Sustaining High Performance - Monika Sattler - Chief Endurance Officer with Greg McDonough - Episode #166

What does it take to keep moving forward through uncertainty, pressure, and challenge?

In this episode of Chief Endurance Officer, Greg McDonough sits down with Monika Sattler, CEO of Sattler Consulting GmbH, endurance athlete, keynote speaker, author, and cycling record holder. Monika shares how her experiences in both business and endurance sports have shaped her approach to high performance, resilience, and personal growth.

From setting cycling records across Switzerland to helping leaders navigate change, Monika discusses the importance of systems, consistency, and stepping outside your comfort zone. She also shares insights on redefining success, building sustainable performance habits, and why growth often happens when we stop waiting for motivation and simply commit to the process.

Takeaways:

  • Creating systems and routines can be more effective than relying on motivation alone.

  • Consistency comes from building habits that become automatic rather than constantly negotiating with yourself.

  • Endurance sports can reveal how much deeper you can go when faced with adversity and discomfort.

  • High performance requires learning how to continue through uncertainty, pressure, and change.

  • Success is highly personal and should be defined by what genuinely matters to the individual.

  • Stepping outside your comfort zone creates opportunities for growth and learning.

  • Strength training can play an important role in supporting endurance performance.

Quote of the Show:

  • “It’s not about higher, faster. It’s more about actually bringing the community together.” - Monika Sattler
