Stepnell are Awesome - It’s Official

#A2A Stepnell before their London Challenge
Our Average2Awesome Programme is now in its eighth generation and has once again proved its worth with its latest set of candidates from Stepnell Ltd, a building and construction company whose head office is in Rugby.

I met Joint Managing Director, Tom Wakeford, whilst running the 2017 Marathon des Sables. We ran the marathon stage together and shared our thoughts on business, health and well-being in the workplace, staff development and the process of adapting to change.

Stepnell is a company in the process of change, so Tom decided to test out our A2A Programme on 12 members of staff based in and around their Rugby office. Following an inspirational talk in June, 12 candidates were chosen from across the business, none of whom were dedicated keep-fit fanatics or marathon runners. They were just people keen to see if they could achieve more with their time and gain from being coached by someone from outside the business in an area where their comfort-zone would be severely tested.

Since the talk they have attended a number of sessions - at the gym learning the most efficient way to train, at a running store getting fitted properly for training shoes and up and down a hill being pushed in an interval training session. In three months they have clocked a cumulative total of six million steps and lost over 80kg. They have vowed to continue with their new daily fitness routine and insure a return on the investment the business has made putting them through the A2A Programme.


The visual difference is clear to see and we are planning some continued evaluation over the next few months to see the fruition of the 'Anything is Possible' approach we've projected into the group these past few months.


We've learned a lot too, and as we head into the ninth generation of A2A, this time with Stepnell's Poole office, we will again be searching for 12 people who want to be more dynamic in the workplace and lead a healthier, happier and more rewarding life both in and out of work.

Average2Awesome does all of that and more, and based on the feedback we've received again this time around our A2A Programme is going from strength to strength. It might work for you and your team at the company where you work too, so please drop me an email so we can evaluate your needs and make you Awesome.
