Running and Leadership:

Some of you will know I am currently in training for my first triathlon!! In true Lisa style this new project involves as much learning as I can manage. One of the books I am really struck with is called "ChiRunning".

"ChiRunning" describes itself as a "revolutionary approach to effortless, injury-free running" and combines the knowledge of a very successful ultramarathon runner and the ancient wisdom of a t¹ai chi master and so far much of it lends itself beautifully to the art of leadership.

So, I have decided to make it the first topic of our new "Book of the Month Club". In this virtual Book Club we will recommend a book each month and then blog about our thoughts on it and invite you to do the same thing. If it ignites people¹s attention enough, then maybe we will offer a teleforum session on some or all of the books.

"ChiRunning" offers a lot of food for thought on general wellbeing, running (of course) and also on personal development. And as I say, I believe it applies beautifully to leadership so something for everyone in it. I will post on this blog my thoughts as I go along and you are cordially invited to read along and share thoughts on the book or just read the blog entries and I hope you will get a lot from that too!

So, the link to the book is in the left hand column if you fancy grabbing a copy (it is an associate link to Amazon and all proceeds go to Cancer Research charities).
