What can we learn from the Arctic Tern?
Arctic Terns are one of the only birds aside from the Hummingbird that can hover. Arctic Terns don’t spend the whole route of their migration flying by flapping their wings – they glide a great amount of the distances, taking advantage of their unique hovering ability. Arctic Terns are so adept at this, they can sleep while gliding.

What can you do to work smarter?
The easiest route isn’t the shortest route
Arctic Terns don’t take straight routes from the North Pole to the South and back again. The birds follow a somewhat convoluted course in order to take advantage of prevailing winds, in some cases going to all seven continents!
They will seemingly detour long distances to find better feeding grounds or to avoid bad weather, taking advantage of their environment.
What route will take you to most easily to your destination?
- Its not your size, but the size of your ambition that matters.
- Its not your effort, but the impact of your effort that matters.
- Its not your route, but the ease of travel along your route that matters.
