About this resource
In this on-demand webinar, Women Business Collaborative (WBC), edX Enterprise, and WBC Business Academy athletes unpack a live case study in skill-based career development. The discussion explores how elite athletes are translating the same skills that help them succeed under pressure — resilience, adaptability, critical thinking, and communication — into business-ready capabilities.
Stream the full session to learn what L&D, HR, and talent leaders can take from the WBC Athlete Business Academy model, including how coaching and personalized learning pathways can help people recognize their strengths, build new skills, and move into new career contexts.
