Cath Bishop

Cath Bishop is a former British Olympic rower, diplomat and leadership expert whose work bridges the worlds of elite sport, international negotiation and organisational culture. She represented Great Britain in rowing for over a decade, winning a World Championship gold medal and an Olympic silver medal at the 2004 Athens Games. After retiring from competitive sport, Bishop pursued a career in diplomacy, working for the British Foreign Office in Bosnia, Iraq and other conflict zones. She now works as a leadership consultant and executive coach, helping organisations rethink their approach to success and performance. Her book The Long Win challenges conventional definitions of winning, arguing that a narrow focus on short-term results undermines long-term achievement, wellbeing and purpose. Drawing on her experiences in sport, diplomacy and business, Bishop offers a compelling framework for sustainable high performance. Her audiobooks and books have resonated with leaders, athletes and anyone seeking a more meaningful approach to success. She is a sought-after speaker and commentator on leadership, culture and performance.
