About

Going the distance is tailored to each organisation so that it is best suited to the challenges and opportunities that it faces. It focuses on maximising personal performance, health and wellbeing through making informed personal choices.

Going the Distance helps individuals to explore how:                  

  • They can better understand themselves to ensure they have the very best possible chance of achieving their potential in all parts of their lives.
  • It also gives each individual the opportunity to understand how their daily choices significantly affect their health and wellbeing.

The program specifically looks at:

  • The challenges we face on a daily basis
  • How we deal with pressure and manage stress
  • Thought patterns that can help or hinder our performance
  • What motivates us. Alignment with self
  • The importance of nutrition, activity and sleep. Being at your best
  • Creating new habits
  • Effective goal setting

"The workshop had a true impact in the formation of our global Sales and Marketing team. The clarity of concepts and tools being used were remarkably simple and effective. No endless theoretical slides, but hands on group and individual work facilitated by very passionate and professional consultants. It will make us Go the Distance and I recommend you to try it yourself!” - Dennis Van Schie, Head of Global Sales, Sony Mobile

"The day was very, very inspiring. We were able to make a real difference to our community partner: SMart, by delivering some really tangible benefits - including sourcing and mentoring admin support, developing a business plan to attract the right calibre of trustees and helping them to source office and gallery/storage space... It was a day of truly appreciating and celebrating life.”

"18 months into the graduate leadership development programme, and I can truly say it has been such a great experience. The activities we have undertaken have ranged from learning presentation skills, understanding your impact in a team, to having a lot of fun along the way with challenging activities, such as white water rafting and rock climbing. The external training we are fortunate enough to receive, as well as on-the-job training has helped me to build on my career."
Kieran Simpson
Head of Public Affairs
Scottish & Newcastle
"The assignment has been so successful for both organisations that they are building upon the work already achieved for a sustainable, ongoing partnership for the future. The partnership with Turning Point is an important element of Scottish & Newcastle's approach to responsible drinking. This project provided an opportunity to practise the skills learnt in the workshops and has enabled our graduates to learn the realities and practicalities of working as a team."
