Authenica is thrilled to partner with Katie for her next adventure, Katie Climbs Kilimanjaro, that will be taking place this coming November. For the occasion, Authenica has worked with Katie to create a rich spectrum of employee engagement, corporate programming and brand activation opportunities for companies interested in aligning with Katie’s energy, commitment to cause and very powerful My Why story.
Her motivation to support those in need for what most of us take for granted daily.
Clean drinking water.
Corporate programs include keynotes and workshops that revolve around the topics of Doing Hard, Redefine Possible, Just Keep Rowing and Situational Fluency, Be What the Moment Requires.
Employee Engagement programs center on activating wellness challenges, inspiring My Why story creations and supporting Q&A sessions that dig deeper into Katie’s background and her step-by-step progressions that have led her to becoming one of the most notable endurance athletes in the world.
As for brand activation, the uniqueness of Katie’s personal brand stands alone. For motivated companies, a blank canvas mindset would lead to customized strategies that creatively leverage Katie’s energetic training rituals, commitment to personal health, performance capabilities and passion for all things clean water.
