Ep #101: Becoming a Resilient Corporate Athlete with Pam Borton

Pam Borton is one of the nation’s top women’s basketball coaches who now helps executive leaders become resilient corporate athletes.

And Pam first built her executive-level resilience in an unlikely way:

Shooting baskets on the mangled, crooked rim in front of her family’s barn.

Because the rim was crooked, Pam missed. A lot.

But she kept at it.

She never gave up.

And she found new ways to score.

This is what executive-level resilience looks like in action.

Executive level-resilience means learning how to succeed, no matter how imperfect the situation is.

It means fighting for that promotion, even as your boss tries to block you.

It means advocating for your career, even as your company announces layoffs.

And it means finding a way to make things happen, no matter how hopeless the situation may seem.

Want to build your executive-level resilience?

In this episode of Maximize Your Career with Stacy Mayer, Pam and I dive into the lessons inside her new book, The Crooked Rim, AND we lay out inspiring and practical strategies that will help you become a resilient, high-performing corporate athlete today.
