#36: Donna Barton Brothers, NBC Sports Reporter, Former Jockey & Starlight Racing COO—What Motivates Each Team Member

Today’s guest is Donna Barton Brothers, the COO of Starlight Racing. She also just happens to be one of the most decorated female jockeys in the horse industry and the leading on-track television broadcaster for NBC. If you watch the Kentucky Derby, she’s the reporter at the winner’s circle, riding her horse backward as she talks to the winning jockey in the moments after the race. Now that takes some talent! But that’s not the only thing that makes Donna remarkable. She is full of insight into what it takes to win. And as you’ll hear in this conversation, there are so many parallels between how jockeys get the most out of their horses and how we as leaders can get the most out of our teams. You’ll also learn: The importance of understanding your own unique gifts and niche skills Why you can be an influential leader even if you don’t have a large team What elite race horses can teach us about leading teams to victory An indispensable piece of advice for anyone who speaks to the media Take your learning further.
