The Long Win: The search for a better way to succeed -with Cath Bishop

What truly is winning? Do you still win if you come second in the world, or have you lost? What if you come last or experience a business failure though learn lessons that last a lifetime? Is that a loss or winning in disguise?

On this episode of The Business Elevation Show, we’ll discuss the lessons from Cath’s first book ‘The Long Win: the search for a better way to succeed’ described by the Financial Times as ‘a deep and rewarding exploration of human motivation in sport, politics, business, and our personal lives’.
