Signature Keynote
The Winner’s Mindset: Building High-Performance Habits for Life and Work
What separates top performers from everyone else?
It’s not talent.
It’s not luck.
It’s the go-to mindset and everyday habits that allow people to keep showing up when things get tough.
Drawing on her experience as a professional athlete and one of the world’s top obstacle course racers, Rose shares the powerful lessons she’s learned from:
- Missing the Olympic Trials qualifying time by mere seconds
- Crashing into barbed wire during a race, and not missing a beat - popping up, pulling barbs out, and getting right back to chasing first place
- Supporting her husband through cancer treatment
- Rebuilding her career after postpartum depression
- Getting selected to compete for Team USA in her forties
Through these stories, Rose reveals the practical strategies elite athletes use to overcome adversity, rise to the top, and sustain peak performance.
