The Business of Sport Series: What has rowing taught me about business?
01 December 2022
"I must confess that naively I thought rowing really couldn’t be that hard - it would be just a case of jumping and “row, row, row your boat” as I used to sing to the kids. I was wrong. However, with perseverance came results. And satisfaction. The more time I have spent in the boat, learning, and growing, either with a crew or on my own, it has really highlighted to me how businesses could take a leaf out of the rower’s handbook to guide them through these continuing challenging economic times."
Lorraine Nelson, Tax Director at BDO NI has been rowing for about a year. In this article, as featured in the November edition of Local Women's Sport Magazine, Lorraine discusses the valuable insights and lessons she has learnt from being on the water that are true and relevant in her career and in business.
