If you want someone calm and collected under pressure in your team, then look no further than an Olympic shooter.
My guest this week is Jamie Corkish, gold medallist at London 2012 in the Women’s 50-metre rifle three positions.
Shooting was a sport I knew very little about, so it was a privilege to learn from Jamie, and to hear how the psychology of elite sport has carried through into her current role as Sales Manager at Intuit.
We explored:
🎯 Competing with a target the size of an American dime.
🧘 Learning to stay cool under pressure.
💡 The importance of mindset in winning London 2012 and in her professional career.
😬 Why retiring from sport was such a daunting time, full of uncertainty.
💼 How the parallels between sport and business have made sales a natural fit.
🤔 Challenging the assumption that athletes are automatically “entitled.”
And much more.
