By Donna De Luca and Nadine Lajoie
Former motorcycle racer, winner of 16 international entrepreneur awards and Montreal native, Nadine Lajoie, is travelling the world to speak and inspire (IN-Power as Nadine puts it) people to reach their dreams and achieve success and peak performance. Lajoie uses her leadership to bring together business and adrenaline at the racetrack, unifying bike riding and speaking industries with the racing community to step up to a new level of motivational speaking as her concept made its world premiere.
On August 18 &19 in Montreal, Quebec, Nadine Lajoie’s second “Racing to Success” breakthrough summit took place. The adrenaline was high, and the transformation that took place was beyond what I anticipated. The summit touched on a personal, professional, and spiritual level… A rare thing to experience at one event. Nadine Lajoie’s vision definitely came to life at 180 mph, holding try to her vision of bringing her concept to the racetrack.

Entrepreneurs, healers, international speakers, educational experts, coaches, teenagers, and people from all walks of life were ready to win the race to success when Nadine Lajoie began her summit. The roar of motorcycles on the track added to the high energy of the event.
Those brave enough to say “yes” to the tandem motorcycle ride at 180 mph experienced a new level of self-awareness. First, they faced fear then the realization that there is a great deal of risk to ride at speeds like that.
Nadine’s life experience as a racer shone through her program. For some, the dream of an adrenaline rush was fulfilled, but for most it was the ability to face their fears and break free of whatever limitations were holding them back that were addressed.
Donna agreed to share her own personal experience: Having worked with Nadine prior to the event, I knew her coaching techniques were very efficient, with results at 180mph! I was ready for a new race. In my personal life, I’d once again put my dreams on a shelf and was hiding from the person I was meant to be. I intended to break free from it all with Nadine’s help.
I learned so much about myself as I was getting ready to get on the bike. I wanted to break free from what was holding me back. I wanted to be very aware of what it was that was holding me back as awareness is first step to change. The minute I met the professional rider, I realized my trust issues surfaced.
I had to trust this stranger at 180 mph, regardless of that fact that he was a professional. He gave me guidelines for a successful ride. The dangers associated with the ride never once crossed my mind until we were on the track and I witnessed an accident.
Nadine teaches to stay focused on one corner at the time. How many times do we get distracted in a day? Distraction is an easy way to self-sabotage our success.
The rider also instructed that I go with the flow, and follow his rhythm and dance with the bike. Dance with the bike at 180 mph, how can that be possible? I realized at what point I wanted to be in control, and my whole body tensed with resistance. This was such a powerful awareness on how being present in the now and following life’s’ rhythm is so important in order to trust that we are always guided and supported.
As I let go, slowly, and trusted more I enjoyed the ride and was filled with a whole new level of awareness of where I am in my professional, personal, and spiritual life.
My Break-free Team crossed the finish line, and with it my fears were released: my fear of being seen andfear of standing in my own power, and mostly my fear of trusting. I embraced the experience of Racing to Success.
