Laura Siddall - Who's on your team?

What does it look like to build a team that you really trust? And how do you do that when you can't possibly know everything, and you have to lead from a place of humility? We speak to iron distance triathlete Laura Siddall about the importance of building a team that can help you achieve to your best.

Laura is a professional iron distance triathlete, but came to triathlon later than most, at an age when most professional athletes are retiring and has drawn her learnings from stints in the corporate world, and a year in the British army. She's been able to take learnings from those previous life stages and apply and combine them to form a team around her that resulted in her placing in the top 10 in two consecutive Ironman World Championships. She's immensely passionate about women in sport, and we speak to her about what it was like for her growing up with sport as just a hobby and how that can be different now for young women considering a career in sport.

Go Do:

Our go do this week is to go and think about who you need on your team, whether that's just the people around you in your personal life, or perhaps it's a work, school or sports team. We have three categories of people to think about: Supporters, Sharpeners, and Sharers. We've put a worksheet together to help you! Check out the show notes on our website to download it, and take time to fill it in. This will show you where you might have gaps in your team - so if you do have gaps, then have a think about who could fill those, and where you might go to find them.

We'd love to see how you get on! So send us a pic of your completed sheets, you can drop us a DM or tag us on instagram or linkedin, or send us an email: hello@runalive.co.uk
