Simple Techniques, Profound Impacts
How can we create certainty in an uncertain environment? Will we let defeat stop us or will we use it as feedback for change that to bring about ultimate victory? Where will we draw strength from when we want to quit? Are we the person our dreams demand us to be to achieve them?
These were some of the many difficult questions Mark had to answer in his 7- year journey from defeat to ultimate victory at the Hawaiian Ironman. Accompanied by compelling race footage, Mark’s presentation incorporates strategies for dealing with change and unexpected challenge, how to come back when success seems impossible, and the importance of doing the work required of becoming a champion.
