Tough Mudder’s Post

do what you preach... Yesterday I spent 2 1/2 hours skiing on Grouse Mountain, then changed to my snowshoes for another 2 1/2 hours of pretty hard hiking to Thunderbird Ridge and back over Dam Mountain. Plenty of time to practice some Continuous Improvement and think about the next evolution of my Roots, Rocks and Results program for Operational and Organizational Change. What's worked well, what are some shortcomings, how can I improve delivery to my clients, and further improve the success rate by my clients? All of us need to step back once in a while, evaluate what we do and decide what we can improve and how. #continuousimprovement

🌊 Diving into the world of business strategy: Red Ocean vs. Blue Ocean 🌊🔴 Red Ocean Strategy: Are you swimming in a sea of fierce competition? Red Ocean Strategy focuses on competing in existing markets, battling rivals for market share. It's all about outperforming competitors, often leading to price wars and limited growth opportunities. 🦈 Dive in cautiously, the waters can get bloody!💡 Tip: While Red Ocean Strategy can be intense, don't forget to innovate within existing market boundaries to stay ahead of the pack! 🚀#RedOceanStrategy #BusinessStrategy #Competition #innovation

Sometimes you’ve got to go for it— almost like a child— a little less thinking a little more yes-ing. 

After a year+ long hiatus from the east coast slopes— found myself out west for the first time this week skiing Breckenridge with my cousins and uncle (who are fantastic skiers)…

They agreed to take a few runs down some easier blues to warm up. An hour or so later I was asked, “Ready to head up to Peak 6?” I replied quickly trying to eliminate thoughts of the 12,500 ft elevation and what would be there waiting for me, “Alright.” 

Would I have gone up there otherwise? Not likely. 

#Comfortzones seem to grow greater as we age. They show up at work, in our decision-making, in the relationships we seek out, in the risks we will or won’t take— and even on the mountain! 🏔️ 

Sometimes we need the slightest prompt to answer a Q we wouldn’t have asked ourselves in order to experience something new, create learnings, maximize our opportunities. An #executivecoach is someone you’ll find in your corner who knows the right moments to ask you whether you’re “ready to head to Peak 6”. 

Let me take you to Peak 6. Learn more about my coaching approach and what clients are saying I bring to our work together: https://lnkd.in/eJCirD-W

Here comes the Easter holidays - I’m off skiing into Norway over the Swedish mountains, staying in huts with warm log fires; whilst spending the day in crisp blue skies and floating over expanses of white good (in reality: low visibiity, heavy snow, and several curse words about the cold and poor choice of glide waxes… :) ). In my head, I’ll be continuing to crack this “what is value?” problem. I’ll be building out from the follow base, which drives my “the progress economy” thinking: “Let’s explore value. It’s a fundamental driver of how we perceive the world around us. Our understanding shapes our beliefs about who creates it, how, and when. Such perspectives have far-reaching implications for how we approach, and succeed with, innovation. We’ll navigate through three models of value, each offering insights and solutions to the challenges of its predecessor: * value-in-exchange * value-in-use * value-through-progress”

🌲 How Does Embracing the Outdoors Fuel Your Growth Mindset? 🌲 Hey there LinkedIn fam! Just had an amazing day skiing at Panorama for my son's birthday, and it got me thinking. The great outdoors teach us so much about resilience, adaptability, and the beauty of unpredictability. Life, like the changing weather, throws curveballs at us, and it's all about how we swing at them that shapes our growth. Every fall, every laugh, every time we get back up and soar down the mountain again, we do it a little faster and with more confidence. How are you challenging yourself in nature today? 🎿🏔️ #NatureTeachesGrowth #SkiAdventure #LifeLessons #Resilience #Adaptability

Team Weary from Climbing a Mountain? 3 Tips for Boosting Performance https://lnkd.in/eYJiC3Uk

"Life is a marathon, not a sprint. Run your race, run your life! #runningmotivation #inspiration" - "Every step forward is a step closer to your goal. Keep running, keep shining! #runyourrace #runyourlife" - "You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great. Run your race, run your life! #motivationmonday #runninginspiration"

Some of the comments about Tim Marovt and his INCREDBILE achievements both in his recovery from a spinal cord injury and in his *multiple* marathon completions are not a vibe. First and foremost, Tim is a true testament to resilience, dedication and the power of mindset - he is an inspiration. But this is where I caveat, he's not an inspiration because of his challenges, but rather in spite of his challenges. Comments like "Does anyone want to moan about how hard their day looks today? Let’s get on with it, and be thankful." Are not supportive, motivational or inspirational. They are derogatory and potentially harmful. If you have to focus on someone else's challenges or struggles to give yourself a boost, you have some work to do on yourself. When you speak about disabled people this way it invalidates their experience, their contributions, their existence even. Comments like this minimise struggles and promote toxic positivity whilst reinforcing ableism. You should be deriving inspiration from his commitment, tenacity, and unrivalled drive, not comparing abilities.

What are you going to power through today?

The post below about Tim really is very inspiring, what a fighter he is. You can also learn more about his story through this link: https://lnkd.in/eaj4jNHK
