CM Autumn Template - Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario

(From page 13)
next day you will have to do a long run – you’re running
three to four times a week as well and one of them has to
be a really long, solid run. Then there’s swimming four
times a week. You also need weight training to build leg
muscles, and yoga to keep yourself loose and stretched
out. You have to be careful with what you eat and you are
supposed to get a lot of sleep. It’s six to seven days a
week – all year-round.”
Was it also mentioned that Jennifer Eberman holds an
interesting day job? She is Associate Director, Education at
the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario. Since her
earlier days as KPMG’s National UFE Director to her
current role, Jennifer has always had a passion for CA
education and continues to fulfill that role as she is now
responsible for the development and delivery of prep
programs for the CA students. But it wasn’t always so.
“I was originally in engineering and although I liked the
classes, I didn’t enjoy the work terms at all. In my last year
of school, I started taking accounting courses and I did
well in them. I looked at the CA designation and I liked the
fact that there was a set career path. I like structure in
things and with the CA I could see the progression – take
the courses, go into a program, article and come out with a
tangible designation. It suits my personality better.”

And life comes full circle as it often does – Jennifer is now
in the position where she counsels CA students, “Be
committed and always keep your eye on the prize but at
the same time keep some perspective on things. Try to
keep other things in your life so it doesn’t completely
encompass you, and persevere to the end.”
Now about that trip to Hawaii, “I’m going this year to watch
and train. I’ll be riding some of the bike course, practising
swimming in the ocean, seeing what long runs in the heat
are like, and just taking everything in as a spectator to try
to help me prep for next year.’’
And what about this incredible accomplishment? “I always
wanted to get there. It’s the ultimate goal – the dream –
something that I think almost everyone who does the
Ironman wants… to get to Kona. I had hoped that I would
some day but I didn’t think it would be this soon.”
Jennifer Eberman, may the surf be with you at Kona in
2010!
