Olympic Resilience: How Elite Leaders Rise, Refocus, and Win Under Pressure

What do world-class athletes and high-performing executives have in common? Pressure. And how they respond defines whether they collapse… or conquer.

In this transformational keynote, Sherry Winn—two-time Olympian and national championship coach—pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to develop unshakable resilience in leadership. You’ll discover how to harness challenges as fuel, shift from reactive to relentless, and build a culture that thrives—even in chaos.

Using raw personal stories, Olympic-level strategies, and battle-tested insights from coaching elite leaders, Sherry will help you uncover your inner drive to rise above setbacks, refocus fast, and lead with courage.
