It's official y'all, I'm a Spartan! I also hit my goal of raising $1,000 for Care 2 Communities, thank you everyone who donated!! This race was the hardest physical challenge I've ever done. And did I mention, this was my first race, ever. This experience taught me two important lessons, that translate to the workplace. First, I learned that I can do hard things. My fitness journey has been filled with stops and starts. I challenged myself with what felt like an impossible task which required consistency. I almost backed out several times, but sure enough, with the right conditioning and nutrition, my body outperformed my own expectations. Second, I learned that I don't have to do hard things alone. Along my fitness journey I found community, and this kept me going. But what was even more surprising was the level of comradery that I experienced during the race. I raced with a small group, so had immediate support. But several times throughout the race people outside of my small group shared a word of encouragement when I started to slow down, advice on how to tackle an obstacle, and even a fist bump when I nailed the spear throw on the first try (humble brag). This made the whole experience all the more fulfilling. We are all tackling the journey of our careers and professions as individuals, and we also exist in teams and community. We can do hard things and solve hard problems, and we don't have to do it alone. I challenge you to open yourself to a broader and more diverse community of support and guidance. And if you see someone on your team or outside of your team struggling or having a hard time, pause, connect, and share a word of encouragement or advice. You never know what obstacles people are navigating. #fitnessjourney #teamwork #mondaymotivation

It's a big moment, HALF WAY!!! 🥳🎉🎊 • Now, we'll pre-empt the comments and explain that half way is actually a tricky thing to identify. The distance left is 'as the crow flies', and the distance he's rowed includes various wiggles in his track. If he does a similar amount of wiggles between now and the finish line then he's not quite half way, but the main point is, he's got less miles left until Penzance, than he has already rowed. 💪 • Physically, this means very little, there is no fanfare aboard the boat, no inflatable arch to row under, no impromptu fireworks...but psychologically, this is MASSIVE! 🙌 • Up until this point, when the chips were down, Tom may have been questioning whether he can even do this. It's SO far, it's SO hard...it's almost inconceivable to think about. Now though, he KNOWS he can finish it, because everything he has left to do, is LESS than he's already done. And that feeling must be wonderful. 😁 • Here we go Mr. Waddington, we're on the downhill stretch now!! ⛷️ • Remember, Tom is rowing the Atlantic to raise money and awareness for Mind - please donate to this brilliant cause today at https://lnkd.in/e55nzqnz 🌐 • A huge thank you to all of Tom's sponsors who have helped make this amazing challenge possible: - Gold sponsors: Everlast Gyms Tritax Symmetry Tritax Big Box REIT plc - Silver sponsors: VW&S Group BOOM POWER - Bronze sponsors: Immobilier du Pont - Le Châble Hotel Farinet Verbier • #mindoarmatter #atlanticrow #atlantic #oceanrow #mind #mindcharity #mentalhealth #Tritaxbigbox

It's Road Safety Week, an annual event held in the UK by Brake, the road safety charity to raise awareness of keeping everyone safe on our roads. Read our article in Fleet News about how telematics can help to encourage better driving and improve road safety. https://lnkd.in/ePZNFEN6 #radius #telematics #radiustelematics #roadsafety #fleetsafety #fleetmanagement #roadsafetyweek

The value we derive from connecting with horses is immeasurable. How can we quantify the essence of love, courage and joy? Attempting to assign a numerical range falls short of capturing the whole narrative. It doesn’t reveal the layers of personal battles overcome in pursuit of that joy. Consider the journey of one young rider featured in this video, who was once overwhelmed with fear at the thought of moving on horseback. This fear was a heavy burden, gripping him tightly. Yet, through gradual progress, observed week by week, a transformation unfolded. Eventually, his perception shifted; what was once a source of fear became a source of enjoyment. The evolution of his confidence throughout our sessions is truly remarkable. No figure can encapsulate this transformation. It’s an experience that must be felt or seen to be understood fully. I feel profoundly privileged to have witnessed his extraordinary journey.

Great article from Jonathan Haseler in Fleet News this #roadsafetyweek, focusing on how fleet managers can improve road safety with the help of technology such as telematics. Interested? Ask our team about integrating telematics alongside your fuel.

How do you awaken sleeping giants like Garmin UK, Garmin HOKA and Under Armour ? I’m currently participating in a charity challenge using their products and have been trying to engage these brands for weeks. I’m not asking for money or free products—just a little support to help raise awareness for this important cause. Despite reaching out via email, social media, and even phone calls, I’ve received no response. I’m disappointed by the lack of engagement and am now turning to my network for advice and support. Have you faced similar challenges? Any suggestions on how to get these brands’ attention? Your insights could make a big difference. #CharityChallenge #BrandAwareness #SupportNeeded #SocialImpact #Garmin #HOKA #UnderArmour #Marketing #CorporateResponsibility #CommunitySupport #Leadership #CSR
