Sherry Winn Press Room – Coach Sherry Winn is an in-demand keynote speaker, a two-time Olympian, a national championship basketball coach, and an Amazon Best Seller. This pressroom details her latest works; please also see our press kit.
I’ve stood on the world’s biggest stages—as an Olympic athlete, a national championship-winning coach, and now a leadership consultant to Fortune 500 executives. And here’s what I’ve learned: talent might get you noticed, but mindset, self-awareness, and consistent coaching are what create transformational leaders.
I work with high achievers who are great at what they do—but know there’s more. More impact. More influence. More fulfillment. I help leaders confront the real stuff—impostor syndrome, toxic cultures, personal blind spots—and shift from controlling outcomes to empowering people. Because when you lead from the inside out, everything changes.
I’ll show you how to unlock your full potential, lead with conviction, and build teams that perform like champions—even under pressure.
Here’s what you’ll take away from this podcast:
Mindset—not talent—is what moves the needle.
Self-awareness is your leadership superpower.
Impostor syndrome is real—and beatable.
Empowerment always outperforms control.
Coaching only works when it’s consistent and intentional.

I’ve had the honor of being interviewed by Louie Sharp—international speaker, best-selling author, and powerhouse in accelerated business growth—on his transformative podcast Leadership & Love.
In this raw and real episode, we dive deep into the unspoken truths of leadership:
- The only difference between people living their dreams and those who aren’t? A decision—and the action to back it up.
- How self-love, self-awareness, and gratitude are the foundational pillars of great leadership.
- Why setting healthy boundaries isn’t a suggestion—it’s a necessity.
- And what it means to face a “life quake” every 12 to 16 months—and still lead powerfully through it.
I share my own story—from Olympic podiums to personal breakdowns—and how I turned pain into purpose. If you’re a leader who’s striving not just for success but significance, this episode is your wake-up call.
Listen now and ask yourself: Are you choosing your dreams… or your excuses?
