The seminar discusses many of the very trying issues confronting a swimmer during a marathon event like the English Channel. Anthony then draws many parallels to everyday life from these lessons as well as business lessons and issues.

The English Channel is the marquee event for marathon swimmers, like Mt. Everest is to mountain climbers. The lessons learned during the training and completion of these events teach us all something significant about ourselves.

By attending this sesson, you'll learn:
What are the major issues confronting a marathon swimmer and how does that relate to everyday life
How does coping with failure make us stronger
Why failure need not be a permanent condition and how it improves us all
What are the specific business lessons that can be developed from such an undertaking
We all have dreams – how do we condition ourselves to achieve those dreams

Anthony McCarley's Bio
A boyhood dream to swim the English Channel has become a metaphor in life, as well as in business for Anthony McCarley. Twenty years of working as a senior executive at multiple global corporations led Anthony to dream big and, in turn, to take a huge risk by leaving the corporate world behind to focus on successful startups.

While working on his first startup, Anthony trained for and completed the Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming (The English Channel crossing, circumnavigating Manhattan, and crossing the Catalina Channel in California). He did all three in less than one year. Preparing for, and accomplishing this dream, Anthony crystallized 35 years of business experience into transferable knowledge. He realized there are many common elements inherent to the process of preparing for and competing as a marathon swimmer and the process of preparing for and competing as a successful business executive.
Anthony has shared his inspirational story to groups ranging from high school students to Global 500 C-level professionals and demonstrates how his experience translates into real-life issues that his audiences face.
