KEYNOTE SPEAKER
From the main stage at TED to virtual presentations on screens in homes and workplaces around the world, Ben Saunders is an acclaimed and sought-after keynote speaker. His three TED talks alone have been watched online more than five million times.
Whether speaking to the world’s largest corporations or to small teams at pioneering start-ups, in person or online, Ben speaks with honesty, humility and humour, taking his audiences inside his polar expeditions and sharing hard-won lessons to educate, inform and inspire.
On his expeditions to some of the world’s most inaccessible and unforgiving places, Ben has spent large parts of his twenty-year career working remotely or in total isolation, thousands of miles from his colleagues and support teams.
His story delivers instantly applicable wisdom on motivating yourself and the people around you when the chips are down, staying focussed in unpredictable, fast-changing and hostile situations, the vital importance of frank and open communication, and on having the bravery to know when to ask for help.
