Learning from setbacks – how a handful of fantastic failures in the world’s oldest desert led to a world record

We’re all faced with setbacks in our personal and professional lives. How do we overcome these and turn those lessons in to great successes? Jason Caldwell is a world-class athlete, a trainer in leadership and high-performance, and keynote speaker. In 2015 Jason went on to captain and represent the United States in a rowing race over 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean (Taliskerwhiskyatlanticchallenge.com). On January 19th 2017 Jason and his crew crossed the finish line once again, not only winning the race, but breaking the World Record as the fastest team to ever row across the Atlantic Ocean. During this show we are going to be discussing lessons from Jason’s latest adventure and second world record set this year while crossing the Namibian desert unassisted.  Join us this Friday to hear Jason’s amazing story, and how learning from your failures can help you to come back stronger and even more resilient than before!

In advance of my first ever public speaking gig, at a high profile event, I booked one to one coaching sessions with Chris Cooper.  They were invaluable.  Through working with Chris I learned so much in such a short space of time that I was able to pull together a well-structured and powerful PowerPoint presentation and deliver my talk with confidence.  It clearly paid dividends as I received some fabulous feedback.  This is a direct quote from one of the delegates:

“First time?!  Thought you created a clear, engaging and informative talk.  Have to say that, today, no other speakers I have seen have actually got the audience to interact with our own thoughts (rather than simply talking to us and asking rhetorical questions only) 😊 “

YAY!  Thank you Chris for your encouragement, support and for believing in me.  Sarah J Naylor
