Max & Penny are very excited to have been chosen (accepted) for the 4th time to represent Canada. People wonder and question how we prepare for such a long (distance and time), diverse race and how to enjoy such a cruel adventure.
With our presentations we will lead participants through an educational, hands-on and highly humorous ride, that will re-focus, re-energize and re-invent how ones sees life and work.
The preparation for this race and the race itself involves the same principles and tactics any company/team would use to be successful.
Such as :
  • The combination of risk management, strategy and value added goal setting.
  • Dealing with stress and to know when and how to relax and refuel.
  • Working as a team to strive for reliability, excellence engagement, empowerment and leadership.
  • Plan, prepare, strategize, influence and network to achieve your goals.
  • Nutrition, how it changes moods and attitudes!
  • Attitude and integrity are fundamental for any long term success.
We offer inspirational- and motivational presentations and customized workshops, combined with Randy Parkin (www.keyinc.com). Randy has 30 years experience in corporate leadership training and together we will customize a package for your company/team specific needs.    

Please feel free to contact us at fly@flyingMax.com with any questions in how we can create a keynote presentation and/or workshop for your group.
