Episode Title: 🇬🇧Gold Medals to Gold Standards: Athletes' Mindsets in the Corporate World🇬🇧
Today's episode is with a guest who was able to provide firsthand knowledge into the experiences of athletes who missed out on podium glory—not because they failed to place in the top three, but because they were cheated by competitors who used performance-enhancing drugs. My guest shared her poignant story of this betrayal and its devastating impact. Despite this, she transformed her experience into a positive force, focusing on the recognition, management, and recovery of mental health issues both in sports and the corporate world. This episode of the #HTSportsSeries on Heads Talk is a must-listen.

Marilyn Okoro OLY, a celebrated British track and field athlete, medal-winning Olympian, and part of Team GB, is remembered for her achievements in the 800 meters and the 4x400 meters relay.
