Corporate Speaking
Public Speaker | Expeditions Manager | Adventurer
If you would like an engaging, entertaining, humane, powerful and effective speaker to really connect with your audience, then you can book the best speaker you have never heard of.
My talks share insights and experiences from the world’s remotest wildernesses and high-risk environments and share valuable experience on many topics including: effective teams, strategic planning and agility. The Explorer Mindset is a special blend of attitudes, approaches, and actions that are needed in high-risk environments and I show how their application has a positive impact on businesses and organisations.
I talk on a range of topics so you can book a keynote talk that’s focussed on your needs and the challenges you face in your organisation.

How to help teams stay motivated

In an ocean of speakers, you are an island of relevant insights drawn from hard-earned experience. Thank you. My team especially enjoyed your self-deprecating vignettes of adventures in the Alps, Antarctica and the City of London! We look forward to welcoming you back to speak again in the near future, be it online or in person.

The time and effort put into each and every talk made for a phenomenal programme and generated a palpable electricity that lasted throughout the 3 days. At the start of the conference, I asked people to ‘network like crazy’ - so I’d like to also thank you for your time when chatting with delegates eager to make their mark on the world of ‘extreme’ medicine.
- Mark Hannaford, Founder, World Extreme Medicine Conference
