The Ultrarunning Corporate Challenge 2025
Experts concur that the top 3 challenges facing corporate culture in 2025 are:
Ask any reasonably proficient ultrarunner what their sport contributes to their lives and they will surely mention in some form or other quantum leaps of growth in the essence of the above three.
Leadership starts from leading oneself. This is part and parcel of being an ultrarunner.
The organization culture issue in 2025 is aligning culture with reality. Ultrarunners, by necessity, are masters of this.
Strategic planning speaks for itself. You aren’t going to get anywhere near 50k without superior strategic planning skills.
Often, lightbulbs go off and revelations occur by doing something in another domain and having massive realizations about your own. The fancy term for this is incidental learning. It’s a bit like the scene in A Beautiful Mind, where John Nash conceptualizes his groundbreaking insight into economy during a dance at Princeton.
There are several sports-based corporate wellness consulting programs out there - run by highly respected and respectable companies and individuals. But with the exception of perhaps only one, they are all talk. They are applying principles in workshops and seminars. They are not actually affecting change through action. Doing is the only way we truly learn something new and adapt. ‘Talking the Walk’ has never achieved anything.
Honestly, how would your organization culture and employee engagement change if your leaders casually mentioned they did a 50k the day before? A profound trickle-down and ripple effect would be set in motion.
So, be in touch, let’s get some of your key players on board, and let’s dig into some seriously untapped potential.
