When companies want to increase workplace goal commitment, adapt to change, strengthen resolve, and inspire their teams, they call Jeremiah Brown — the four-year Olympian! Brown is a change and transformation expert, a bestselling author, and a former leader of career transitions, skill development, and mental health for the Canadian Olympic Committee. He electrifies audiences with battle-tested strategies on goal resilience, transformation, and team success, equipping audiences with the grit, leadership mindset, and collective resolve to overcome obstacles and achieve ambitious goals.

A former commercial banker who had never rowed a stroke in his life, Brown stood on the podium at the London 2012 Olympic Games just four years later as a silver medalist in the men’s eight. His remarkable underdog journey has been featured on CBC, CTV, Sportsnet, the Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star, and USA Today, and his book, The 4 Year Olympian, spent five weeks as the #1 bestselling sports memoir in Canada.

Today, as an internationally booked keynote speaker, Brown uniquely bridges the gap between high-performance sport and corporate reality. His background as a commercial analyst gives him insight into the metrics that drive business, while his experience as the former National Manager of Game Plan for the Canadian Olympic Committee — where he led strategy for athlete career transitions and mental health — deepens his understanding of navigating critical pivots. He has delivered hundreds of presentations for world-class organizations including Spotify, TD Bank, Cisco, and the NHL’s Calgary Flames.

Whether your organization is navigating a merger, tackling a stretch goal, or trying to maintain morale during turbulent times, Brown delivers the inspiration and the tools needed to turn your team into a powerhouse.

My team loved this session and was motivated by Jeremiah’s energy and resilience — would highly recommend.

  • We recently hired Jeremiah to speak at a product launch celebration for my team at Shopify, to commemorate a two-year project and a lot of hard work! He was super easy and enjoyable to work with. He really took the time to understand what kind of work the team does and paid close attention to detail to offer a customized talk, tailored to our specific needs. The team was highly impressed and inspired by Jeremiah’s story. They really enjoyed the insights he offered about how to keep going when you’re in the middle of working towards your goal (and it seems further away than ever) while also looking ahead at the next set of challenges along the path.

His content and delivery was just what we were looking for to inspire us for our journey ahead both personally and within our business.

  • Jeremiah delivered a fantastic keynote to our fast-growing tech startup. He was able to dig into the priorities and goals of our organization and tailor his life story and journey in a manner that aligned to what our organization has in front of it for this fiscal year.

Highly recommend Jeremiah for corporate speaking.

  • Jeremiah’s keynote presentation was one of the best our organization had ever hosted, and it resonated immediately. Many of our employees stayed after the event to speak with Jeremiah, and I received a lot of positive feedback after the event. Jeremiah was accessible, open, vulnerable, intelligent, and funny. You can’t go wrong in hiring Jeremiah. He is invested in the success of your event, but more importantly, in making an impact on your audience.
