In our Language of Leadership podcast series, we explore the lessons business can take from sport when it comes to leadership. We have analysed the language used by elite individuals in sports and business, and developed six lessons for business leaders to take from sports leaders. In this series, we'll be discussing one lesson per episode with a leading figure in sport.

In the final episode of the series, we investigate 'viewing failure as a positive force', looking at how sports leaders view failure and success as complementary to each other and focus on intent, rather than just victory. Broadcaster, Ayo Akinwolere, and Charlie Unwin, a sports performance psychologist, are with Kate and Helen Richardson-Walsh, Commonwealth field hockey medallists with more than five hundred international caps between them.
