Speaking

As one of the freshest speakers on the circuit, Tom is passionate, inspiring, personable, modest and entertaining. But what makes Tom such a unique speaker is that before embarking on his exploration career, he worked in the City as an accountant with Arthur Andersen, meaning that as well as having a high level of professionalism in everything he does, he can directly relate to corporate audiences, subtly drawing out key business and personal lessons.

Illustrated with a stunning collection of images and video clips, Tom’s uplifting and fascinating presentations bring the raw beauty of the polar regions to life and describe how his teams battled with the elements during their record-breaking journeys.

Drawing on his own experiences in the worlds of both exploration and business, Tom involves each individual as he makes the analogy between Mother Nature's most extreme challenges, and the day-to-day challenges facing those of us in slightly less dangerous occupations.

Tom's presentations provide a unique and highly motivating lesson for any organisation by stressing
how communication, planning, goal setting, creative thinking, patience, organisational skills, enthusiasm, flexibility to meet and overcome unexpected obstacles, risk analysis and individual determination are vital ingredients in achieving results when under extreme pressure.

Tom adapts his talks not only to suit each audience or conference theme but also to keep up to date with his latest expeditions.

Tom has been firmly established in the corporate speaking market for some time, giving motivational talks all over the world to a broad spectrum ofaudiences including BlueBay Asset Management, HBOS, AXA Insurance Group, Barclays Capital, Primavera Systems, ABN AMRO, Diageo, Lloyds TSB, Dare Digital, KPMG, Johnnie Walker, Hays MacIntyre, PWC, Pernod Riccard, the NHS, Barclays Bank, Marsh & Parsons, the Town & Country Housing Group, CSL Behring and the John Lewis Partnership to rave reviews.
