Lee reflects on his recent completion of the London Marathon and shares five key things that helped him achieve this milestone. Lee draws parallels between these lessons from his marathon experience and their applicability in business settings, emphasising the significance of proper fuelling, being in the moment, perseverance, support, and training to achieve success.

BEST MOMENTS

"I had a dream the night before the marathon, in the dream, I didn't complete the marathon. I just couldn't get to that distance. I couldn't do it." 

"I really did enjoy running 26 miles in front of all those people. It was just an enjoyable experience because I was in the moment." 

"Nobody comes to work to do a bad job, but are we helping them do the best job they can? And to do that, they need to fuel their brain and their body properly." 

"What can we do to keep moving forward? Sometimes moving forward, I mean, suggests that if something's not working, we need to keep doing it." 

"What can you do to ensure and encourage everybody that you're working with is fully trained and is able to do the job that they need to do every single day."
