This conversation serves as Part 2 for our deep dive into the theme of Transition. Today Susanne Wereley (nee Grainger) takes us into the boat with her as she reflects on her NCAA championship in 2012, the raw feeling of unfinished business following the Olympic final in Rio, and the process of redefining excellence that was critical in her crew’s Gold Medal performance in Tokyo. But equally powerful is how her accelerated transition to marriage, parenthood, full time work has helped her truly own the growth she forged on the water and the life skills she acquired with her teammates during her nearly 20 year rowing career. Lace up your runners or pour a strong cup of coffee and turn on airplane mode because this conversation deserves your undivided attention. Onwards and Upwards!!
