick you up within a day or so and get you to the finish at our earliest convenience. we typically consider HOTS to be an advanced multi day runner's race, for those with journey running experience (long distance running on roads between cities without course markings or aid stations). but we do accept newcomers to the format, so long as you feel equipped for the challenge. most of our runners consider it to be one of the most, if not *the* most, adventurous ultra they ever do... even though it is almost entirely on paved roads! This year's route is ~381 miles, and we'll allow 10.5 days. let me know if you have any questions, and if you go ahead and register for the wait list, i will send you an invite as soon as I see it. peace, carl (So far, they have not registered, I guess I didn't sell it...)" - Carl Laniak

I love how this article that our DCI team placed ties in a well-known sports entity and how its investment in a city can impact an entire economy by attracting complementary industries, residents and visitors. A tri-fecta of place marketing success. We know that sports tourism is one of the fastest growing sectors in attracting leisure visitors, and we also know through Development Counsellors International's proprietary research that a potential workforce likes to visit a place first before relocation. So here's a quick tip when it comes to #talentattraction marketing: If you want to elevate your region as a great place to live and do business, don't be afraid to leverage the brand reputation of your sports teams and the development they bring to your economy. It's a winning combination. (Also...if I was more sports inclined I'd probably have a better pun... please don't tell my husband, who played college baseball, how woefully ignorant I am with these types of analogies:) #econdev #economicdevelopment

🚀 The Thrill of Racehorse Ownership: A Unique Blend of Passion and Prestige 🏇 One of the most exhilarating aspects of owning a racehorse is the unmatched excitement of race day—watching your horse charge down the track, knowing that every stride is the result of careful planning and dedication. Racehorse ownership goes beyond being a spectator. It's about being deeply involved in the journey—from selecting your horse to collaborating with trainers and making strategic decisions. It’s a profound sense of pride, shared victories, and the invaluable lessons from every race. Moreover, ownership opens doors to an exclusive world of luxury events, elite networking opportunities, and a vibrant community of fellow enthusiasts. It's not just about the races; it's about being part of a storied tradition where every win is a celebration of commitment, strategy, and the bond you share with your horse. 🏆✨ #RacehorseOwnership #PassionAndPrestige #EquestrianExcellence

Do you have runners on your team gearing up for races this Fall? Here’s how to support them after their big event: 1. Encourage them to get up from their desk or workstation, stretch, walk, and move regularly throughout the day to aid their recovery. 2. Surprise them with healthy, carb-rich snacks and low-sugar electrolyte drinks. 3. Celebrate their achievement as a team! Help your runners recover and stay motivated for their next race! -- Check out Dr. Natalie Ullrich's blog to learn more about what your runners may be experiencing after their race and what they should do to recover well. https://lnkd.in/gfzifY_p #TeamSupport #RaceRecovery #celebrateaccomplishments #buildhealthyteams #buildstrongrelationships
