What does ‘winning’ mean to you?

As a World Champion rower, three-time Olympian and Olympic silver medallist, Cath Bishop spent a decade embedded in a high-performance winning culture.

But when Cath transitioned from the world of elite sport into diplomacy, she expected to leave the will to win behind. Instead, she discovered that from classrooms to boardrooms, society is obsessed with winning,
And it’s an obsession that is holding us back.

We chase trophies, titles, and numbers, believing they define success. But as Cath points out in this episode, we see time and time again that a fleeting moment of glory leaves many feeling unfilled.

For Cath, it’s time to embrace a new definition of success, one that prioritises collaboration, long-term growth and real impact.
So tune in to hear:
[02:54] The importance of learning to adapt.
[08:25] Choosing to thrive in the freelance world.
[09:57] Finding your USP.
[12:15] How an obsession with winning can hold you back.
[15:42] How to think differently about winning.
[19:07] Have you said this?
If you’re curious about how you can redefine winning in your life, press play now. ▶️▶️▶️
