January Program Meeting

HR is a Marathon

Categories: TAHRA Program Meeting

Presented by Matt Jones

Start the new year as a better leader! Join us in January as we present Matt Jones, cancer survivor, marathon runner and inspirational keynote speaker. "HR is a Marathon" will provide principles that leaders can use to empower, energize, and inspire themselves in order to do the same for those they lead. In a recent survey, 75% of respondents said their company is chronically short of leadership talent (War of Talent). At this program HR professionals will gain growth and development related to becoming more effective in addressing people management challenges as well as influence the effectiveness of the organization and employees they serve. This will occur through the personal leadership lessons learned by Matt going from being a three time conqueror to relearning how to walk to running marathons around the world. Matt is known for delivering presentations in an energetic style that moves audiences to achieve greater success. After hearing Matt speak, audiences members will walk away energized and with practical action steps they can apply immediately.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify three choices that lead to helping guide one's organization through adversity.
  • Know how to become solution orientated versus problem focused in order to overcome potential obstacles to successful implementation of strategies.
  • Learn important key factors to build engaging relationships throughout one's organization built upon trust, teamwork, and communication.

Matt Jones is known as the "Seven Continent Marathon Man." He went from being a three-time cancer conqueror to relearning how to walk, to going through a bone marrow transplant, to running six marathons on six continents and is now back in training for his seventh marathon in Antarctica. Matt was diagnosed with cancer on September 11, 2002. After spreading to the fluid in his brain doctors did not think he would live. After victoriously conquering cancer he was told that there has never been anybody go through what he went through and be alive one year later. Baseball Hall of Famer George Brett said, "Matt is a true champion and his story inspires others to be a true champion." From Matt's story you will be fired up, pumped up, and inspired to achieve greater victory in your life.
