What if the leadership skill your team needs most from you right now isn't decisiveness, strategy, or vision — it's the ability to stop talking and truly listen? In this episode of Olympic Minds: Leadership Beyond Limits, we tackle the hard truth about what separates leaders who build great teams from leaders who simply manage them.
Host Sherry Winn, two-time Olympian, national championship basketball coach, and CEO of the Winning Leadership Company, sits down with Rachel Rogers — Salesforce MVP Hall of Famer and Principal Business Strategy lead at Northwell Health — a leader who has spent her career designing people-first organizations in the middle of rapid technological change. Rachel brings refreshing honesty about work-life integration, the real opportunity hidden inside AI disruption, and the listening-first coaching approach that has helped her develop some of the most effective teams in her industry.
In this episode you will learn:
Why work-life balance is a myth — and the integration mindset that actually allows high performers to show up fully at work and at home
How the most effective leaders use AI as a leveling-up tool for their people rather than a replacement threat
Why the single greatest coaching skill you can develop as an executive is learning to stop talking and listen with intention
Whether you're leading a team of three or three hundred, this episode will give you a practical framework for showing up more intentionally — at work, at home, and everywhere in between. Tune in, subscribe, and share this with the leader in your network who needs to hear that slowing down is not falling behind.
