E70: The Long Win, Lessons through the Olympics, Life & Business with Cath Bishop

Cath Bishop unpacks her experience as a 3x Olympic rower, former diplomat, now a business coach and consultant to discover the true meaning of winning and author of ‘The Long Win: The search for a better way to succeed.’

 

Far too often, we are attached to the gold medal, of being first. Yet, what does this result actually achieve – especially if other elements are being ignored, such as employee retention, engagement and overall satisfaction.

In this conversation, Cath shares with us why she feels that a win:win mindset is the true measure of success, and how to cultivate this every day.
