Drawing from the endurance mindset and skills required to survive 140.6-mile Ironman races, Will teaches leaders how to replicate elite endurance athletic principles into practical leadership strategies that elevate execution and sustain momentum—especially in uncertain markets.
 
Strategy and tools matter—but the organizations that will thrive now are the ones whose teams are truly ALL-IN in every way.
