Ann Daniels – Speaker

Vodafone, HSBC and Marks & Spencer are just three from hundreds of organisations across Europe and North America that have been inspired by Ann’s dynamic presentations.

Ann is a Guinness world record-holding polar explorer and an accomplished guide. She believes that people can achieve what they set out to do if they start with the right attitude and keep a positive focus even in the most dire circumstances: “It’s easy to view any situation in a negative light. But I truly believe that if you become passionate about what you do, and believe in yourself and those around you, then you can find success in ways you would never have otherwise believed possible.“

Ann should know. She started out in the polar world as a mother of triplets with zero knowledge about the outdoors. Ann spent nine months teaching herself everything from navigating with a compass in whiteout conditions to cooking on a stove the size of a grapefruit in order be invited onto her first expedition, a unique relay to the North Pole.

By sharing memorable experiences from her polar expeditions, Ann takes the audience on a parallel journey through their own challenges in a tough and changing world: “The difficulties people encounter at work are similar to the problems we face on expeditions, be it impossible targets, constant pressure or morale within a team.”

Although Ann tailors every presentation to match the client’s requirements, she never uses a script because she enjoys interacting with members of her audience, responding to their needs, and answering their questions.
