Sébastien Sasseville climbed Mt Everest, completed the mythical Sahara race and multiple Ironman races. In 2014, he faced the biggest challenge of his life, running across Canada, a journey equivalent to running 180 marathons in 9 months.

To deliver performance and stay relevant in rapidly changing environments, we must take a first step, fight unintentional complacency and focus on learning.

Sébastien Sasseville occupied diverse sales roles in Fortune 1000 enterprises. Today, he inspires larges organizations to take a first step, to act and to align their behaviours, actions and mindset with their goals.

When the pace of change is increasing, the cost of not trying is always greater than the cost of imperfection. Taking a first step isn’t an event, it is a mindset. On the starting line, we often must accept that we don’t have all the answers and understand that it is the journey that will provide the answers.

Sebastien Sasseville isn’t a gifted athlete. He openly admits he was chosen last in the sports team throughout is entire childhood. How did he get to the top of Mt Everest? He changed the story he was telling himself and took a first step. The narrative we share in large organizations is called our culture. Culture is the immune system of the organizations, it protects it during disruptions.

Also diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, Sébastien Sasseville faced tremendous adversity before reaching the top. Sébastien’s credibility, because he embodies action and determination, not just words, persuades individuals to believe they also can achieve the improbable and inspires his audiences to take a first step.

The summit is not a goal, it is an outcome. When we build agile and safe cultures where the goal is to learn, we deliver more performance and we reach the top consequently. Like an athlete, successful organization focus on growth habits.

Our businesses need resiliency to deliver peak performance in changing environments. Resilience is found in purpose, not in training. We must take each step forward in alignment with the mission, and geared toward impact.  When we always serve the mission and the organization first, we obtain the wisdom to do what is right and we find the resilience to overcome all obstacles.

Once we have taken a first step, consistency is king. Small, but consistent actions, actions that are 100% aligned with the goal, every single day. This is simple, but not easy, and not sexy. But this is how Sébastien got to the top of Everest and ran 180 marathons in 9 months. It is amazing how far we can go when we do a little bit every day.
