This week I talk to Lou about what it feels like for athletes going to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Having just bid farewell to one of her Olympians Lou shares what it feels like from her side of the table, what the Olympians are facing this year and why in Lou's words it will be an Olympics like no other.
We discuss the parallels between Olympic preparation and organisational leadership – but how in many ways organisations often know what to do but don’t ‘walk the talk’ in the way the teams who surround athletes do. Lou explains why it’s never a comfortable experience watching an athlete you’ve trained, why athletes have experienced and understood more things about themselves leading up to a Covid Olympics than any other and why we are set to see some incredible performances.
