Did Not Finish- Wanjiru Mureithi

What do Wanjiru and Eliud Kipchoge have in common? Well, many of us have experienced the agony of working so hard for something and then losing it on the final stretch. Many of us have zealously started things but failed to finish. How did that make you feel? Sometimes we forget that success doesn’t happen overnight. You might fail multiple times before you achieve greatness and that is exactly what Wanjiru Mureithi and Eliud Kipchoge have in common. In this talk, she shares her experience of coming so close and yet being so far. #Engage31 #EliudKipchoge #Curveballs #comrades #marathon

    I loved your talk Winejiru! My take-home - Run my race, stick to my lane - be true to myself. Being authentically and shamelessly me. Well done!

    Engage is about people telling their stories... Did she tell her story well? Yes ... Those that keep saying nice, but nervous....and then?

    I took this home "Don't reduce the whole meaning of life into some certain events that happen in your life" Hey Engage Talk do you have Swahili Talks ?I think they could also make the show amazing.

    Hi Tom. Great takeaway from Wanjiru's talk. Unfortunately we do not have any talks in Kiswahili.
