Winning when it’s impossible
Olympian, former diplomat and business coach, Cath Bishop, believes that we have come to define winning too narrowly - as a moment in time crossing the line, winning a medal, and at a level set by others rather than ourselves. That 'win at all costs' mentality has seen 'the costs' rise to unacceptable levels. Winning has lost meaning, even for those who win, we have gold medallists who feel empty, unfulfilled, even depressed. We need to redefine winning in a way that helps us to explore our potential better and thrive over the long-term, to ensure that crossing the line first or last is connected to something of lasting value.
