Alexandra Panayotou  

Alexandra Panayotou is an outstanding ultra endurance athlete, and is an example that it’s never too late to start something new.

She began running at the age of 30, and within four years of self-training had reached championship level. In 2004, she came 2nd in the Barcelona Marathon and 4th in the Greek championships. After winning most of her races, she turned to ultra endurance running, specialising in solo challenges that are always undertaken for either a sporting or other charitable cause.

Alex has achieved every single one of her solo challenges, and has never abandoned a challenge or a race, showing that her capacity to overcome obstacles and her mental strength are highly developed. In addition to being a leading athlete in her uniquely challenging field, Alexandra has a strong academic background having studied psychology and philosophy, receiving an honours degree.

She is an accomplished motivational speaker, author and columnist, and a successful businesswoman as owner of a sports management and events organising company.

During her ongoing career as an athlete, Alex has developed a strong base of principles, values, and tools for overcoming obstacles and achieving her goals. Her philosophy of Personal Excellence forms the foundation of all she does.

Alex is a natural speaker. She has the ability to transmit her ideas, tools, and philosophies in a clear and concise way, and at the same time inspires and motivates the audience. Her methods for success are easily applicable to all areas of life - business, personal, and leisure. Her executive programs not only deal with the development of executives as individuals and leaders, but also hold key secrets to the motivation and development of teams and personnel. They focus on the overcoming of obstacles, the strategy, timing and logistics necessary to reach ones goals and later continue with resilience for long-term success.
