Building Unstoppable Teams - Business Lessons Inspired by the World’s Toughest Cycling Race

Sébastien Sasseville, Gabriel Renaud

Casa editrice: ECW Press

Sinossi

Today’s business leaders are always on the lookout for the information and tools to help them build high-performing teams, to lead with purpose, to remain engaged and to win the long game. Authors Sébastien Sasseville and Gabriel Renaud masterfully transform the lessons learned in the mind-blowing Race Across America into concrete, actionable and relatable business insights.
		 
When Sébastien Sasseville, an athlete with type 1 diabetes, decided to take part in the Race Across America solo, he knew he was embarking on the most difficult ultra-cycling race in the world. What he didn’t realize was that this experience, and the work needed to be done ahead of it, would inform his thinking around a team-building model that had application beyond sports and deep into workplaces and boardrooms.
		 
This crossing of the United States from west to east, in a time trial of no more than 12 days, forces the riders to stay in the saddle for about 21 hours a day. The challenge is impossible to accomplish without an exceptional team that follows and supports the cyclist night and day.
		 
Together, Sébastien and co-author Gabriel Renaud, a high-performance athlete, corporate trainer and leader of the race team, have taken the model they used to build the Race Across America team and written Building Unstoppable Teams, a tool kit for building highly engaged teams that can accomplish the exceptional.

Spiraling Upward - The 5...

Wendy Wallbridge

Full of insights, exercises, and over thirty relatable stories, Spiraling Upward has transformed countless women’s lives and won a Nautilus Gold and Silver Award. This expanded New Edition includes a new chapter, “Spiral Up for Dudes”, to show men how they can ally with women to Spiral Up.
Women are in the majority of the college-educated talent pool and are increasingly represented in positions of leadership in business and society. Why then are women withdrawing from top-tier positions in unprecedented numbers? The linear, unyielding, single-minded approach to success forged by men will never lead women and non-binary people to the heart of fulfillment. We are not designed for the straight and narrow path. In Spiraling Upward, Wendy Wallbridge offers a step-by-step roadmap for professionals to unlock their power and achieve success on their own terms.
The Spiral Up method teaches women in the workplace to cultivate the five co-creative powers—Energy, Thoughts, Feelings, Speech, and Action. These fundamentals of self-creation help female-identified leaders redefine success, become positive change agents, and re-author their lives.
