The Endurance Mindset | Susanne Mueller on Leadership, Discipline & Showing Up

The Endurance Mindset | Susanne Mueller on Leadership, Discipline & Showing Up

What can marathon training teach us about leadership, resilience, and personal growth?

In this episode of I’ll Start on Monday, I speak with Susanne Mueller, executive coach, leadership expert, and endurance athlete who has completed multiple marathons and an Ironman competition.

Susanne shares how the discipline and mindset required in endurance sports directly translate into leadership, coaching, and navigating life’s challenges.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Why showing up consistently matters more than motivation
• The leadership lessons learned from marathon and Ironman training
• How small mindset shifts (“I have to” vs “I get to”) can change everything
• Why curiosity and creativity fuel personal growth
• How coaching helps people uncover their hidden potential
• Why goals are essential to overcoming procrastination

Susanne’s perspective reminds us that transformation rarely happens overnight. Just like endurance training, personal growth happens through consistent effort, discipline, and the courage to keep showing up.

If you’ve ever struggled with procrastination, self-doubt, or staying committed to your goals, this episode will inspire you to keep moving forward.

Because real change doesn’t begin on Monday.

It begins the moment you decide to show up for yourself.
