In this today's blinking brilliant conversation, I talked to the wonder woman that is Olympic gold medalist Kate Richardson-Walsh, exploring her journey from a shy young athlete to a confident leader in women's hockey taking the team to Olympic gold. Kate shares her experiences of becoming a captain at a young age, the challenges she faced in leadership, and how she discovered her emotional intelligence as a super strength. We talk about the need for confidence in our abilities, how we do that and how keeping the receipts of the stuff we do well is key in building our self-worth and confidence. Kate Richardson-Walsh talks to me about self-doubt, mental resilience, and the impact of hormones. Kate shares her thoughts on the importance of support systems, personal growth, and the need for reflection and the definition of success beyond traditional achievements, highlighting the significance of being the best version of oneself to uplift others.
