About This Episode:

Hiring for a high growth tech company, I would have loved a CV like Hilary Caldwell, OLY land on my desk 💥 📄

👇 Here’s why 👇

💫 She dares to dream big …. From being inspired by the Sydney Olympics as a 9 year old to being a Rio Olympian.

⏳ She’s patient & self assured …. From being “nothing incredible” & a “long slow burn” to making the podium in the 200m backstroke at Rio ’16.

🏭 She trusts the process …. Quick wins are nice, but big dreams require long terms plans and commitments.

🤝 She really knows the value of ‘team’ ….. In tasks & instructions, but more importantly in belief, reassurance & unconditional support of those around her.

💭 She invests in herself …. speaking incredibly highly of the The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth Next Step programme for elite athletes and military personnel.

📢 “The harder you hustle, the more likely you are to succeed”

THANK YOU, Hilary Caldwell, OLY for sharing your time & your sporting transition away from elite swimming into a career in sales 🧡
