Leadership under pressure.
Powerful expedition stories and practical lessons in leadership, resilience and teamwork — from the 12th Briton to reach both Geographic Poles.
What your audience takes away
Lead like a guide.
How do you make decisions when the way forward is uncertain? Keep a team working together when pressure builds? Find the motivation to continue when your plans fall apart?
Drawing on 20 years as an expedition leader, including expeditions to the North and South Poles, Antony shares what it takes to lead people through unfamiliar terrain, changing conditions and demanding situations.
His honest stories of preparation, difficult decisions, setbacks and perseverance explore a practical approach to leadership: understand your people, build trust, set a clear direction and adapt as circumstances change.
Audiences leave with a fresh perspective on their own challenges — how to think clearly under pressure, support those around them and turn ambition into purposeful action.
Each talk is shaped around your audience and event objectives, connecting lessons from expedition leadership with the decisions and demands they face in their own working lives.
