🔥 Quotable Moment: “If you are living and breathing on this earth, you’ve got a mind and access to a champion mindset. It’s not a question if you have it or not. It’s whether you’re willing to go there and make it a champion mindset.” 

In this episode of Everyday Leadership, I am joined by Marilyn Okoro, Olympian, Higher Education and Local Government account Lead at Equinix, Public Speaker, Life Coach and Mentor. 

It’s not every day I get to sit down with an Olympian, so we take a deep dive into Marilyn’s athletic career, the importance of embracing failure and what it takes to build a champion mindset. 

Marilyn also very candidly shares her own experience with burnout during her athletics career and her experience navigating life beyond sports. 

In today’s episode, we explore: 

✅ Finding her identity beyond athletics 

✅ The role of confidence in success 

✅ Building your champion mindset & leaning into your potential 

✅ Overcoming distractions & embracing failure 

✅ The tough transition out of her sporting career 

✅ Faith as a foundation for resilience 

✅ The power of outspokenness, no matter the space you’re in
