Enduring almost 40 days at sea, battling severe sleep deprivation, excruciating sores, blisters, and relentless seasickness, all while confronting towering 40ft waves in a 9.6-meter boat with three other women, Victoria developed an incredible mindset.
Now, Victoria aims to share her experience and teach others how to unite and lead a team of ordinary people who were previously strangers to achieve extraordinary feats. She believes in overcoming adversity and building a resilient mindset. Victoria will enlighten your team on how to navigate through the storm and emphasise the power of effective communication, even in tight spaces.
Victoria's talks delve into the lessons she learned in leadership, tenacity, and sheer determination. Her ability to handle pressure, fear, success, and failure resonates with audiences from all walks of life.
Her message empowers everyone, reminding them that if she can cross the Atlantic Ocean in a tiny rowing boat without any prior rowing experience, they too can find inspiration to conquer their own metaphorical Atlantic Ocean, be it in their work or personal lives.
Topics, Sessions And Talks
Having spent 40 days rowing non-stop across the Atlantic Ocean, no one understands the power of resilience better than Victoria Monk. The great thing about resilience is that it can be cultivated and practised. In this keynote, Victoria will give your team practical tips on how to do just that, based on her experiences navigating 30ft waves and Atlantic storms alone in the middle of the ocean.
Creating cohesive teams must be carefully crafted through leadership. In this keynote, Victoria Monk explores the practical strategies for uniting different team members around a common goal to enhance performance.
In this keynote, we'll reflect on the question of diversity from several perspectives – race, gender in sport, and the importance of understanding that people have many different layers. The message is simple: judge people based on what they say and do, not on preconceived ideas of what to expect.
