From 1999 to 2005 one person, surrounded by a team of 8 incredibly talented and committed athletes, dominated the world’s toughest cycling event. For 7 years Lance Armstrong was undefeated over an ever changing 3 500km route around the French countryside.
Six years of agony, ecstasy, pain and elation form the basis of this 60-90 minute presentation. We explore the attributes of success that took the youngest ever World Road Race Champion through a desperate fight with Testicular Cancer to 7 consecutive victories in the Tour de France. Lance Armstrong has had to employ strategies in Leadership, Teamwork, Communication, Problem-solving, Marketing, Dealing with Disasters, Planning, Training, Discipline and Success. We look carefully at how Lance has successfully dealt with these challenges – the same ones we face in our own busy corporate existence.
Here’s what it’s all about: When Lance Armstrong was diagnosed with Cancer in October 1996, his cycling career was doomed. With less than a 20% chance of surviving the cancer which riddled his testicle, lungs and brain, Lance did it. He beat the odds but in 1997 when he wanted to return to professional cycling, he found no team would sign him. He convinced Thomas Wiesel to invest $8 million along with the US Postal Service to start a new team. Prior to Lance’s cancer in 1996, he had started the Tour de France, but only finished once!
In 1999 Lance and his new team lined up at the start of the Tour de France – and Lance won. Seven years on, he’s still to lose it, and set an unbelievable record in the process. No other person has ever won 7 Tours. Lance won his first Tour in 1999 in the fastest average speed ever! Since then he has never lost it! In 2005 he became the oldest Tour champion at age 34 and then retired undefeated! Only to come out of retirement now, in 2009, in order to race again, create publicity for his Livestrong cancer campaigns - and to possibly win an 8th Tour de France!!
