Leadership insights from the bottom of the earth

There can be no argument that leading Antarctic expeditions is extreme. Once you commit there is no turning back. Yet the challenges for the leader are the same in every workplace. Leaders need to acknowledge and navigate through the perpetual scrutiny, the frequent isolation, and the need to keep going when you feel you have nothing more to give.

Rachael always meets with clients before the event to gain a solid understanding of the leadership challenges they are facing. She will work with you to select the most valuable ideas and concepts for your event so that it really hits the mark and has a strong impact.

Rachael has a wide range of leadership insights that are fully supported by contemporary research and writing. She brings these to life through real stories from Antarctica. The stories are highly engaging and memorable, so much so, that for some of the stories will quickly become part of your organisation's culture and vernacular.
