Winning at All Costs Is How You Lose Everything | Reina

Reina-Flor Okori competed in four Olympic Games. Three for France, then one final Games for Equatorial Guinea, where she carried the flag her parents fled under. In this episode, the hurdler turned leadership coach explains why the "win at all costs" mindset that took her to the top nearly destroyed her, and what she built instead.

We explore her three levels of leadership: survival mode, the hyper-competitive shark that burns out, and the rare transcendent state where performance and wellbeing coexist. She shares her comeback nine months after giving birth, her Sankofa journey back to her ancestry, and why talent development, not hard skills, is the only edge that survives AI. A conversation about sovereignty, dignity and what you are really running for. Listen, and share it with someone chasing the wrong finish line.
