78: Shannon Bahrke-Happe on Raising the Bar
b'
When you become the best in the entire world at something, what do you do next? How do you not let that be the high point in life, instead, keep raising the bar? I had a wonderful talk with Shannon Barke-Happe today about that, about professional racing, and life afterwards. Shannon was on the US.. Ski Team for 12 years. During that time, she brought home a silver and a bronze medal. She also won the Overall World Cup title in 2003, had seven World Cup victories, 26 World Cup podiums and her list of wins goes on from there. She is a mom, founder of Team Empower Hour and the author of a children\\u2019s book Mommy Why Is Your Hair Pink?\\xa0
\\xa0
We talked about having conviction in your goals and how that got her to the podium and medal wins. Great insights we can all take home with us as we pursue our own goals. A big lesson in today\\u2019s show - sometimes you have to know when to fold them. The hard truth in walking away from dreams and resetting the course.\\xa0
\\xa0
We\\u2019ll learn what it\\u2019s like to be a professional racer standing at the starting gate, and how she applied this to her business Team Empower Hour where she and her team bring these principles to the corporate environment through keynote speeches and custom experiences and workshops.\\xa0
\\xa0
The message in her book Mommy Why is Your Hair Pink isn\\u2019t just for kids - that pursuing your dreams and knowing that everything you need to success is deep within yourself.\\xa0
\\xa0
With that, let\\u2019s listen in and gear up for what\\u2019s next.\\xa0
