Inspirational People
So have you been left completely inspired by The Olympics? 2 weeks of incredible drama, human endeavour and remarkable individual achievements. And now we have the quite amazing and provoking Paralymics. Between them, the most moving and humbling moments mixed in with the grand spectacle of it all.
One great event which reminds us why sport at its finest can really inspire our lives. I'd love to build the Olympic Ethos as expressed so powerfully at London 2012 into our company and the way we perform as individuals and a unit. The wonderful affirming team ethos as expressed by Team GB throughout - no individual was greater than this. To have a dream and care so much over such a long lead up period just to deliver that one final brilliant performance. The pure and uncontrollable outpour of emotion at the moment of success and realisation of a dream achieved (I'm thinking in particular of Alexis Sanchez), and the humility and grace at the end of an incredible feat – Mo Farah.
The stories of personal endurance, gruelling day to day routines, pain, tragedy, overcoming adversity. Coming to terms with defeat on the day. Pride, determination, total conviction and belief. The ability to do amazing things which leave us in awe.
For some the dream was to be the very best. For others it was PB – to deliver a personal best performance. Now that's something our whole team here can strive to achieve, every day and on every project. I'm a great believer in the human spirit and the capacity of every unique individual to surprise and excel, and I'm a great believer in the great team of individuals we have here. Can we all be everyday Heroes? Olympians? Now wouldn't that be a wonderful legacy?
