What If motivation is the problem? | Robyn Godfrey | TEDxAirlie

À propos de cette vidéo

What if motivation is the very thing holding you back? Drawing from her journey from burnout to completing all six World Marathon Majors, Robyn Godfrey challenges the belief that success begins with inspiration. Instead, she reveals how small actions shape identity, build self-trust, and create lasting change. Robyn Godfrey is an RRCA-certified running coach and author of Running the World, a memoir chronicling her journey from self-doubt to completing all six World Marathon Majors. After two decades in high-pressure sales and technical fields, she left corporate America to pursue a meaningful path as a writer, coach, and speaker. A member of the Wilmington Road Runners, Robyn began running at 47 with just 30 seconds on a treadmill—a moment that sparked a global journey across the world’s most iconic finish lines. Along the way, she faced her husband’s battle with stage 4 cancer, injuries, COVID-19 isolation, and natural disasters, yet continued moving forward one step at a time. She now helps others achieve their goals and transform their lives, teaching that even the smallest step can create unstoppable momentum and extraordinary change.
