"You’ve inspired us all to push boundaries and reach new heights. Your talk was incredibly inspiring & simply brilliant”

FOUNDER & CEO, GYMSHARK

The Tempest Two are keynote speakers whose talks are shaped by more than a decade of extraordinary real-world experience.

The pair have rowed 3,000 miles across the Atlantic, completed a world-first ultra-triathlon through Patagonia and climbed El Capitan with no previous climbing experience. Those expeditions became a real-world education in adaptability, resilience, teamwork and decision-making under pressure.

What separates Tom & James from most speakers, is their relatability. There are no gold medals or military background. Just two friends showing that ordinary people are capable of extraordinary things.

Today, their keynotes bring those lessons to teams around the world navigating change and uncertainty. Through powerful storytelling, cinematic visuals and humour, they turn extreme experiences into practical ideas people can use long after the event is over.

The stories are extreme. The lessons are remarkably relevant.

WHAT WE TALK ABOUT

Performing Under Pressure

How to make better calls when time is short, information is incomplete, and the stakes are high.

ADAPTABILITY IN THE AGE OF AI

Why the biggest challenge of AI transformation is human, and how to build people who are ready to learn, adapt and move with change.

Embracing Discomfort

Why the people who lean into difficult moments are the ones who grow through them.

Trust & Communication

How trust is built when people genuinely depend on one another.

LEADING THROUGH CHANGE & UNCERTAINTY

How leaders and teams can move with confidence when the path ahead is changing faster than the plan.

Mental Toughness & Mindset

What allows ordinary people to take on extraordinary challenges, move beyond perceived limits and achieve more than they thought possible.

THREE KEY TAKEAWAYS

REMOVE CAN'T

Challenge the limiting beliefs that quietly decide what you think is possible.

TURN UNCERTAINTY INTO OPPORTUNITY

See change, disruption and uncertainty as a playground for growth, not something to fear.

DO HARD THINGS

Rewire how you respond to challenge. Resilience and adaptability are built when things get difficult.
