Businesses and YPO Forums now have an out-of-the-box option to replace the "typical" team-building event or retreat - a customized Corporate Triathlon Experience.
The event will not only delight your employees and forum members, but challenge them, reward them, and improve their level of fitness. And, best of all, it's an event that requires no booking or planning on the part of the business or forum, and it includes some of the world's best known endurance athletes.
First Steps: CEO Challenges brings in a team of experts a few months before the triathlon to encourage, guide, support, and motivate the business' employees and forum members and to sign them up to take on the challenge of a ‘leg' of a sprint distance triathlon. Also, at the kick off meeting will be an athlete from the Challenged Athletes Foundation. (It will be very hard for employees to think they can't ‘do it' when they hear the inspirational stories about how people with only one arm, or one leg, or no legs, confronted their fears and finished a triathlon).
At the kick-off, each employee can decide to swim a 1/2 mile, bike 12 miles, or run/walk 3 miles, and join with others on a Company / Forum relay team. Or, for those who are already fit and want the extra challenge, they may elect to 'go solo' and do the full triathlon (note, all 10 members of the YPO Winnipeg Forum group recently completed the LA Sprint Triathlon).
Next Step: CEO Challenges' team of world champions and experts in motivation will help the business / forum pick a race location, help employees with confusing equipment choices (i.e., wetsuits, skinsuits, bike, pedals, aero bars, hydration systems, running shoes, etc). Plus, employees are provided with an easy to follow training program to get them started on their journey (the option is available for customized personal coaching). The event location can be a destination location or one close to the business.
Then: CEO Challenges keeps in touch with employees on a regular basis to make sure they are on track and answer any questions they may have.
The Triathlon: CEO Challenges meets with the company / forum on race weekend to help them with final preparations, to make sure the equipment is ready to go, and to make sure employees have everything they need to perform.
"Your employees will experience a program that they will never, ever forget," said Ted Kennedy of CEO Challenges. "While preparing for the event they will naturally increase their level of fitness, look leaner, and notice a marked increase in energy. They will accomplish a goal many of them never dreamed of, and one that they will remember forever".
CEO Challenges Team:
- Simon Lessing -- five-time world triathlon champion, world record holder for the Olympic distance triathlon.
- Lynn Kanuka, Olympic 3000m bronze medalist.
- Ted Kennedy, President of CEO Challenges.
The Corporate / YPO Triathlon Experience is designed to be the center-piece of a fantastic company or YPO Forum retreat that will result in an intense bonding session, an incredible feeling of accomplishment, and increase in the level of fitness for employees / members.
