Jeremiah Brown

When the pressure’s on and you have an aggressive goal you need to bring within reach, you have to go fast and in one direction, together. That requires a level of trust, accountability, and commitment that pulls everyone forward – even on the hard days.

Jeremiah Brown learned this racing in an eight-man boat, where a single off-stroke could cost the entire crew an Olympic medal. It didn’t matter how hard any one person worked; if the crew wasn’t in sync, the boat went nowhere. The same is true for any team under pressure.

With humor, heart, and his trademark intensity, Jeremiah delivers the insights and breakthrough thinking audiences need to reach their own seemingly impossible goals – and gives them the actionable tools to fast-track progress and set the standard everyone else follows.

When your organization has to transform fast and you can’t afford to wait, how do you get your team to adapt quickly to change so you can achieve your biggest goals?

You need everyone clear on the vision, fully invested in the next chapter, and giving everything to the effort – but right now there’s a gap between what they think they’re capable of and what you’re asking them to deliver. Which means your team will only go as far as you believe they can.

Jeremiah Brown learned this from the coaches who pulled an Olympic medal out of him. By helping every athlete reimagine their best effort, they set a standard that pulled the entire crew forward. In this keynote, Jeremiah shares what it takes to build teams that expect to win, no matter how high the stakes, and commit to finishing what they started.

AUDIENCE TAKEAWAYS

• Strategies for building resilience so you can bring people with you through rapid change.
• The conviction to lead with belief before your team is ready to believe in themselves.
• The ability to close the gap between what your team thinks they’re capable of and what you need them to deliver.
• An understanding of how to create the conditions for everyone to give their maximum effort.
• The discipline to set the standard high, even on the hard days.
• A framework for accelerating transformation without burning people out.

If you want to keep pace with relentless change, you have to embrace the discomfort of constant evolution so you can do hard things together. But how?

Everywhere-all-at-once disruption has left us reeling. How do you find it in yourselves to rise to the moment, move forward with urgency, and give your best effort when you can barely keep up?

Jeremiah knows what it’s like to be in over your head with no time to catch up. He went from complete beginner to Olympic medalist in just four years – a timeline people said was impossible – and he’s honest about the grit and the grace it took to get across the finish line. In this keynote, he shows what becomes possible when people stop waiting for perfect conditions, accept that change needs to happen, and start moving as one.

• The determination to keep showing up, even when the path forward isn’t clear.
