Mina Guli: Purpose in Motion - Using Momentum to Lead with Intention | EDGE 2026
Future Ready Leadership

3m 22s
At EDGE 2026 in Sydney, Mina Guli delivers a powerful reflection on courage, purpose and execution in leadership. Drawing on her journey running extreme distances to spotlight the global water crisis, she reframes endurance not as athleticism but as a metaphor for decision-making under pressure.
Through personal failure, recovery and large-scale mobilization, Guli introduces a framework linking purpose, action, cost, ecosystem and runway. Her central argument is clear: goals may break, but purpose does not. In an era defined by climate stress, supply chain fragility and systemic risk, leaders must choose up rather than freeze, using purpose as the engine and courage as the operating system for action.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
• Courage is not a personality trait but a behavior driven by purpose
• Attention is the currency of change in complex global systems
• Purpose sustains action beyond fear, fatigue and temporary failure
