LEADERSHIP COMMUNICATIONS SERIES - Episode 3
There are many articles written by psychologists about the “theory” of working with elite-level performers; extremely few people actually get to do it. Duff Gibson is a Canadian Olympic gold medal winner who was hired to coach the next generation of athletes. He knew the sport, he knew the strategies, he knew the mindset required to perform, he knew the psychology of leadership… and he would learn a lot on the job.

Guest: Duff Gibson, Canada Olympic gold medal winner 2006
