The 13-Year Battle for Olympic Bronze and the Impacts of Doping on Clean Athletes - Shannon Rowbury
In this keynote, Olympic bronze medalist Shannon Rowbury shares the 5 Keys of the Medalist Mindset™, a practical framework built from her years of elite competition and refined through corporate workshops and keynotes. Through powerful stories, clear takeaways, and actionable tools, Shannon helps teams establish clear goals, strengthen resilience, and deliver consistently when the stakes are high. Best for leadership teams, corporate offsites, sales and performance teams, high-achieving professionals, and organizations navigating big goals and big pressure.
High performers don't succeed because conditions are perfect—they succeed because they know how to respond when they aren't. Drawing from her experience as a three-time Olympian and elite performer, Shannon Rowbury shares the mindset and resilience tools she used to navigate setbacks, uncertainty, and high-pressure moments while continuing to build toward long-term success. This keynote helps individuals and teams reset after disruption, re-establish strong foundations, and shift their focus from what they can't control to what truly drives performance. Whether navigating organizational change, managing morale after a setback, or leading through ambiguity, participants leave with practical tools to stay grounded, focused, and effective—especially when it matters most.
This interactive keynote gives teams practical tools to regulate stress, improve decision-making, and stay sharp during intense moments. Shannon integrates research-backed techniques like breathing, visualization, and power poses that audiences can use to improve performance immediately before meetings, presentations, or high-pressure moments. Best for high-pressure teams, fast-paced organizations, burnout prevention, healthcare, cybersecurity, tech, and teams who want tangible tools—not theory.
