Resilience & Stress Management

Why organisations work with The Tempest Two A two-handed delivery rooted in shared, verifiable experience. Most resilience content is told solo. The duo dynamic, including dialogue and disagreement on stage, lands as conversation rather than lecture. The Atlantic row, Patagonia ultra-triathlon and El Capitan ascent are all self-funded, self-organised expeditions started without the relevant skills. The lesson on agency is structurally different from a story told by a former soldier or elite athlete. Operating discipline behind the talks. Through Dose, the same lessons are productised into workplace programmes for clients such as Nike, BNY Mellon, IBM and Airbnb, so a keynote can sit inside a wider engagement rather than ending at the closing slide. Tonal range commercial buyers actually want. The act works on a sales kick-off stage, an EMEA marketing conference or an internal wellbeing day without code-switching, which is rare in the adventure-speaker field. Biography highlights 3,000-mile unaided ocean row from the Canary Islands to Barbados, completed in 54 days, with no prior rowing or sailing experience. World-first ultra-triathlon across Patagonia in 2017: 1,600km cycle, 65km Huemul Circuit run, 100km stand-up paddleboard descent of the La Leona river. Winter ascent of Mont Blanc and El Capitan summit in Yosemite, the latter on roughly 18 months of climbing experience. Co-founders of Dose, a workplace wellbeing company working with Nike, BNY Mellon, IBM and Airbnb among others. Keynote clients include Google, Microsoft, JP Morgan, Heineken, Vodafone, Red Bull, Dropbox, Tesco, Waitrose & Partners, NatWest and Gymshark. Hosts of The Tempest Two Pod on adventure, mindset and performance. Biography Two friends in marketing jobs decided to row the Atlantic. Neither had sat in a rowing boat. Fifty-four days after leaving the Canary Islands, James Whittle and Tom Caulfield reached Barbados, having met the first hurricane to form in the Atlantic in fifty years on the way. The story matters because the starting point was ordinary, which is the point of every keynote that has followed. What came next was a deliberate run of self-organised expeditions: a winter ascent of Mont Blanc, a climb of El Capitan, a London-to-Sahara motorbike ride, and a self-styled world-first ultra-triathlon across Patagonia stitching together a 1,600km cycle, the 65km Huemul Circuit and a 100km paddleboard descent of the La Leona river. None were undertaken with the relevant elite credentials beforehand. That gap, between what they could obviously do and what they did anyway, became the working material. In 2018 they built Dose, a workplace wellbeing and performance company, around the same idea. Resilience and growth mindset are taught not as motivational concepts but as practices for teams under load. Clients include Nike, BNY Mellon, IBM and Airbnb. The keynote and the operating business reinforce each other; an event can lead to a programme rather than a one-off morale lift. The act sits in a specific commercial niche. It is not pure adventure inspiration, and it is not corporate consulting in disguise. It is a two-person performance for the part of an organisation that has heard the resilience message before and stopped listening, told by two people who keep proving the premise on themselves. Key speaking topics Growth mindset Resilience under pressure Team performance and trust Operating outside the comfort zone Embracing risk and failure Courage-based leadership Workplace wellbeing and engagement Ideal for CHROs and heads of employee engagement designing resilience and wellbeing programmes that need a credible opening moment. Sales, marketing and commercial leadership running annual kick-offs that need energy without slipping into hype. Culture and L&D leads looking for keynote content that can be extended into team workshops rather than ending at applause. Founder-led and high-growth companies whose teams are carrying sustained pressure and need a shared language for it. Audience outcomes A working definition of growth mindset that survives contact with a hard week back in the office. Specific habits the duo use to prepare for, push through and recover from extended pressure, transferable to a team context. A reframing of failure and risk that gives more junior staff permission to act with higher agency. A shared reference point across a team that lasts beyond the event, often picked up by Dose programming where it follows.

Why organisations work with Tommy Caulfield Stories with receipts. The Atlantic crossing, the Patagonia ultra triathlon, and the El Capitan climb are documented adventures, not platform anecdotes, which gives the resilience material an evidence base most motivational keynotes do not have. The “ordinary person” frame. Caulfield was a content marketer with no endurance background before any of this. That makes the material legible to a non-elite audience in a way that ex-military and Olympic speakers often are not. A specific intellectual hook in High Agency. The signature talk reframes resilience as ownership and decisive action under ambiguity, which gives people teams a more useful organising idea than “be resilient.” A corporate client list that signals fit. Repeat work with Google, Microsoft, JP Morgan, Airbnb, Nike, Dropbox, BNY Mellon, and Gymshark indicates the content travels across sectors and seniority levels. Biography highlights Co-founder of The Tempest Two with James Whittle, the speaking and adventure partnership formed after their 2015 Atlantic crossing. Rowed 3,000 miles across the Atlantic unaided in 54 days, from the Canary Islands to Barbados, with no prior rowing experience. Completed a world-first ultra triathlon in Patagonia: 1,600km cycle, 65km mountain run, and a 100km stand-up paddleboard descent of the La Leona river between Lakes Viedma and Argentino. Climbed El Capitan in Yosemite with 36 months’ climbing experience. Co-founder of Dose, a workplace wellbeing company whose clients have included Nike, BNY Mellon, IBM, and Airbnb. Host of The Tempest Two Pod, a podcast on adventure mindset. Corporate keynote clients include Google, Microsoft, JP Morgan, Dropbox, Heineken, Gymshark, and Rapid7. Biography Most resilience content fails the room within five minutes. The audience has heard the abstract version. They have done the workshop. What they have not heard is someone who can describe what changes in the head when a 7-metre rowing boat capsizes 1,500 miles from land in a hurricane, and then say something useful about Monday morning. That is the slot Tommy Caulfield fills. He and James Whittle, who together form The Tempest Two, rowed 3,000 miles unaided across the Atlantic in 2015 with no prior rowing experience. They followed it with a world-first ultra triathlon across Patagonia in 2017: a 1,600km cycle, a 65km mountain run, and a 100km stand-up paddleboard descent of the La Leona river. They climbed El Capitan in 2019 with three years of climbing experience between them. The keynote work draws on those expeditions, but the proposition is structural rather than anecdotal. The signature talk, High Agency, treats ownership and decisive action under ambiguity as a learnable workplace skill, not a personality trait. It is built for audiences who are tired of being told to be resilient and want a more specific mental model. The corporate adoption supports the case. Caulfield has delivered repeat keynotes for Google, Microsoft, JP Morgan, Airbnb, Nike, Dropbox, BNY Mellon, Gymshark, and Heineken, and co-founded the workplace wellbeing company Dose, which has worked with Nike, BNY Mellon, IBM, and Airbnb. The “ordinary person” framing is the differentiator: no elite athletic background, no military service, no academic credential. The credibility lives in the expeditions themselves and the room responses they produce. Key speaking topics Resilience and performance under pressure High agency and ownership at work Growth mindset Team performance in adversity Adventure mindset and behaviour change Decision-making under uncertainty Ideal for People and culture leaders looking for resilience and mindset content that lands with a mid-career audience. Sales, customer, and high-pressure operating teams running annual kick-offs or away-days. HR and L&D teams designing wellbeing or performance programmes that need a credible external opener. Conference programmes wanting an adventure-led keynote with a corporate client track record rather than a pure inspirational slot. Audience outcomes A working definition of high agency that an audience can apply to their own decisions, not a generic call to be more resilient. A felt sense of what mindset under prolonged pressure actually looks like, drawn from documented expeditions rather than abstract examples. Specific habits and decision routines used to keep moving through setbacks, capsizes, and prolonged adversity. A reset of what “ordinary” people are capable of when the frame shifts from experience to ownership.

Why organisations work with James Whittle A first-person account of decision-making after 54 days of unsupported ocean rowing, three days on the wall of El Capitan, and a world-first Patagonia triathlon, drawn on directly rather than borrowed from research. A deliberate “started from zero” frame that lands with workforces who are tired of being shown ex-special-forces or Olympic-medallist case studies and find them remote. A track record of repeat work with Nike, Google, Microsoft, JP Morgan, Heineken and Airbnb, which gives buyers reassurance that the material survives a senior corporate audience. A second business, Dose, built around translating expedition lessons into ongoing workplace wellbeing programmes for clients including BNY Mellon and IBM, so the keynote sits inside a wider intervention rather than a one-off appearance. A speaking partnership with Tom Caulfield that allows two-handed delivery, useful for offsites and team experiences where a single-voice keynote would not hold the room. Biography highlights Co-founder, The Tempest Two, the speaking and adventure partnership with Tom Caulfield. Co-founder, Dose, a workplace wellbeing company working with Nike, BNY Mellon, IBM and Airbnb. Rowed the Atlantic unsupported, Canary Islands to Barbados, 3,000 miles in 54 days, with no prior rowing experience. World-first ultra-triathlon across Patagonia: 1,600km cycle, 65km mountain run, 100km stand-up paddleboard descent of the La Leona River. Climbed El Capitan in Yosemite, encountering Alex Honnold and Tommy Caldwell on the wall. Speaking client list includes Google, Nike, Airbnb, JP Morgan, Microsoft, Heineken, Red Bull and Vodafone. Biography The honest version of resilience is not a poster on an office wall. It is what someone does on day forty of an Atlantic crossing when the water-maker has failed and the next port is still two weeks away. That is the territory The Tempest Two have spent the better part of a decade walking into on purpose. The duo, James Whittle and Tom Caulfield, started with no rowing experience and crossed 3,000 miles of ocean in 54 days. They followed it with a world-first ultra-triathlon in Patagonia and three days on the granite face of El Capitan. The pattern is deliberate: pick a discipline neither of them has practised, give themselves enough runway to learn it, and put the result in front of a corporate audience as material on how ordinary people make hard decisions under load. That positioning is what gives the work its commercial weight. Most adventure speakers come from a military or elite-sport background that audiences quietly discount as unreachable. The Tempest Two reject that framing on principle, which is why their keynote travels into rooms at Nike, Google, Microsoft, JP Morgan and Heineken without losing the audience halfway through. Whittle’s second business, Dose, takes the same lessons and converts them into structured workplace wellbeing programmes for clients including BNY Mellon, IBM and Airbnb. The keynote is the front door; the operating model behind it is closer to a sustained intervention on team energy and recovery than a one-time motivational booking. Key speaking topics Resilience under sustained pressure Decision-making in degraded conditions Team performance on long-duration projects Risk and the comfort zone Wellbeing as a performance variable Adventure-led leadership development Ideal for HR and people leaders running offsites focused on team energy and recovery Sales and commercial leadership conferences where the brief is grit and momentum, not strategy content Programme leads on long-duration transformations who need to address fatigue head-on Senior all-hands events that need a non-corporate voice to shift the register Audience outcomes A concrete picture of how a small team makes decisions when the original plan has stopped working A vocabulary for resilience that does not collapse into platitude A reset on the difference between high-effort discomfort and actual risk A reason to look at recovery and energy management as a leadership concern, not a personal one

Why organisations work with Laura Muir A medal record across three Olympic cycles (Rio 2016, Tokyo 2020 silver, Paris 2024 fifth with a Scottish record) that demonstrates sustained performance rather than a single peak moment. The only British athlete to win five European Indoor Championship golds, evidence of a planning and preparation system that produces results year after year. Lived experience of running a parallel high-stakes track: completed her veterinary medicine degree at Glasgow while training at world-class level, a story of capacity management rather than balance. Direct access to the methods behind composure in finals where the British record, an Olympic medal, and global attention are decided inside four minutes. Biography highlights Olympic 1500m silver medallist, Tokyo 2020, in a British record 3:54.50. Two-time outdoor European 1500m champion (Berlin 2018, Munich 2022) and 2022 World Championships 1500m bronze medallist. Five European Indoor Championship gold medals, a British record, including a 1500m and 3000m double in Glasgow 2019. 2022 Commonwealth Games 1500m gold and 800m bronze for Team Scotland. Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, University of Glasgow, graduated 2018. MBE for services to athletics, 2019 New Year Honours. Biography The 1500 metres is decided in just under four minutes. There is no second leg, no team-mate to hand off to, and no plausible recovery from a poor tactical call inside the final lap. The athletes who medal repeatedly at that distance are the ones who have built a system that holds when the stakes are at their highest. Laura Muir has medalled at three Olympic cycles in that event, including silver at Tokyo 2020 in a British record of 3:54.50 and a fifth-place Scottish record in the Paris 2024 final. She holds five European Indoor Championship gold medals, the most of any British athlete, and is a two-time outdoor European champion. The 2022 World Championships in Eugene added a bronze, and the same year brought Commonwealth Games gold in the 1500m and bronze over 800m. That run of results comes from a planning culture more than from inspiration. The same period covered her veterinary medicine degree at the University of Glasgow, completed in 2018, and an MBE for services to athletics the following year. The discipline she describes when talking about competition is the discipline she used to run two careers in parallel. For senior audiences, the relevant content is not the medals themselves but the operating method behind them: how a small team builds a season around a single race, how composure is rehearsed rather than summoned, and how recovery from a disappointing championship becomes the input to the next cycle’s plan. Key speaking topics Performance under pressure Goal setting and long-range planning Resilience and recovery from setback Composure in high-stakes moments Capacity management across parallel commitments Team and coach relationships in individual sport Motivation and discipline over a long career Ideal for Senior leaders and executive teams under sustained performance scrutiny Sales, trading, and commercial functions where individual high-stakes moments determine results Talent and learning leaders designing development programmes for high-potential staff Conference audiences at annual kickoffs, partner meetings, and recognition events Audience outcomes A working picture of how elite performers plan and rehearse for moments that last minutes but define a year. Specific methods for managing composure when the audience and the cost of error are both large. A credible account of how to sustain output across multiple cycles, not a single peak. A clear view of what capacity management looks like when two demanding tracks are being run at once.

Why organisations work with Kadeena Cox A first-hand account of rebuilding performance from zero after a stroke and an MS diagnosis at 23, then competing at world-record level across two different Paralympic sports. Substantive content on inclusion in elite environments, drawn from founding and running the KC Academy in partnership with the Rapha Foundation and SportsAid. A track record that is publicly verifiable at the highest level of British sport: golds at Rio 2016, Tokyo 2020, and Paris 2024, plus OBE in 2022. Direct experience of the daily decision-making required when a body and a schedule cannot be relied on, which translates cleanly into leadership audiences operating under sustained uncertainty. Biography highlights Five-time Paralympic gold medallist (Rio 2016, Tokyo 2020, Paris 2024) in athletics and cycling First British Paralympian since 1984 to win golds in two different sports at the same Games OBE for services to athletics and cycling (2022); MBE (2017) Founder of the KC Academy, in partnership with the Rapha Foundation and SportsAid Winner, BBC Celebrity MasterChef Series 16 (2021) World record holder, C4 500m time trial Biography The Rio 2016 Paralympics produced an outcome no British athlete had achieved in 32 years. Kadeena Cox won gold in two different sports at the same Games, in T38 400m athletics and C4-5 500m cycling, two years after a stroke and a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis at the age of 23. The cycling time was faster than any able-bodied Team GB rider had produced at an Olympic or Paralympic Games. Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 added further golds, including a world record in the C4 500m time trial and a team sprint title alongside Jaco van Gass and Jody Cundy. The arc matters less for the medal count than for what it required operationally: training programmes built around a condition that does not behave predictably, and a competitive schedule that had to absorb that reality without losing edge. In 2021 Cox founded the KC Academy, which works with SportsAid and is supported by the Rapha Foundation to identify and fund cyclists from ethnically diverse backgrounds entering the British high-performance pathway. She is the only Black British cyclist to have won Olympic or Paralympic gold, and the Academy is her response to the structural reasons that statistic exists. Her speaking work draws on both strands: the discipline of competing when the body is unreliable, and the institutional work of changing who gets to be in the room at elite level. She was appointed OBE in 2022 for services to athletics and cycling, having received the MBE in 2017. Key speaking topics Resilience and recovery after diagnosis Composure and decision-making under physical and competitive pressure Inclusion as a high-performance capability Building structures for underrepresented talent Mental health and sustained performance Adapting goals when conditions change Ideal for Leadership offsites and conferences focused on resilience, change, or sustained performance under pressure DEI, talent and culture leads working on inclusion in high-performance settings Employee resource groups, particularly disability, race, and wellbeing networks Internal events marking transitions, restructures, or recovery moments Audience outcomes A concrete sense of what resilience looks like as a daily operational practice, not a value statement A reframed view of inclusion as a performance lever, grounded in the KC Academy’s specific work Honest language for talking about mental health and physical limits inside high-pressure teams Renewed confidence in setting ambitious goals when the operating environment is unstable

Why organisations work with Jodie Burrage She speaks from inside the experience of considering whether to walk away, then choosing not to. That is a different conversation from generic motivational content, and audiences feel the difference. Her examples are dated, specific and verifiable: a top-five win over Paula Badosa, a Wimbledon main-draw debut victory, an all-British WTA final, and a near full ankle ligament rupture in training that cost her a Grand Slam season. She covers mental health from the position of someone who broke down in a training session in 2024 and went back the next day. The credibility on pressure and stress comes from the record, not from a wellness framework. She is a current player, not a retired figurehead. The recovery story is live, which makes the material useful to teams facing their own in-flight setbacks rather than retrospective. Biography highlights Career-high WTA singles ranking of world No. 85, reached in September 2023 Reached the 2023 Nottingham Open final, the first all-British WTA final since 1977 WTA Tour doubles champion at the 2023 Transylvania Open with Jil Teichmann First Grand Slam main-draw singles win at Wimbledon 2023 against Caty McNally Top-five career win over Paula Badosa at the 2022 Eastbourne International Represented Great Britain in the Billie Jean King Cup including the 2026 qualifier against Australia in Melbourne Biography Three ankle surgeries before the age of twenty would have ended most playing careers. Burrage came back from them, broke into the world top 100 in 2023, and reached an all-British WTA final at Nottingham against Katie Boulter, the first of its kind since 1977. The same year she recorded her first Grand Slam main-draw singles win at Wimbledon against Caty McNally and lifted a WTA Tour doubles title in Cluj-Napoca with Jil Teichmann. The 2024 season is the part of the story audiences tend to remember. Wrist surgery in February was followed, just as she was returning, by a near full rupture of her ATFL ankle ligament in a training session with Boulter. She missed the French Open, the grass-court season and Wimbledon. She has since said publicly that she considered retirement during that recovery and broke down mid-session asking how much fight she had left. The material she brings to corporate audiences is built on that ground. The career-high ranking of No. 85, the top-five win over Paula Badosa at Eastbourne in 2022, and her Billie Jean King Cup appearances for Great Britain through to the 2026 qualifier against Australia all sit inside a record of repeated injury and return. She talks about pressure, public accountability and the daily decision to keep going as someone still actively making that decision on the WTA Tour. For leaders who have to ask teams to perform through restructure, setback or sustained uncertainty, the value is the realism. Burrage does not present resilience as a state. She describes it as a series of small choices made on bad days, with the scoreboard public the following week. Key speaking topics Self-leadership under pressure Resilience and recovery from setback Mental health in high-performance environments Goal setting and personal accountability Performing in the public eye Team environments and individual responsibility Ideal for Sales, trading and other performance-measured teams operating under public or visible scorecards HR, talent and L&D leaders building wellbeing and mental health content with credibility beyond the wellness sector Leaders running organisations through restructure, layoffs or sustained operational pressure Early-career and high-potential audiences facing first encounters with public failure Audience outcomes A concrete account of how a current professional athlete makes the decision to continue after setback, rather than an abstract framework Language for talking about mental health in performance settings without softening it into wellness A working definition of accountability when results are visible and the next attempt is days away A reference point for resilience grounded in dated, verifiable career events rather than metaphor

Why organisations work with Annabell Fuller A live competitor’s account of decision-making under public pressure, drawn from major championship cuts at Carnoustie and a top-three finish at a USD 5 million LET event, not retrospective reflection from a retired career. Specific, sport-grounded language for what self-leadership looks like in the seconds before a high-stakes call, useful for leaders briefing teams on composure rather than wellbeing. A credible voice on the gap between physical preparation and competitive output, drawn from CrossFit-led conditioning work integrated into a professional golf schedule. A generational perspective on performing in public view at twenty-three, relevant to organisations thinking about early-career talent expected to operate under scrutiny. Biography highlights Ladies European Tour professional since 2024; tied 5th at LET Q-School to earn her card. 3rd place at the PIF Saudi Ladies International 2025, a USD 5 million LET event. Made the cut at the 2021 AIG Women’s Open at Carnoustie as one of only three amateurs that year. Three-time Curtis Cup player for Great Britain and Ireland (2018, 2021, 2022). Two-time European Ladies’ Team Championship gold medallist for England (2021, 2022). 2020 English Women’s Open Amateur Stroke Play Champion; University of Florida NCAA golfer 2020 to 2023. Biography A senior team will commit hundreds of hours of training to a decision that takes two seconds to execute in public. The question of what holds a performer together in that window is rarely treated as a discipline. Annabell Fuller has spent her career inside it. Fuller earned her Ladies European Tour card at Q-School in December 2023 with a tied-5th finish, then spent her rookie 2024 season learning to convert preparation into tour-level scoring. Her strongest result so far, third place at the PIF Saudi Ladies International in 2025, came at a USD 5 million LET event where the field included most of the tour’s established names. The amateur record behind her is the credential most useful to a board audience. She made the cut at the 2021 Women’s British Open at Carnoustie as one of only three amateurs, won the English Women’s Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship in 2020, and represented Great Britain and Ireland three times in the Curtis Cup. At the University of Florida she won the Florida Gator Invitational and reached the world’s top 25 in the amateur rankings. What sits underneath those results, and what she speaks about, is the conditioning behind composure: how a competitor builds a decision process that survives the moment a tournament tightens. The talks lean on CrossFit-integrated physical preparation, public accountability at twenty-three, and the specific discipline of recovering from a poor shot quickly enough to compete on the next one. Key speaking topics Composure and decision-making under public pressure Self-leadership in elite competition Physical preparation and performance conditioning Resilience after setback Team performance in individual sport Early-career performance under scrutiny Ideal for Sales leadership conferences focused on quota delivery under pressure Early-career and high-potential talent programmes inside large organisations Executive offsites built around composure and decision-making rather than strategy Employee networks and ERG events on women in performance environments Audience outcomes A working language for what composure under pressure actually involves, drawn from competition rather than coaching theory. A clearer picture of how physical conditioning links to mental performance in a demanding role. Specific examples of recovering from public setbacks fast enough to perform on the next attempt. A credible account of operating under public scrutiny at the start of a career.

Why organisations work with Georgia-Mae Fenton She has won the same individual event at consecutive Commonwealth Games, four years apart, the first gymnast in the discipline to do so. That is direct experience of defending a peak, which is harder than reaching one. Her team’s World Championship silver in Liverpool in 2022 was the best result by a British women’s artistic gymnastics team in the history of the World Championships. She can speak credibly to what changes inside a high-performing group at the moment the standard moves. She made her Olympic debut at Paris 2024 in her mid-twenties after several years of being the established figure in the squad. The arc is later than most assume, and that is the substance of her recovery and persistence material. East London based, comfortable in school, community and corporate audiences without changing register. Useful for organisations that want a high-profile athlete who reads the room. Biography highlights Commonwealth Games gold, uneven bars and team, Birmingham 2022. Commonwealth Games gold, uneven bars, Gold Coast 2018. World Championships silver, team, Liverpool 2022, with Great Britain. Team GB women’s artistic gymnastics, Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Trained from age five at South Essex Gymnastics Club; competes for Great Britain and England. Represented by Forte Model Management alongside her competitive career. Biography The uneven bars demand absolute composure inside an eight-second routine where one missed catch ends the competition. Georgia-Mae Fenton has stood on the top of the Commonwealth podium for that event twice, four years apart, in Gold Coast and Birmingham. That is a rare thing in any sport: holding a championship standard across a full Olympic cycle of injury risk, selection politics and shifting code requirements. The Liverpool World Championships in 2022 was the broader inflection point. Fenton was part of the five-woman Great Britain team that took silver, the strongest result a British women’s artistic gymnastics team has ever produced at a World Championship. That medal also booked the team’s quota place for Paris 2024. At Paris she made her Olympic debut as one of the more experienced figures in a young Team GB quintet that finished fourth, edged off the podium by Brazil in the final rotation. The arc from junior British champion at fifteen, to Commonwealth gold at seventeen, to Olympian at twenty-three, is the substance she draws on when she speaks about persistence and re-entry after long stretches of work with no obvious return. She works with corporate, school and community audiences from her base in East London. The material is grounded in what she has actually done: holding a routine when it counts, going back to the same event a second time after winning it once, and recovering form after the years when the medals do not come. Key speaking topics Composure under high-stakes performance pressure Defending a peak across long performance cycles Recovery and re-entry after setback Discipline and goal-setting in elite sport Team dynamics inside a high-performing squad Mental health and stress management for young performers Role models and visibility in women’s sport Ideal for Corporate audiences in sectors with high-pressure delivery cycles (sales, trading, professional services) HR and talent leaders programming on resilience, wellbeing and early-career performance Schools, universities and youth-facing organisations focused on aspiration and persistence Women’s networks and ERGs commissioning speakers on visibility in sport Audience outcomes A concrete view of what composure looks like inside an eight-second performance window, told by someone who has executed it on the world stage The mechanics of preparing to defend a title, which is different in kind from preparing to win one Honest material on the years when the medals do not come and the work continues A grounded perspective on managing public expectation as a young woman in elite sport

Why organisations work with Jade Jones She is the only athlete to have won Olympic taekwondo gold for Britain, and she did it twice, at 19 and at 23, against the world’s best Korean and Chinese fighters in their own sport. She speaks from a 13-year competitive career at the top of a sport with no margin for off-days, which gives weight when she talks about pressure, preparation, and the psychology of repeat performance. Her trajectory through Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 first-round exits, then a complete sport change to professional boxing at 31, gives her a credible vocabulary on setback and reinvention that most decorated athletes do not have. Awarded both an MBE and an OBE by the Crown for services to taekwondo and sport, recognition that signals public-record stature rather than bureau framing. Biography highlights Olympic gold medallist, women’s 57 kg taekwondo: London 2012 and Rio 2016. World Champion, 57 kg, Manchester 2019. Three-time European Champion (2016, 2018, 2021). Two-time European Games champion (2015, 2023). Ten career gold medals across World Taekwondo Grand Prix events between 2014 and 2023. MBE (2013) and OBE (2020) for services to taekwondo and sport. Twice named BBC Wales Sports Personality of the Year (2012, 2016); Flint Pavilion Leisure Centre renamed in her honour. Professional boxing debut, 7 March 2026, Misfits Duel 2 in Derby; second-round knockout victory over Egypt Criss. Biography Team GB had never won an Olympic taekwondo medal of any colour when Jones walked into the ExCeL arena for the women’s 57 kg final at London 2012. She walked out at 19 as Team GB’s first taekwondo Olympic champion and the youngest member of that Games’ British gold cohort. Four years later in Rio, she defended the title against Spain’s Eva Calvo, beating her 16-7 to become the only British fighter ever to win two Olympic taekwondo golds. The two-Games haul is the headline. The career underneath it is the substance. She won her first World Championship in Manchester in 2019 against the defending champion. She holds three European titles and two European Games titles. She collected ten World Grand Prix golds across nearly a decade of competition, the kind of record that requires a person to be peaking on demand at three or four major events a year for most of their twenties. That record also includes the two losses that matter. First-round exits at Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024, after a year of training in her own garage during the pandemic and a second cycle as the marked favourite. The recovery vocabulary she uses on stage is not borrowed; it is what she did to keep competing after each of them. In March 2025 she retired from taekwondo and signed with former professional boxer Stephen Smith to train for a boxing career. Her stated target is to become a world champion in two sports. She made her professional debut at Misfits Duel 2 in Derby on 7 March 2026 and won by second-round knockout. The point for a corporate audience is the willingness to start again from the bottom of a different sport at 31 after one of the most decorated careers in British combat sport. Key speaking topics Performance under pressure at elite level Repeat peak performance across a long career Recovery and reinvention after public setback Mental health in high-stakes environments Long-term goal setting and focus Women in sport and underrepresented disciplines Career transition and starting again Ideal for Sales, trading and leadership teams whose performance is measured event by event Senior leadership offsites focused on resilience, succession, and renewal after a hard year Company-wide kickoffs and recognition events looking for credible Olympic-calibre proof of what discipline produces Diversity, women’s networks and ERG events where a high-profile woman in a male-dominated combat sport adds substance Audience outcomes A concrete sense of what daily discipline looks like over a decade of competitive peaks A working definition of pressure that comes from inside an Olympic final, not a metaphor Permission to treat setback as an operational fact rather than a personal failing A first-hand account of changing direction late, told by someone doing it now in public

Why organisations work with Adam Gemili A world title earned by a four-man relay quartet, not an individual final, gives him direct material on how teams hold technique together when one mistake ends the race. Fourteen years at the top of British sprinting, including European 200m gold and an Olympic 200m final, evidence a long performance arc rather than a single peak moment. His current role as sprint coach at Chelsea FC academy means his content on performance habits is being actively tested against developing professional athletes, not retold from memory. He is the first British man to run sub-10 in the 100m and sub-20 in the 200m, a credential that opens corporate audiences and supports the discipline-and-marginal-gains content many performance speakers claim without proof. Biography highlights World Champion, men’s 4x100m relay, IAAF World Championships London 2017 (37.47, national and European record). European Champion, 200m, 2014; three-time European Champion in the 4x100m relay. Olympic 200m finalist, Rio 2016, finishing fourth. First British male sprinter to run sub-10 seconds in the 100m and sub-20 seconds in the 200m. Sprint and speed coach, Chelsea FC academy, from 2026. Degree in Sports & Exercise Science with Human Biology. Biography The Great Britain men’s 4x100m team had spent years carrying the memory of a botched handover at London 2012. Five years later, in the same stadium, they ran 37.47 seconds and beat the United States to the world title. Gemili ran the second leg. That race is the strongest single anchor in his speaking material. It is also the most accurate frame for what he offers a corporate room: a story about four people executing a technical task in front of 60,000 spectators, where the result depends on the handover as much as the speed. His individual record runs in parallel. European 200m champion in 2014, Olympic finalist in Rio in 2016, fourth at the 2019 World Championships in Doha as the highest-placed European. He is the first British man to run sub-10 in the 100m and sub-20 in the 200m, a credential that signals range across both events rather than a single specialism. In March 2026 he retired from elite athletics and returned to Chelsea FC, where he had spent seven years as a youth player before switching codes, this time as a sprint and speed coach for the academy. The crossover gives his content on performance, recovery, and team behaviour a current operational anchor, not just a competitive past.

Why organisations work with Kevin Green A career arc that has tested his own frameworks in three different operating environments: professional kitchens, classroom education and corporate keynote delivery. The 3P Framework (Purpose, Passion, Potential) gives audiences a single, repeatable structure for moving from feeling stuck to taking action, useful for leaders managing people through reinvention. A teaching style built on practical demonstration, not abstraction. He came up running real kitchens and competing on Food Network’s Chopped, and brings that operator instinct to the stage. Strong fit for student and early-career audiences as well as corporate teams, with documented work with the University of Tennessee, Tennessee Department of Education and Pellissippi State Community College. Biography highlights Founder of Kevin Green Elevates, a keynote and workshop practice focused on leadership alignment and personal execution. Competitor on Food Network’s Chopped. Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from Lipscomb University, Nashville. Built and ran Chef Kevin Culinary, a personal chef business spanning private dinners, cooking classes and culinary education. Speaking clients and partners include the University of Tennessee, Tennessee Department of Education, Pellissippi State Community College and Toastmasters. Reported keynote speaker for the IASP 2026 Global Conference, with a talk titled “Do It Scared”. Biography Most teams do not lack effort. They lack alignment. Priorities pile up, ownership drifts, and people work hard on the wrong things. That is the problem Kevin Green built his keynote practice around, drawing on a career that has crossed kitchens, classrooms and corporate rooms. His operator background is unusual for a speaker on this topic. He trained as a chef, ran his own personal chef business in Knoxville, Tennessee, taught culinary arts to teenagers, and competed on Food Network’s Chopped. Each of those environments forced him to translate intent into clean, repeatable execution under pressure, and that is the frame he brings to leaders. His core teaching tool is the 3P Framework, Purpose, Passion, Potential. It gives audiences a simple structure for separating what they actually want from what they have inherited, and then for moving from clarity into action. He uses it with college students choosing direction, with early-career professionals at crossroads, and with corporate teams trying to get priorities, roles and expectations into the same shape. He is known for energy on stage and for breaking complex ideas into language a working audience can use the next morning. Clients include the University of Tennessee, the Tennessee Department of Education and Pellissippi State Community College, and he was named to open the IASP 2026 Global Conference with a keynote titled “Do It Scared”. Key speaking topics Purpose, passion and potential as a personal operating framework Leadership and team alignment Personal execution and follow-through Resilience and self-leadership at career crossroads Authentic working life and identity at work Presence, body language and vocal delivery Ideal for Corporate leadership offsites and all-hands events focused on execution and ownership Sales kick-offs and culture days where energy and clarity matter as much as content University and college audiences, including career services, student life and athletic departments Early-career and high-potential cohorts navigating career direction Audience outcomes A clearer personal answer to what they are working towards and why A simple framework, the 3P method, that survives the trip back to the desk A sharper read on where their own priorities, roles and expectations are out of alignment Renewed momentum, with concrete actions to take in the days after the event Practical language for talking about presence, voice and how they show up at work

Why organisations work with Magie Cook A nine-figure exit built from $800 in starting capital. Buyers get a speaker whose entrepreneurial credibility is documented in a real Campbell’s Soup transaction, not a curated personal-brand narrative. The 3R Framework (Resourceful, Resilient, Relentless) gives audiences a portable model for decision-making under pressure, drawn from the same operating discipline that scaled her business across 38 states. A bilingual Latina founder voice that lands with U.S. and Latin American workforces without the cultural flatness of imported keynote material. Credentials buyers recognise: SBA Young Entrepreneur of the Year, induction into the NAWBO Hall of Fame, and an honorary LL.D. from the University of Charleston. A philanthropic chapter, including the rescue of 31 children from cartel exploitation in Mexico, that gives her resilience material weight most speakers in the category cannot match. Biography highlights Founder and former CEO of Maggie’s All-Natural Fresh Salsas & Dips, distributed across 38 U.S. states through Whole Foods, Walmart and Sam’s Club. Sold Maggie’s Salsa with Garden Fresh to Campbell’s Soup in 2015 for $231 million. U.S. Small Business Administration Young Entrepreneur of the Year, 2009. Inducted into the National Association of Women Business Owners Hall of Fame and invited onto the NAWBO Board of Directors in 2022. Author of “Mindful Success: How To Use Your Mind To Transform Your Life,” endorsed by Jack Canfield. Honorary Doctorate of Laws, University of Charleston, 2022; Athletics Hall of Fame inductee, 2015. Biography The first order from Whole Foods came after ninety rejections. The starting capital was $800, handed to a homeless university graduate by a stranger at a salsa contest. Within four years, Maggie’s All-Natural Fresh Salsas & Dips was on shelves in 38 states across Whole Foods, Walmart and Sam’s Club. In 2015 the business sold with Garden Fresh to Campbell’s Soup for $231 million. That trajectory is the substance behind Cook’s keynote work. The 3R Framework she uses with corporate audiences (Resourceful, Resilient, Relentless) is not a packaged model written for the stage. It is the operating discipline that took the company from $12,000 in annual revenue to $1.9 million in a single year after the Whole Foods listing, and ultimately to a nine-figure exit. She has codified it in “Mindful Success,” her book endorsed by Jack Canfield, and translates it for Fortune 500 leadership teams looking for a credible voice on building under constraint. The credentials sit alongside the operating record. The U.S. Small Business Administration named her Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2009. The University of Charleston, where she arrived from a Mexican orphanage on a basketball scholarship, inducted her into its Athletics Hall of Fame and later awarded an honorary Doctorate of Laws. In 2022 she was inducted into the NAWBO Hall of Fame and joined its Board of Directors. What buyers tend to remember is the second chapter. After the Campbell’s exit, Cook returned to the orphanage where she grew up, served as US Program Director for its parent organisation, and helped coordinate the rescue of 31 children from cartel exploitation. That is what gives her resilience content its weight: a founder who built a national brand, exited it cleanly, and went back to the place that shaped her with the proceeds. Key speaking topics Entrepreneurship and scale-up leadership Resilience and high-performance mindset Purpose-driven leadership Diversity, equity and inclusion Mental conditioning and personal transformation Women in business and Latina leadership Corporate culture and employee engagement Ideal for Sales and commercial leadership conferences looking for a founder voice on building through rejection. CHROs and people leaders running engagement, DEI or culture-change programmes that need lived authority rather than theoretical framing. Leadership offsites where the senior team needs an external operator perspective on resilience and decision-making under constraint. Hispanic and Latina employee resource groups, women-in-business networks and bilingual audiences across the U.S. and Latin America. Audience outcomes A working version of the 3R Framework (Resourceful, Resilient, Relentless) that leaders can apply to their own commercial decisions. A clearer read on how constraint and rejection get converted into operating advantage in a real scale-up. Specific mental-conditioning techniques the speaker used personally to keep building through homelessness, ninety rejections and capital constraints. A practical sense of what changes inside a leader when they stop treating adversity as a setback and start treating it as input. Renewed commitment in the room, especially among under-represented and bilingual employee groups, to act on ambitions they had quietly written off.
