Cycling was the easy part of the 124 Swiss Passes Challenge.

And I mean that seriously, because the project involved many aspects that were much more difficult to manage. Training is a clear component - you follow a training plan. But there were challenges for which there was no prescribed plan...

The journey really is the destination

An essential part of success in achieving a goal is ensuring that the journey is enjoyable. Especially with big, long-term goals, this plays a crucial role, because ultimately it's all part of your life.

What real teamwork is

Something I rarely share is that I took part in adventure racing between my volleyball and cycling careers.

This sport combines various disciplines, mainly mountain biking, running and kayaking as well as orienteering.

I was part of a team of four.

We waded in at 2am with our bikes on our backs....

Stay motivated when it's not

I have registered for the Aletsch half marathon in 2 weeks. 21 km and over 1000 m difference in altitude. A big challenge for me personally, which will push my limits.

Then she wanted to start something new.

She felt that she was not reaching her full potential in her role. She was 45 years old, married and had two children. In her entire career, she had only gained experience in this company.

Don't have time?

It's amazing how busy we are these days. I have friends with whom I have to "book" three weeks in advance to get an appointment for lunch or dinner.

But is it really due to a lack of time?

Don't wait for the perfect moment

One of my clients had just returned from a 2-week vacation in Iceland. He had gone there because he needed some distance from his daily routine.

He had already told me before the trip that he wasn't happy with his current situation,...
