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.
