Keynote Address by Olympian Jeremiah Brown
Jeremiah Brown is one of few Olympians ever to have started learning his sport only four years before winning a medal at the Olympics. Jeremiah’s book, The 4 Year Olympian, spent five weeks as the #1 bestselling sports memoir in Canada. His story has been featured on CBC, CTV, Roger’s Sportsnet, the Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star, and USA Today.
Jeremiah seems to operate on four-year cycles of reinvention. From commercial banker to Olympic medallist, from Olympian to Canadian sport leader, and from Canadian sport leader to bestselling author and professional speaker.
Through each transformation, Jeremiah has come to learn the most crucial strategies that make the difference between success and failure. He now passionately helps organizations and people understand how to overcome adversity and adapt to change in their own careers and personal lives.
