Adam Kreek, a Canadian Olympic gold medalist rower, competed in the heavyweight division at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and has since become a coach for high-performing executives and organizations. As if his Olympic gold medal wasn’t impressive enough, Adam also rowed across the Atlantic Ocean!
He’s a supremely motivated athlete and person, and there are numerous parallels to draw between his athletic mindset and the mindset needed to win in business. Join Rob and Adam this week for a conversation on what it takes to make it to the Olympics, and what it takes to be a leader in your organization.
