In a culture that places a premium on external success metrics, a fixation on those metrics may very well be holding back individual lives and careers. In this session, we will explore how measuring ourselves by other people’s yardsticks limits our ability to perform at our best, no matter the venue. Drawn from real life lessons learned through Olympic training, this session will inspire you to challenge your assumptions about what success is and how it should be measured.
