Lessons from the Marathon

Typically, any big endeavor in life worth doing involves some “uphill climbing.” And some running against the wind. And maybe even a few blisters. But when obstacles to success are perceived as opportunities for learning, they can provide valuable life-long lessons for living well. Lessons from the Marathon looks at the path an average runner took to accomplishing one of the greatest goals any runner undertakes, the 26.2 mile marathon. Through stories of the training process, the big day, and post recovery, you’ll be motivated and inspired to adjust your mental perspective and learn how to face the challenges life may throw at you -- head on.

The Seek/Tell Balancing Act

Great leaders are also great coaches when they balance seeking and telling. Often, a leader's first instinct is to tell an employee how to get better results. This session guides leaders through the more balanced approach of seeking an employee's input first. Great coaches encourage employees to think through situations and formulate their own ideas. Seeker-coaches share their experiences, insights and ideas only when needed. The result is a more empowered employee who's more likely to contribute in the future.
