And now for our amazing second speaker - Dr Catherine Bishop!

Cath works as a leadership speaker and consultant drawing on her practical experience from two high pressure careers as an Olympic rower and a senior diplomat specialising in conflict stabilisation.

In her rowing career, Cath competed at three Olympic Games, Atlanta, Sydney and Athens, with highlights including winning the World Championships in 2003 and an Olympic silver medal in 2004. As a diplomat specialising in conflict issues, Cath was posted to Sarajevo, Bosnia and Basra, Iraq, as well as leading in Whitehall on the UK civilian contribution to conflicts around the world.

Drawing on her unique combination of experience, Cath understands the resilience and leadership required to manage complex challenges that come from exceptionally high pressure demands in the workplace, sporting arena and at home. Both rowing and international diplomacy offer relevant analogies for the interdependency and collaboration that is essential to business success, and with her experience at the top end of both fields, Cath has also developed practical strategies for getting both individuals and teams to focus on delivering exceptional results under the toughest of circumstances.

Cath has an MA in Modern Languages from Pembroke College, Cambridge, an MPhil in International Politics from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, and a PhD in contemporary German literature from the University of Reading. She is also the Chair of the Cambridge University Women’s Boat Club which made history in April 2015 when, for the first time ever, the women’s Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race took place on the same course and same day as the men’s Boat race. She has led seminars for companies, such as Nexen, Coca Cola Enterprises and Microsoft, as well as speaking and leading workshops for business schools, including the Said Business School, Henley and Ashridge on topics such as resilience, leadership, high performing teams, peak performance and dealing with pressure. Cath is also passionate about supporting women in business at senior levels to reach their potential and is combining her own experience with new research to support and develop putting this into practice.
