From Hero to Zero to Human: How to Come Back From Your Biggest Mistakes

How do you come back from your biggest mistakes? When confronted with losing everything, some people give up—while others use those setbacks as inspiration to reach new goals. In cycling, Lance Armstrong was the “comeback king” when he overcame testicular cancer to win the Tour de France seven times. In the process, he became one of the most well-known athletes in the world. However, his biggest comeback was not athletic but personal when he came back from the doping scandal that stripped him of his Tour de France titles. After going from hero to zero, he worked hard to take responsibility for his mistakes, learn from them, and rise again with his new podcasts and organization WEDŪ. In this revealing talk, Lance tells stories from his career and shares what it takes to come back from your mistakes. Audiences will learn that you need to be honest, vulnerable, and stay positive in order to come back even stronger than before.

Winning at All Costs is Not True Leadership

The key to leading a team is honesty. While Lance was doing all the right things to win as a team —working hard, good tactics, and great teammates—he was doing the worst thing you can do as a leader: lying. He lied to himself, his team, and his supporters. His win-at-all-costs mentality eventually lost him his cycling titles and resulted in his banishment from the sport. He learned how the decisions you make as a leader can have an impact on everyone—from your team to your fans to your family. In this brutally honest talk, Lance shares what he learned about himself, winning, and leadership as he had to confront his wrongdoing. Audiences will come away with what it takes to lead and work as a team: communication, persistence, and most of all honesty.

Corporate Athlete

How do you become—and stay—resilient in your body and mind? Lance Armstrong became one of the best-known athletes in the world for his hard work and mental strength as a cyclist. He learned from the best coaches and athletes how to stay healthy and mentally strong. While today Lance no longer competes and is just happy to finish a race, he still practices what he learned as a professional athlete to stay fit. In this candid talk by Lance, audiences will come away with world-class coaching on how to train effectively, improve their health, stay mentally strong, and maintain their fitness throughout life.

Fireside Chat

In those no-holds-barred, no questions are off-limits fireside chat, Lance Armstrong will answer anything audiences want to know about his entire career. Interviewers can go deep on any topic. You can learn how Lance overcame cancer, his time as a professional cyclist, his experience with the Livestrong charity, his banishment from the sport, and his new activities as podcast host of The Move and The Forward or his Next Ventures investing.
