"Running To Leadership"
What Finishing 100+ Marathons On All Seven Continents Teaches Us About Success

Presented by Anthony Reed

 
 

Successful endurance athletes and business managers exhibit the same characteristics to thrive. They manage change by taking calculated risks and gradually expanding their comfort zones. This is how a miler becomes a marathoner and an individual contributor becomes a successful manager. They must incorporate change, manage risk, and motivate people to go up hill at a time when they want to quit. All of this must be achieved in a stressful, challenging business environment. 

Preparing for and completing a marathon is the perfect backdrop for examining the problems and challenges faced by today’s business leaders. While all certified marathons are the same distance, the dangers, terrain, altitude, and weather offer unique and varying challenges. However, you quickly learn that hills build character.

  • The 3,600 steps of the Great Wall of China Marathon relate to a 3,600-task project schedule.
  • Dealing with predators on Kenya’s Lewa SafriCom Marathon course was like managing risks on  international, multi-million dollar projects.
  • Setting realistic project goals is like running in the frigid Antarctica Marathon.

The presenter shares his experiences as a 25-year, corporate executive and finisher of over one hundred-twenty 26.2-mile marathons to show you methods to lead people using marathon techniques and strategies. The presenter is also one of fewer than 300 people in the world to have completed a marathon on all seven continents, including Antarctica.  He's also completed marathons in each of the 50 States. This presentation is based on Anthony's latest book, Running to Leadership: What Finishing 100+ Marathons On All Seven Continents Teaches Us About Success.
