In her 15-year career as a professional adventure racer, she has biked through jungles in Borneo, climbed Himalayan giants in Nepal, trekked across lava fields in Fiji, rafted rapids in Chile—and racked up multiple world championship titles along the way.

In her spare time, she is a firefighter and a sought-after keynote speaker on the subject of teamwork and leadership. In How Winning Works, Benincasa shows you how to climb to new levels of professional and personal success.

She shares the eight essential elements of teamwork, learned through her extreme adventure racing, that create synergy with all of the teammates in your life, from colleagues and customers to family members and friends: Total Commitment Empathy and Awareness Adversity Management Mutual Respect "We” Thinking Ownership of the Project Relinquishment of Ego Kinetic Leadership

This field guide to success shares the same training tools and exercises that have become wildly popular in the leadership seminars Benincasa gives to corporations such as Wal-Mart, Starbucks, Nestle, Boeing and many others. Stories from her adventure racing also illustrate how winning teams interact under the world’s most extreme conditions, from jungles to mountain peaks.
