One Step At A Time to Ikigai with Jane Hansom

Do your passions and talents balance perfectly with what the world needs and is prepared to pay for?

My guest and good friend Jane Hansom epitomises this state of balance beautifully as summarised in the Japanese concept of Ikigai.

So how do you make this happen for you or is this just an unreachable dream? 

In this interview, we will look at how one step at a time Jane’s life and career in London as a busy marketeer became entwined with a passion for long distance triathlon. Nudged reluctantly into entering the London marathon at age 40, over the next 10 years Jane became a world name on the Ironman and Triathlon stage both as an elite competitor and as a business leader.

Today, Jane not only sits on the board of the Triathlon Industry Association and The Professional Triathletes Organisation advising government sporting bodies and developing triathlon into a major global sporting series she also now lives in one of the most stunning locations in the world.

Join us and consider how you might transition your life into this beautiful state of Ikigai – one step at a time.

‘I am more than pleased to share my experience of the TEP programme. For me it has been an invaluable part of my own learning and development for several reasons. The books that we have studied have always resonated with the place that I have been at that time. To study a book with a group of like minded individuals, all professional and all keen to develop themselves and others has made me read with a depth that I would normally not use. The result being a richness of understanding that I can apply and want to apply, into my business immediately The guests that you have invited to to talk about their journeys have left their own gift with me – one of them being a depth and breadth of stories to illustrate points on my own programmes. And finally, for me the sense of not being alone, in my loft, in pursuit of my own personal success, but being able to feedback and to celebrate successes together. This is a fantastic community to belong and a commitment to my own personal success and to that of others. Thank you Chris for having and holding the vision’ Carroll Macey, Managing Director CM2C Change Management Consultancy (Nottinghamshire) http://www.cm2c.com.
