Last week, I went to a horse event in Kentucky with my daughter and some of her friends and their moms in our horse community. And watching the athletes perform really struck a chord with me — while we aren’t necessarily “athletes” at work, we do possess commonalities with horseback riders, hockey players, football players, etc. 

Listen to the full episode to witness 3 things I’ve learned from observing athletes and how these coaching and feedback elements can be applied in the workplace, helping us enhance our talent and performance.
