Jani Klemenčič was a member of a rowing crew, which won one of the first two Olympic medals in Barcelona 1992 for independent Slovenia.

He has competed in four Olympic Games: Barcelona 92, Atlanta 96, Sydney 00 and Athens 04 and numerous world rowing championships. The title of World Champion in fourth places is awarded when you have won an ungrateful place in the biggest competitions at least five times and at the same time complete a dissertation entitled "Little things counts."
Favorite movie: Forrest Gump. Jani’s challenges after the Olympics are read as a script for the second part. Marathons, triathlons, Iron Man, Kilimanjaro, a member of the crew of world sailing champions (Lanzzarote 2013 RC44), sommelier, restaurant Špica, Insync and various titles for the best... (;)).
Above all, an abundance of infectious positive energy. And as he says, “Rowing has given me everything I need for this world ... I have learned that anything is possible. The only question is how big your desire is and how far you are willing to go to reach the goal."

He has participated in three Olympic Games: Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, Beijing 2008 and twelve World Rowing Championships. At the Beijing Games, he was a member of rowing crew, which ensured the continuation of the "successful" story of winning fourth places. At the 2009 World Cup the tradition was beaten. Bronze medal and escape to sports retirement.
He liked to sit at the beginning of the crew, like a leader, where the rhythm begins. Jani says this is because he never knew how to follow. With the function comes the responsibility - different characters must snyc in to steady pace even outside of the boat. At home, however, it is different. The fact that he was a leader doesn’t interest his three girls much.
“Rowing, especially in larger crews, can easily summarize knowledge that do or don't support and encourage performance. Our goal is to show customers how to set values as reference points around which teams build their behavior.”

The beginning of the story
The lecturer often used methafor that we are in the same boat and how important it is to pull together.
»This one is poaching on yours territory«, one of the participants in the seminar on effective teamwork encouraged us during the break. "You could say something, after all, each one of you spent 20 years in the galleys, right?"
»He's right though«, we glanced at each other. This was soon after the end of our sport careers, when there were just experiences left. So many that we recognized patterns in team stories with a successful ending. Here and there.
… the discussion started, the audience got OUR insight into the background of metaphors, and we got the IDEA to start the story.
