This week Julia is joined by Polly, a footballer and now an executive in the world of football to talk to us about the importance of 'losing well'.
As a sportsperson and a leader she shares how she consciously worked to maintain a balanced understanding of winning and losing, reminding herself to never go too high with the highs or too low with the lows. Not only has this allowed her to be a reliable teammate and leader, but it has also enabled her to bounce back from each loss and learn from them. She reminds us to keep our eye on the ball - to focus on the lessons learnt, rather than getting lost in the outcome itself.
