Consistency Wins: Leadership Lessons from a Half Ironman

Consistency Wins: Leadership Lessons from a Half Ironman



What can training for a half Ironman teach us about leadership and productivity at work? In this episode of the Get Organized at Work Podcast, host Kayla Fahey-Ahrndt shares the story of her husband’s 70.3 triathlon journey, where he shaved 23 minutes off his time, ran a faster half marathon, and finished strong in his age group. The key wasn’t the perfect plan—it was consistency. Kayla unpacks lessons from hiring a coach, showing up day after day, and learning that the right tools (like a time trial bike) only matter once you’ve built a foundation. You’ll discover how consistency sharpens performance, why mentorship accelerates growth, and how to stop over-refining plans at work. If you’re ready to improve workplace consistency, leadership habits, and productivity systems, this episode will inspire you to trade perfection for progress.
