Peak Performance speakers

Why organisations work with Tim Henman The pressure he performed under was not generic high-stakes pressure. It was sustained, nationally televised, and deeply personal, with British tennis’s entire public narrative resting on each Wimbledon fortnight for nearly a decade. That specific form of high-visibility, high-expectation performance is directly legible to leaders who carry organisational reputation on their results. His record demonstrates competitive consistency rather than isolated peaks: six Grand Slam semi-finals across all four major surfaces, across two distinct periods of competitive form, while sustaining a top-10 ATP ranking across multiple seasons. The argument he makes about sustained performance is grounded in measurable, verifiable results. As an AELTC board member, he speaks from a position few sports speakers occupy; not only as a former competitor, but as an active participant in the governance of one of the world’s most scrutinised sporting institutions, with direct experience of its most consequential decisions. His 2020 captaincy of Great Britain at the inaugural ATP Cup provides specific, recent experience of leading a team of elite, independent individuals in a compressed, high-pressure competition: a format with obvious organisational parallels for senior leaders managing high-performing, high-ego teams. Two decades immersed in Wimbledon – as competitor, board member, and BBC commentator – means he speaks from the inside of a complex sporting and commercial operation across all its dimensions, not from match-day memory alone. Biography highlights Former ATP world No. 4 in men’s singles; British No. 1 continuously from 1999 to 2005 Six Grand Slam semi-finals: four at Wimbledon (1998, 1999, 2001, 2002), plus the French Open and US Open (both 2004) 11 ATP singles titles, including the 2003 Paris Masters (ATP Masters 1000); 4 ATP doubles titles (15 combined) Olympic silver medallist, men’s doubles, 1996 Atlanta Games (with Neil Broad) OBE, 2004 New Year Honours, for services to tennis Board member, All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC), the governing body of Wimbledon BBC Wimbledon commentator and analyst since 2008 Great Britain captain, inaugural ATP Cup, Sydney, 2020 Founder, Tim Henman Foundation (education and health support for disadvantaged young people) Biography For a decade, every British summer began with the same question: would this be Tim Henman’s year? The weight of expectation he carried – sustained, public, and deeply personal – shaped him as a competitor in ways that resonate directly with leaders. As Britain’s world No. 4 and British No. 1 from 1999 to 2005, he performed year after year under conditions few professional athletes encounter and fewer corporate high-performers can imagine. His record spans six Grand Slam semi-finals across all four major surfaces: four at Wimbledon, and semi-final runs at both the French Open and US Open in 2004, the latter confirming a second competitive peak well into his career. His 2003 Paris Masters title, won with consecutive victories over three top-ten players, remains one of British tennis’s landmark single-tournament performances. That consistency, sustained across two distinct periods and multiple surfaces, is the foundation of what he brings to the platform. Since retiring in 2007, Henman has not stepped back from elite sport. He joined the board of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, contributing to institutional decisions, including the management of the 2020 cancellation and the transition to AI-assisted line-calling, from inside Wimbledon’s governance. He captained Great Britain at the inaugural ATP Cup in Sydney in 2020, leading a squad that included Andy Murray. He has been a BBC Wimbledon commentator since 2008, translating elite performance for broad audiences across more than fifteen competitive cycles. The Tim Henman Foundation, which he founded to support disadvantaged young people through education and health, reflects a commitment that stretches well beyond the results sheet. Key speaking topics Performing under pressure Competitive resilience and mental discipline Sustained high performance National representation and public expectation Team dynamics in high-stakes competition Athletic-to-leadership transition Preparation, focus, and decision-making under scrutiny Ideal for Senior leadership and executive conferences where competitive mindset, performance culture, and resilience under pressure are central themes Sales and commercial leadership events where the parallels between elite sport and high-stakes commercial performance are directly applicable Sports industry forums, Wimbledon-adjacent hospitality, and British-market events where his cultural profile adds immediate resonance HR and people leadership audiences exploring what sustained high performance looks like in practice, and how organisations can build environments that produce it Audience outcomes A first-person, evidence-grounded perspective on how elite performers maintain output under sustained, high-visibility pressure – not as a set of techniques, but as a practised, testable discipline Understanding of how competitive consistency is built over time: through preparation, surface adaptation, and the ability to perform across conditions rather than only in ideal circumstances Insight into the specific mental challenges of carrying high expectation: when it fuels performance, and when it becomes a liability Practical reflection on what the shift from individual competitor to team leader requires, drawing on experience as both a Davis Cup player and ATP Cup captain A perspective on elite sport that extends beyond the athlete’s experience into institutional governance, offering audiences a more complete picture of what world-class performance systems actually look like from the inside

Why organisations work with Tim Kröger Two Whitbread Round the World podiums (1993/94 second, 1997/98 third) and a Mumm 36 World Championship give him direct, named experience of multi-week competitive performance, not generic adventure narrative. Author of Ich bin wir, das Crew-Konzept (Delius Klasing, 2013), a published thesis on how international crews are built and held together, which he uses as the spine of his corporate sessions. Two America’s Cup challenger campaigns (Le Defi Areva and Shosholoza) give him operating experience inside multinational, multilingual professional teams under heavy sponsor and media scrutiny. Holds a working coaching role with the German Sailing Association on the Olympic Mixed Offshore discipline, so the material is current, not retired-athlete reminiscence. Awarded the Silbernes Lorbeerblatt in 1983 alongside the German Admiral’s Cup team, anchoring credibility at national level rather than only within sailing circles. Biography highlights Whitbread Round the World Race: second place 1993/94 aboard Intrum Justitia, third place 1997/98 aboard Swedish Match. Admiral’s Cup winner with the German team, 1983; recipient of the Silbernes Lorbeerblatt the same year. Mumm 36 World Champion, 1995, aboard Corum. America’s Cup challenger campaigns with Le Defi Areva (France) and Shosholoza (South Africa). Author of Ich bin wir, das Crew-Konzept (Delius Klasing, 2013) and Abgerechnet wird im Ziel (2001). Trainer for the Mixed Offshore Olympic discipline with the German Sailing Association; Race Crew Manager in J Class yacht programmes. Biography The Whitbread Round the World Race runs nine months. A crew sails roughly 32,000 nautical miles, much of it in the Southern Ocean. Tim Kröger has finished it twice on the podium: second on Intrum Justitia in 1993/94 under Lawrie Smith, third on Swedish Match in 1997/98 as watch captain. That is the operating environment his corporate work draws from. In 1993 he became the first German to make professional offshore sailing his primary career. The decade after produced a Mumm 36 world title aboard Corum in 1995 and two America’s Cup challenger campaigns: the French Le Defi Areva syndicate from 2001 to 2003, and the South African Shosholoza programme from 2005 to 2007. Both involved running the operational seam between sailors, shore crew, designers and sponsors. His book Ich bin wir, das Crew-Konzept, published by Delius Klasing in 2013, sets out how a crew is actually built and held together: who decides, how watches hand over, how mistakes are handled while the boat is still moving. The argument carries because the crews he describes are named ones he sailed in, not composite illustrations. He continues to work as a trainer for the German Sailing Association in the Mixed Offshore Olympic discipline and as Race Crew Manager in J Class yacht programmes. The Admiral’s Cup win in 1983 brought him the Silbernes Lorbeerblatt, Germany’s highest sporting honour, awarded by the Federal President. Key speaking topics High-performance team dynamics Leadership under sustained pressure Decision-making in offshore racing Communication across multinational crews Accountability inside small expert teams Resilience and recovery on long campaigns Building and managing elite crews Ideal for Executive teams and ExCos preparing for sustained operational pressure (transformations, integrations, restructures) Leadership offsites where the brief is team behaviour, not strategy content Sales and operations conferences seeking a credible narrative anchor with serious substance behind it After-dinner and incentive audiences in DACH and international corporate settings Audience outcomes A working vocabulary for how elite crews hold decision quality when conditions deteriorate Specific techniques for handover, watch discipline and post-error recovery, drawn from named campaigns A clearer view of what accountability looks like in practice inside small expert teams A reframed sense of what sustained pressure does to communication, and what disciplined crews do about it

Why organisations work with Tima Deryan A first-person account of summiting Everest in one of the deadliest seasons on the mountain, used as concrete material for how leaders prepare for, recover from, and execute under conditions where mistakes cost lives. A track record of physical first-ever achievements, including Everest, the Seven Summits, the South Pole, and Ojos del Salado, that gives weight to her arguments on goal-setting and persistence beyond the usual motivational register. A working coaching practice, not a one-off speaking circuit; she runs Mountain Gipsy as an ongoing platform, which means content is sharpened by repeated client work rather than rehearsed from a single book. A founder track record alongside the mountaineering, including the sustainable fashion brand Feministiya and earlier ventures, which gives her credibility on women’s leadership and entrepreneurship topics where bureaus often field speakers with only one of those two profiles. Biography highlights First Lebanese woman and youngest Arab to summit Mount Everest, 22 May 2019, age 26. First Lebanese woman to ski the last degree to the South Pole, December 2022. Completed the Seven Summits; first Arab woman to summit Ojos del Salado, the world’s highest active volcano. Founder and CEO of Mountain Gipsy; founder of Feministiya, a sustainability-focused fashion brand. Author of Curly Adventures: Mount Everest, a children’s book on her ascent. Certified mindset coach with a corporate keynote client list spanning multinationals across consumer goods, energy, and pharmaceuticals. Biography The 2019 Everest season was one of the deadliest on record. On 22 May, Tima Deryan reached the summit at 7:21 am, becoming the first Lebanese woman and the youngest Arab to do so. The technical and psychological work that produced that morning is what she now teaches. Deryan has since added the South Pole, the Seven Summits, and Ojos del Salado to a sustained record of high-altitude objectives. She is pursuing the Explorer Grand Slam, a list completed by fewer than 75 people globally and by only 15 women. The achievements matter for the keynote because the lessons are drawn from environments where decisions cannot be undone, not from a metaphor. Outside the mountains, she runs Mountain Gipsy as a coaching and speaking platform and founded Feministiya, a sustainable fashion brand focused on women’s rights and gender equality. That second track gives her substantive material on entrepreneurship and women’s leadership rather than the borrowed credibility some adventure speakers rely on. She is also a best-selling author of Curly Adventures: Mount Everest, a children’s book recounting her climb. Her corporate work includes keynotes and workshops for Procter & Gamble, Merck, Ford, Adidas, Henkel, Swarovski, Shell, and ADNOC. The repeated booking pattern across consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, and energy reflects what she is most often commissioned for: a high-stakes story used as working material on goal-setting, team dynamics, and composure under pressure. Key speaking topics Goal-setting in low-margin environments Mindset and self-leadership under pressure Decision-making in high-stakes uncertainty Team dynamics on extended expeditions Women’s leadership and breaking first-ever barriers Entrepreneurship and sustainability Resilience and recovery from setback Ideal for CHROs and L&D leaders commissioning a high-stakes keynote on resilience and goal-setting Sales and commercial leadership teams working through stretch targets Women’s leadership networks and ERGs inside large multinationals Off-site events for senior teams that need a working narrative on composure under pressure, not a generic motivational session Audience outcomes A working framework for setting and pursuing objectives where failure has real cost A first-person account of how preparation, composure, and team trust hold up in extreme conditions A clearer view of what self-leadership looks like in environments without external validation A direct argument for persistence in goals that look unreasonable from the starting line

Why organisations work with Timur Boguslavskiy Two GT World Challenge Europe overall titles, in 2020 and 2023, with the 2020 win making him the youngest overall champion in the series’ history. The record is verifiable and current. Active top-tier competitor in the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship LMGT3 class with Team WRT, sharing a BMW M4 GT3 EVO with Augusto Farfus and Yasser Shahin. The material is fresh, not retrospective. Direct experience of multi-driver endurance racing, where handover, radio discipline and shared decision-making decide results across hours of competition. A 2023 Endurance Cup title won alongside Raffaele Marciello and Jules Gounon, a useful proof point for audiences interested in how mixed-rated teams perform under pressure. Biography highlights 2020 GT World Challenge Europe overall champion, youngest in the series’ history. 2023 GT World Challenge Europe overall champion and Endurance Cup champion with Raffaele Marciello and Jules Gounon. 2019 Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup Silver Cup champion with Nico Bastian and Felipe Fraga. 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans debut with Akkodis ASP in the LMGT3 class. 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship driver for Team WRT in the #31 BMW M4 GT3 EVO. FIA Silver-rated; 13 GTWC career wins and 29 GTWC Europe podiums. Biography Endurance racing exposes a leadership problem most boardrooms never see directly. Three drivers, one car, a shared radio and a result that depends on hours of disciplined handover. Boguslavskiy has spent his career inside that environment and at the top of it. In 2020 he won the GT World Challenge Europe overall championship, becoming the youngest overall champion in the series’ history. He repeated the feat in 2023, taking both the overall title and the Endurance Cup with Raffaele Marciello and Jules Gounon. Those are two of the most competitive seasons in modern GT racing, decided across short sprints and multi-hour endurance rounds. The career arc gives him recent, top-tier material. In 2024 he stepped up to the FIA World Endurance Championship with Akkodis ASP and contested the 24 Hours of Le Mans. For 2025 he joined Team WRT in the LMGT3 class, sharing a BMW M4 GT3 EVO with Augusto Farfus and Yasser Shahin, and the trio took podiums in Doha and Fuji during the season. The reason organisations book a driver of this profile is narrower than the topic label suggests. They want a credible inside view of how composure, repetition and team coordination are engineered at the level where any of those breaking down costs the result. Boguslavskiy has the current competitive record to offer that view firsthand. Key speaking topics High performance under competitive pressure Focus and composure in real-time decision-making Team coordination in multi-driver endurance racing Resilience after setbacks Risk management at speed Ideal for Leadership offsites where the agenda centres on composure and decision-making under pressure Sales kick-offs and high-performance team events looking for an authentic competitor’s perspective Automotive, motorsport-adjacent and partner-led brand events with a performance theme Audience outcomes A firsthand account of how elite drivers prepare for and recover from high-stakes moments A clearer view of how multi-person teams coordinate decisions when communication windows are short Specific examples from current FIA WEC and GT World Challenge Europe seasons, not generic motorsport anecdotes A reference point for talking about composure as a trained capability, not a personality trait

Why organisations work with TJ Power He gives wellbeing programmes a scientific spine. The DOSE framework names the specific neurochemistry behind motivation, connection, mood, and recovery, so HR and L&D leaders can move beyond generic mindfulness content. He addresses the dopamine and screen problem head-on, which is the single biggest unmanaged variable in workplace attention right now and the area most wellbeing speakers skirt. His material has been pressure-tested at scale: 650-plus live sessions across organisations including Amazon, Salesforce, Accenture, Coca-Cola, TikTok, the NHS, and academic institutions including Oxford, Harrow, and Le Rosey. The credibility is real and verifiable: Sunday Times bestseller, Waterstones Non-Fiction Book of the Month, peer-reviewed publication in the Journal of Cognition, lecturing record at the University of Exeter. Sessions are designed as gamified, interactive formats rather than lectures, so the habits stick beyond the room. Biography highlights Founder of the DOSE Lab and co-founder of Neurify, a neuroscience education organisation launched in 2022. Author of The DOSE Effect, Sunday Times bestseller and Waterstones Best Non-Fiction Book of the Month. Former lecturer at the University of Exeter, where he developed a third-year module on the neuroscience of mindfulness. Published research in the Journal of Cognition. Delivered 650-plus live neuroscience sessions to clients including Amazon, Salesforce, Accenture, Coca-Cola, TikTok, the NHS, Oxford University, Harrow School, and Le Rosey. Featured on ITV’s This Morning discussing digital habits and dopamine overload. Biography Modern work is colliding with a brain that was not built for it. Constant notifications, infinite scroll, and the dopamine economics of phones are eroding attention, recovery, and mood faster than most wellbeing programmes can respond. Power’s work starts here, with the neurochemistry that explains why so many people feel wired, distracted, and flat at the same time. His DOSE framework is built around four chemicals that govern how people feel and perform: dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins. Each maps to a specific organisational outcome. Dopamine sits behind motivation and focus; oxytocin behind trust and team connection; serotonin behind mood and confidence; endorphins behind resilience under load. Power names the daily behaviours that raise or drain each one, which gives leaders something concrete to act on. The credentials are substantive. He completed his degrees in psychology and neuroscience at the University of Exeter, lectured there on the neuroscience of mindfulness, and published in the Journal of Cognition. He went on to found the DOSE Lab and co-found Neurify, and his book The DOSE Effect became a Sunday Times bestseller and Waterstones Non-Fiction Book of the Month. The applied work is broad: 650-plus sessions delivered into Amazon, Salesforce, Accenture, Coca-Cola, TikTok, the NHS, Oxford, Harrow, and Le Rosey. What makes him useful in a corporate room is the translation layer. The science is real, but the takeaway is a short list of behaviours a finance team or a sales floor can actually run on Monday morning. Key speaking topics Neuroscience of attention and focus Dopamine overload and screen behaviour The DOSE framework for performance and wellbeing Mental health in the digital age Habit change and behavioural neuroscience Burnout, recovery, and resilience Workplace wellbeing strategy Ideal for CHROs, heads of L&D, and wellbeing leads designing the next phase of mental health programmes Leadership and high-performance teams looking for a scientifically grounded answer to attention loss and digital fatigue Sales, technology, and customer organisations where focus, motivation, and team connection are direct commercial inputs Education and healthcare organisations briefing staff on screen behaviour and youth mental health Audience outcomes A working mental model of the four brain chemicals that drive motivation, connection, mood, and resilience at work Specific daily habits, mapped to each chemical, that people can apply immediately A clear understanding of how phones, notifications, and digital habits are degrading attention and what to change Language and evidence that lets HR and leadership talk about wellbeing without resorting to soft framing A more honest read on the mental health pressures inside the organisation and the levers that actually move them

Why organisations work with Toby Makoyawo A current elite athlete competing at the front edge of NCAA Division I sprinting, not a retired professional reflecting on a finished career. The pressure he describes is the pressure he is still operating inside. A European U20 100m title and a Boston University school record at 10.12 seconds give him a specific credibility on the question of preparation, execution, and recovery in events decided by hundredths of a second. Combines elite competition with a full undergraduate degree at Boston University, which lets him speak credibly to early-career and graduate audiences about workload, discipline, and time as a finite resource. A diaspora background, born in Florida to Nigerian parents and raised in West London, that lets him speak naturally on inclusion and identity without the topic feeling bolted on. Biography highlights European U20 Champion, 100m, 2021, in a personal-best 10.25 seconds Boston University 100m and 60m school record holder, fastest sprinter in BU programme history NCAA Division I Second Team All-American British Olympic Trials 200m finalist at age 19 UK National Champion, U20 age category, 2021 Reading for an undergraduate degree at Boston University while competing at NCAA Division I level Biography Most sprint finals are decided in the first thirty metres and a leader’s first thirty seconds of a hard meeting are not that different. The capacity to be composed under public scrutiny is a trained capacity, and Toby Makoyawo trains it for a living. He is the fastest sprinter in Boston University’s history and a European U20 100m champion who is still in the middle of the work, not at the end of it. The substance of his story is preparation rather than highlights. A 10.25 second European junior title in 2021, a 10.12 second school record at the Texas Relays in 2022, and an All-American placing in NCAA Division I sit on top of a daily routine that includes coursework, training cycles, and the management of expectation that any 23-year-old at the front of a sport has to learn quickly. The route through is also distinctive. Born in Florida to Nigerian parents, raised in West London, and recruited into the American collegiate athletics system, he has had to learn how to perform inside three different cultural contexts. The relevance to a corporate audience is direct: graduate intake, early-career talent, and inclusion programmes all benefit from a speaker who can describe identity and high performance as the same conversation, not two separate ones. What he offers a room is not a finished career narrative. It is a current account of how an elite competitor manages the gap between training intent and competition reality, week after week, in a discipline where the margin of error is measured in hundredths of a second. Key speaking topics Performance under public pressure Goal-setting and long-horizon planning Identity, inclusion, and elite performance Discipline and time management Mental health in competitive environments Resilience after setback Ideal for Graduate intake and early-career talent programmes Diversity, inclusion, and belonging audiences inside large employers Sales and high-performance teams operating to public targets Sports, education, and youth-facing organisations Audience outcomes A working sense of how elite athletes prepare for moments measured in hundredths of a second Practical language for goal-setting, time discipline, and recovery from setback A first-person account of identity and high performance as a single conversation, not a parallel one Renewed engagement from younger and early-career audiences who recognise the speaker’s age, register, and trajectory

Why organisations work with Toby Moody Eighteen years as the voice of MotoGP on Eurosport, now leading the international TV feed and BT Sport’s 4K coverage, gives him a vocabulary for high-stakes live performance most speakers only describe second-hand. Eight Dakar Rally campaigns as lead international feed commentator, on site across three continents, mean his material on operating under fatigue, equipment failure and shifting conditions comes from inside the bivouac. Hands-on team experience as Media Manager for Prodrive’s Bahrain Raid Xtreme World Rally Raid team and consultant to KTM’s board for the Red Bull KTM MotoGP programme, not just an outside view of motorsport. Cross-code authority across MotoGP, the British Touring Car Championship, FIA World Endurance, the X Games and Red Bull Global RallyCross lets him tailor the same themes for engineering, logistics and sponsorship audiences. A trusted hospitality host for Audi Sport at Le Mans, Porsche Motorsport press conferences and Goodwood Festival of Speed, with the moderation and emcee craft to carry a corporate room as well as a paddock. Biography highlights Lead commentator on MotoGP for the international TV feed and on BT Sport’s MotoGP 4K coverage. Eighteen years as Eurosport’s MotoGP voice, with Julian Ryder as commentary partner for fourteen of those years. Eight-time lead international feed commentator on the Dakar Rally, on site. Lead ITV4 commentator for the British Touring Car Championship and British Superbike Championship. FIA World Endurance Championship and Le Mans 24 Hours commentary; X Games motorsports commentator for ESPN; Red Bull Global RallyCross lead commentator for NBC and Red Bull TV. Trackside commentator at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and Revival; Audi Sport presenter at the Le Mans 24-hour arena; Media Manager for Prodrive’s Bahrain Raid Xtreme Dakar team, 2022-2024. Biography The MotoGP race weekend runs to a brutal schedule. Free practice, qualifying, warm-up, race, with riders, engineers and broadcasters all working off the same timing screens. Someone has to make sense of it live, in English, for a global audience that will notice every mistake. For most of the modern MotoGP era, that voice has been Toby Moody’s. Moody began commentating at Shelsley Walsh hill climb at 18, after working as a mechanic at Benetton F1 and Prodrive in school holidays. A contact at Prodrive led to a MotoGP commentary slot in Spain that became eighteen years as the lead voice for Eurosport, with Julian Ryder as partner for fourteen of them. He now leads commentary on the MotoGP international TV feed and on BT Sport’s 4K coverage. The breadth around that core matters. Eight Dakar Rally campaigns as lead international feed commentator, on site across Africa, South America and Saudi Arabia. FIA World Endurance Championship and Le Mans commentary. ITV4 lead on the British Touring Car and British Superbike championships. X Games motorsports commentary for ESPN, and Red Bull Global RallyCross for NBC. Trackside roles at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and Revival. The point for corporate audiences is range: live performance pressure tested across very different sports, formats and cultures. He has also worked inside the teams, not only the broadcast booth. Canon Williams F1 PR in the early 1990s. Two British Rally titles with Nissan as PR. Media Manager for Prodrive’s Bahrain Raid Xtreme team in the World Rally Raid Championship from 2022 to 2024, working with Sebastien Loeb. Consultant to KTM’s board for the Red Bull KTM MotoGP team. That dual track, broadcast and team operations, is what gives his corporate material specificity that pure presenters do not have. Key speaking topics Live broadcasting and composure under pressure MotoGP, Dakar Rally and Le Mans paddock storytelling Team performance and decision-making in elite motorsport Motorsport sponsorship, hospitality and brand activation Conference moderation, emcee and after-dinner hosting Cross-code motorsport: bikes, cars, endurance and rally raid Ideal for Corporate hospitality and client events at MotoGP rounds, Le Mans, the Dakar Rally and Goodwood Sales kick-offs and annual conferences looking for a named motorsport voice to host or headline Engineering, operations and supply chain leadership audiences drawn to precision-under-pressure themes Automotive, motorcycle and motorsport sponsor activations needing an industry-trusted moderator Audience outcomes A practitioner’s view of how factory race teams prepare for events they cannot fully predict. Stories from inside the MotoGP paddock and the Dakar bivouac that make performance under pressure tangible. A clearer sense of how a single voice and a clear running order hold a long, volatile live event together. Material that lands with motorsport enthusiasts in the room and colleagues who have never watched a race.

Why organisations work with Tom Bowen An eight-year international career in one of the most physically and selectively demanding squad environments in elite sport, drawn on for what it teaches about standards inside a small team. A first-hand account of being named Olympic reserve for Tokyo 2020 and not getting on the field, used to talk about preparation, selection, and disappointment in terms a senior team will recognise. Direct experience competing for England at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games and the 2022 Rugby World Cup Sevens in Cape Town, alongside more than fifty World Rugby Sevens Series tournaments. A speaker pitched at the practical mechanics of teamwork and pressure, not a celebrity sports billing. Biography highlights Former England Sevens international made debut in October 2014 on the Gold Coast, Australia. Reserve in the Great Britain Rugby Sevens squad for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Selected for England at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games and the 2022 Rugby World Cup Sevens in Cape Town. Joined Plymouth Albion in 2012 from Leicester Tigers; top try-scorer for Plymouth Albion in 2013-14 and twice the club’s young player of the season. More than 50 tournaments for England on the World Rugby Sevens Series; signed for Worthing RFC in 2022. Biography A reserve player at the Olympics trains the same hours as the squad, makes the same sacrifices, and watches the tournament from the side of the pitch. Bowen sat in that seat at Tokyo 2020. The talk that comes out of it is less about the moment and more about the years before it: the eight-season England Sevens cycle that put him there. His club path runs through Leicester Tigers and Plymouth Albion, where he switched from centre to wing, scored six tries in his first eighteen RFU Championship appearances, and was named the club’s young player of the season twice in succession. He became Plymouth’s top try-scorer in 2013-14 before the England Sevens debut in October 2014. The international record is the substance of the booking. Fifty-plus tournaments on the World Rugby Sevens Series, the GB Olympic squad in Tokyo, England, at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, and the Rugby World Cup Sevens in Cape Town the same year. Sevens is a short, high-density format where small mistakes are decisive; the lessons travel reasonably well into corporate teams that work in short cycles under scrutiny. What he brings to a room is a working account of how a small group sustains its standards over a long competitive arc, including the years that do not produce a medal. He signed for Worthing RFC in 2022 and continues to coach. Key speaking topics Performance under pressure Team standards in elite sport Resilience after setback Selection, disappointment and recovery Teamwork in short-cycle, high-stakes environments Motivation and confidence Ideal for Sales and commercial leadership conferences focused on team performance and pressure Internal team away-days where leaders want a credible outside voice on standards and culture Early-career and high-potential audiences inside large organisations Audience outcomes A usable reference point for what disciplined, daily standards look like in an elite team environment A grounded view of what it means to prepare fully for an outcome that does not arrive Language for talking about pressure that goes beyond motivation and into specific habits Renewed focus on the role of small-team behaviours in larger organisational performance

Why organisations work with Tom Clark He works inside one of the most demanding performance environments in elite sport, around 250 days a year on the road with an F1 driver, and brings that operating reality directly into the room. His doctoral research at Liverpool John Moores University on jet lag and travel fatigue in F1 gives him a defensible scientific position on a topic most peak-performance speakers handle anecdotally. He has been part of a Hungarian Grand Prix victory at the level of preparation and recovery, so the marginal-gains argument is grounded in a specific outcome rather than a general claim. He translates Hintsa Performance methodology, the system that shaped modern F1 conditioning, into language and tools senior leaders can apply to their own travel and decision schedules. Biography highlights Head of Performance for Esteban Ocon at Alpine F1, since 2020. Professional Doctorate in Applied Sport and Exercise Science, Liverpool John Moores University, focused on jet lag and travel fatigue in elite motorsport. MSc Athletic Development and Peak Performance, Solent University; BSc Health and Exercise Science, First Class Honours, Solent University. Former performance coach at Hintsa Performance, the consultancy behind much of modern F1 athlete development. Worked alongside Esteban Ocon at his maiden Formula One race win, the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix. Adapted the LJMU Jet Lag Questionnaire into a digital monitoring platform used across an F1 season. Biography A Formula 1 season runs to roughly two dozen races across five continents. The driver is expected to perform at the limit of human reaction time on each one, often within forty-eight hours of landing. Tom Clark is the person who designs the conditions under which that is possible. As Head of Performance for Esteban Ocon at Alpine F1, Clark is responsible for the sleep, training, nutrition, and recovery system that holds a driver’s output steady across a calendar engineered for fatigue. He came into the sport through Hintsa Performance, the consultancy that built the modern playbook for F1 conditioning, and joined Alpine as Senior Performance Coach in 2020. He was part of the team at the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix, Ocon’s first Formula One race victory. His doctoral research at Liverpool John Moores University, supervised by Dr Ben Edwards, focuses on jet lag and travel fatigue in elite motorsport. With LJMU colleagues, Clark adapted the university’s Jet Lag Questionnaire into a digital tool used across the F1 season, turning a clinical instrument into operating data. That research connects directly to what senior business audiences face: cumulative time-zone shifts, compressed sleep, and the gap between feeling capable and being capable. What distinguishes him from the wider peak-performance category is the specificity. He is not a former athlete reflecting on a finished career. He is an operator describing a system he runs every weekend, with a named driver, in measurable conditions, and grounding it in published science. Key speaking topics Performance science in elite motorsport Jet lag and travel fatigue in high-stakes environments Circadian rhythms and sleep as performance variables Marginal gains and Formula 1 preparation methodology Mental resilience under continuous competition Routine design for sustained executive output Ideal for C-suite leaders and senior executives whose schedules involve frequent long-haul travel and sustained decision load Sales and commercial leadership teams operating across multiple time zones High-performance teams in finance, professional services, and global operations where output cannot drop with the calendar Leadership development programmes drawing on elite-sport methodology Audience outcomes A working understanding of how circadian disruption affects judgement, mood, and reaction time, and what the data actually shows Specific protocols used inside an F1 team to manage jet lag, sleep, and recovery across long-haul travel A clearer line between preparation and performance, drawn from Formula 1 race weekends rather than business analogy Practical adjustments to routine, light exposure, training, and nutrition that senior leaders can apply inside an existing schedule An honest sense of where marginal gains move the needle and where they do not

Why organisations work with Tom Turcich His credibility is not analogical: it is verifiable. The world walk is ranked in a finite historical list of ten people, documented in a published memoir, and covered by CNN, BBC, Good Morning America, The Guardian, and The Today Show. Seven continuous years of forward motion without a salary, fixed team, or guaranteed outcome offers a model of value-driven decision-making that is directly applicable to organisations sustaining long-term transformation. His Circle of Possibility framework reframes constraints as inputs to problem-solving rather than barriers to progress, making his content directly usable by teams operating under resource pressure or strategic uncertainty. The journey was values-led from day one: Turcich navigated every decision – including years of solitude, a global pandemic, and active conflict zones – by a clear internal compass. That makes his framework credible for organisations focused on purpose-driven culture rather than performance management alone. Biography highlights Tenth person in recorded history to complete a circumnavigation of the globe on foot Seven-year, 28,000-mile journey across six continents and 38 countries, beginning April 2015 His rescue dog Savannah became the first dog ever to walk around the world Author of The World Walk (Skyhorse Publishing, 2024), a full-length memoir of the expedition Featured by CNN, BBC, Good Morning America, The Guardian, and The Today Show Author of the Savannah’s World of Adventure children’s book series Biography Most people’s resilience is tested in months. Tom Turcich spent seven years walking 28,000 miles across six continents and 38 countries; a journey that placed him in the historically small group of ten people ever recorded to have circled the globe on foot. That context is not incidental to his work with organisations. It is the evidence. The walk began the day before his 26th birthday, prompted by the death of a close friend that forced a reckoning with how a life should be spent. It ended in May 2022. Along the way, Turcich navigated deserts, conflict zones, a global pandemic, and sustained solitude; guided not by a fixed itinerary but by a set of core values he had articulated before he left. His memoir, The World Walk (Skyhorse Publishing, 2024), documents both the physical journey and the decision-making architecture that sustained it. For organisations, the relevance lies not in the spectacle of the achievement but in its mechanics. His talks, built around the Circle of Possibility framework, address the specific tension between ambitious long-term goals and the daily reality of setback, discomfort, and unclear progress. The same principles that kept him moving across the Andes and through Central Asia translate directly to teams operating under sustained strategic pressure. His story has been covered by CNN, BBC, Good Morning America, The Guardian, and The Today Show. The World Walk received endorsements from two New York Times bestselling authors. A second non-fiction book, applying the lessons of the walk to organisational and professional life, is in progress.

Why organisations work with Tracey Neville She has the rare credential of turning a chronically second-tier national team into a major-tournament winner inside one Games cycle, against opponents with deeper systems and bigger budgets. She speaks credibly about selection, the hardest part of senior leadership, because she made the call to drop senior England players whose form had slipped, and held the room through it. Her coaching record holds up to scrutiny: Superleague titles at Manchester Thunder, three Netball Europe Open Championships, World Cup medals at both ends of her England tenure, and gold at the Commonwealth Games. An MBE for services to netball and a continuing senior coaching role in Australia’s Super Netball mean her authority is current, not retrospective. Biography highlights Head Coach, England Netball, 2015 to 2019. Gold medal, 2018 Commonwealth Games. Bronze medals, 2015 and 2019 Netball World Cups, as Head Coach. Head Coach, Manchester Thunder; Netball Superleague champions, 2012 and 2014. MBE, 2016, for services to netball. 81 senior caps for England as a player; bronze at the 1998 Commonwealth Games and 1999 World Championships. Sky Sports netball pundit; Vitality ambassador; current senior coaching role in Australia’s Super Netball. Biography England had never beaten Australia or New Zealand to win a major netball title. In April 2018, on the Gold Coast, the team Tracey Neville had taken over three years earlier as an interim appointment beat Australia in the final by a single goal. That result reset the order of a sport that two countries had owned for forty years. The job she walked into in 2015 was a programme that had earned bronzes and lost finals. Neville had a Superleague pedigree from Manchester Thunder, where she had won the domestic title twice, and 81 England caps as a player, but no senior international head coaching record. She made the appointment permanent inside six months by taking England to bronze at the 2015 World Cup, then spent the next two years rebuilding selection, fitness standards, and the squad’s tolerance for being told it was not yet good enough. What she offers corporate audiences is the substance of how that rebuild was done. The recognisable parts of high-performance coaching, marginal gains and culture work, sit underneath harder questions about who plays, who is dropped, who is told the truth about their form, and how a head coach holds the room when those decisions are unpopular. She is direct about the cost of those calls, including her own, which gives senior leaders a usable account of selection and accountability rather than a motivational set piece. Her authority is also current. After leaving England in 2019 she moved into senior coaching roles in Australia’s Super Netball, the strongest domestic league in the sport, which is the same competitive environment she beat at the Commonwealth Games. She holds an MBE for services to netball and continues as a Sky Sports pundit on the international game.

Why organisations work with Tracy Edwards A first-hand account of leading a crew that the sailing establishment, the press, and most sponsors had publicly written off, and bringing them home with two leg wins and a second in class. Specific decision-making material from a multi-month operation where every choice carried a real risk, useful for leadership audiences who normally talk about pressure in the abstract. A founder’s perspective on building The Maiden Factor Foundation, a working girls’ education charity with an active global tour, not a one-off cause attached to a speaking career. The subject of the Sony Pictures Classics documentary Maiden, which gives audiences shared visual reference points before the talk begins and lifts the room’s engagement from the first minute. A lived view of what gender exclusion does to a team’s operating conditions, drawn from inside a male-dominated sport in the late 1980s rather than from policy commentary. Biography highlights Skipper of Maiden, the first all-female entry in the Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race, 1989-90, second in class with two leg wins. First woman to win the Yachtsman of the Year Trophy in its 34-year history. Appointed MBE in 1990. Founder of The Maiden Factor Foundation, supporting community education programmes for girls globally. Subject of Maiden, the 2018 Alex Holmes documentary distributed by Sony Pictures Classics, 98 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Author of Living Every Second, autobiography published by Hodder and Stoughton. Biography The 1989 Whitbread Round the World Race was supposed to settle a long-running argument in offshore sailing: whether women could complete one of the hardest endurance races in any sport. The Maiden crew, twelve women on a second-hand 58-foot yacht, finished second in class and won two of the six legs. The skipper, who had mortgaged her house to put the campaign together, was 26. The interest for senior leadership audiences is not the romance of that achievement but its operating reality. Sponsors had refused the project for two years. Sailing media openly predicted the crew would not finish the first leg. Tracy Edwards led a team that had to perform under the assumption it would fail, with finance, equipment, and reputation all running against it. The lessons translate cleanly to leaders running underdog projects inside large organisations. After the race, Edwards was appointed MBE and became the first woman in a 34-year history to receive the Yachtsman of the Year Trophy. She published the autobiography Living Every Second in 2001 and later founded The Maiden Factor Foundation, which uses the restored yacht as a working platform for girls’ education campaigns, with a focus on STEM access in developing countries. The 2018 documentary Maiden, directed by Alex Holmes and released by Sony Pictures Classics, brought the story back into the public conversation and gave a new generation of corporate audiences a shared reference point. The talk works because the underlying material is concrete: a crew, a boat, a race, a set of decisions taken under conditions most boardrooms will never see.
