Jodi Greve is like a lot of my interviewees in that a setback she experienced forced her to change her path. She was a gifted athlete who competed in college when an ACL injury sidelined her. She decided to stick with athletics and studied to be a trainer. After years doing training with top athletes, she felt the coaching bug and became a coach.
Spending time with elite athletes definitely affected her in a good way. She ended up setting her sights on climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, despite never having done anything like that! She decided to plan it, buy the airplane ticket, and just figure it out after.
As unorthodox as that was, it worked and she found herself on the mountaintop in Africa feeling like a failure because she was struggling and usually last in line, one of the slower climbers. Her guide had to remind her that there is no "#1 spot in climbing that just being there was winning.
Despite the climb being grueling and really difficult, she kept going and reached the summit. She had trained herself to go from "stop sign to stop sign" with her friend and she used the same approach on the mountain. She would focus on a rock ahead and just think about making it there. And then the next rock, and the next.
When she got back home, she realized she was repeating her story over and over for inquisitive friends, so she did a Facebook live. People loved it and encouraged her to consider being a speaker. Her lessons learned in her life and on that mountain makes her the perfect mindset speaker and coach.
She coaches people one one-on-one, speaks to business groups, athletes, and still does coach athletes in the summer. She wrote a book about her experiences called "Conquering Kilimanjaro "
