LEADERSHIP

Mary Whipple talks about how, as the smallest member of the team, she learned what traits make an innate leader and how she could unify a group of strong individuals into a winning team.  She shares her experiences in building team identities, learning how to encourage and support each person as an individual while creating team unity, and how to recover from difficult challenges using the power of encouragement to win.    

LEAVING YOUR LEGACY – IT’S MORE THAN BEING AN OLYMPIAN

Mary shares what is most important about her legacy as an Olympian. More than achieving gold, being a highly decorated athlete, and breaking world records, Mary considers it her responsibility and her legacy to be the opportunity to inspire others to work towards their dreams. Mary's passion is sharing her insights on leadership traits that can be applied every day.
