After missing out on the Rio 2016 games as a swimmer, he switched sports to become a World Champion rower just three years later.In conversation with IMD’s Susan Goldsworthy, Zeidler discusses growing up in a family legacy of Olympic success, which \"normalized peak performance,\" and the critical role of his grandfather as a \"secure base\" who inspired him to pursue both a competitive sports career and a business career, at Deloitte.Zeidler explains how combining an intellectual, office-based role with the physical demands of rowing has provided balance in his life. He talks about the key to his sustainable success and details a unique perspective on managing setbacks and embracing the \"beginner's mindset\". This powerful characteristic has allowed him to continuously explore and master new challenges, from switching sports at 20 to entering a demanding MBA program at the International Institute for Management Development (IMD) in Lausanne.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/6JEC9u5m0atnw0EbPG_1zpJcbRls8jffrYuIcMGlApk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI3NDAwLzE2NDE5/MjA3NTAtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
