Catriona Le May Doan has done what no other Canadian athlete has ever accomplished—she won an Olympic Gold medal and then successfully defended her Olympic Gold title.

This two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and five-time World Champion is one of Canada’s most successful and highly decorated athletes. She is the first and only Canadian individual to defend a gold medal at any Olympic Games.  Her unwavering commitment and drive towards her goals is an inspiration for fellow athletes and Canadians in any situation. A part of the Vancouver Olympic 2010 bid team, Catriona spent three years on their Board of Directors. During the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics she joined Brian Williams and Lloyd Robertson in the broadcast booth as Co-Host of the Opening Ceremony and also served as Analyst for Long Track Speed Skating alongside Rod Smith.

Catriona is an articulate, engaging and bilingual presenter. Her story is an inspiration, and her ability to explore with audiences the method of achieving personal excellence while challenging and motivating people to achieve their full potential is unmatched.

Catriona will share the strategies and tactics that she applied to her sport, and how they can be applied universally.  She shares her insights on achieving goals and the process during which one experiences trials and triumphs.  It is only with characteristics like passion, a winning attitude, commitment, and teamwork that you can achieve your potential. Twenty-three years in the sport of speed skating taught Catriona a great deal.  She learned to deal not only with obstacles, but also with success.

Catriona’s journey included numerous obstacles, yet with the help of her team, she learned to overcome anything.  She has seen firsthand what can be achieved when a team works together and appreciates each other’s strengths and weaknesses.  That the potential is limitless when a team unites and rises to face challenges together.

Catriona realized her dream of winning an Olympic gold medal, and further realized that remaining at the top was even harder.  She will leave her audience with a clear understanding of what it takes to get to the top and stay there in a competitive environment.

What does it take to be the best?  What does it take to remain the best?  Catriona highlights the role of leadership and the need to continually raise the bar to stay on top and overcome obstacles.
