WorkshopsBlogLoginGet in TouchRowing non-stop for two hours on, two hours off, across a grueling 3,000 miles of the Atlantic Ocean is not only a test of physical endurance, but also a testament to mental resilience. Victoria Monk understands this better than anyone, as she faced the daunting challenge head-on. Enduring over 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 you on how to navigate through the storm and emphasize 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.
Victoria's firsthand experience in leading a team through one of the most challenging environments on Earth showcases her unparalleled expertise in resilience, teamwork, and leadership. Her compelling story will inspire your team to overcome adversity, enhance communication, and achieve extraordinary results, regardless of the challenges they face. Booking Victoria as a speaker will not only motivate your team but also equip them with practical strategies for success in any endeavor.
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.
