Alan Chambers

Alan account of the expedition and his leadership insights made us all think very deeply about our roles and what it takes to succeed against the odds. He is human, inspirational and a real coach. Our business will benefit hugely if we apply what we have learnt from him.
CEO, Northern Foods

Alan presentation was fascinating, you could hear a pin drop in the audience! The feedback we received was that Alan had really touched people and that he had really made them think. Alan is so passionate about his achievements, he really is a memorable speaker. I think it was one of the best presentations I have ever seen and I know from the feedback from the team that they feel the same way.

There is no doubt in my mind that Alan helped focus the sales teams and aided them in their limiting beliefs - your message will be quoted all through this year mantra.

Alan presentation was very impressive and inspiring - I very much like his quote: Only take your body to where your mind has been. He is a remarkable person.
Straumur Investment Bank

Alan Chambers was with us all the way through the Ashes, if only from a distance. At every turn he recognised a situation from his journey and related it to that which we were encountering. That was great to know and provided excellent motivation, as well as a frequent good talking point. We used Alan analogies in the changing room after we lost the first test.
Duncan Fletcher, England Ashes Head Coach

The adventure is an extraordinary story in its own right and specifically supports the leadership messages that we addressed through the week. The new piece about Feet of Green further enhances some key messages and keeps the story very relevant. Alan staying for dinner and continuing conversations informally is always very welcome.
Director, LexisNexis

We were very pleased with your presentation and thank you for taking on a tight time constraint as well as a tangential topic to leadership.

Id like to express my sincere thanks to you for coming to present at our Company Conference last week. The feedback we have received from our employees has been extremely positive. People were visibly moved by your story and you were the topic of conversation at dinner!

Alan Chambers gave us a presentation on how he got through an unsupported walk to the North Pole - an amazing journey of endurance, skill & strength. There were parallels to be shared and he told us there would be blips and setbacks along our route. After the first test I remembered what he had said.
Michael Vaughan, England Ashes Captain

Alan amazing story highlighting the remarkable focus and leadership he had round the North Pole trip truly inspired the team in their preparation for the Rugby World Cup 2003.
Martin Johnson, Captain England winning Rugby World Cup Team

The team have come back with a renewed sense of energy and motivation after hearing about all that you and your team were able to achieve. Thank you so much for spending some time with us. You would not think that there were so many parallels between the running of a shop and an unaided trek to the North Pole!
Personnel Manager, John Lewis

I am a tremendous fan of Alan and feel strongly that his incredible story should be shared with the world. He is an adventurer of this century who leads by example in a thoughtful and skilful way. He has complete self-confidence of the type that builds teams by recognising that it takes the whole team and not one man to succeed. I am in awe of Alan accomplishments. Alan leadership skills borne out through his determination mixed with his consideration of the needs of others gave us all much to think about. His efforts in achieving a task that many people could not even begin to consider are truly inspiring.
Director of Development, Women World Banking

I just wanted to extend a very large thank you to you for the talk and presentation at the Avis Management Conference. It really was a shame we couldnt run for an hour as the audience were very much engaged and gained an enormous amount from your great achievements and experiences. You really did communicate it in a very inspiring way and we have received nothing but positive comments from guests and the Avis senior management team.
AVIS

Alan was excellent. I think NetApp were delighted at how well he spoke and the enthusiasm he generated in the room. And I found him a joy to work with - sometimes speakers can be a little self important, but he was so charming and that made my job a lot easier. His presentation was very engaging - he spoke passionately and he brought it back again and again to the client and the client issues in today world. The comments I had back were that he was mesmerising and that I have never sat still for so long and been so engaged - and that says a lot.
NetApp

The way Alan was able to link an unbelievable expedition to the top of the world with the challenges affecting each of us on a daily basis was truly inspiring. His passion for team work and belief in the power of individual character left the audience feeling like they could overcome anything.
Manchester Science Enterprise Centre

Alan is one of life unique characters. His story of the trek to the North Pole is both fascinating and insightful and has important lessons for all leaders and all teams. His anecdotes about team selection, project planning and leading from the back have resonance with the every day issues that I and other business leaders face.
CEO Cargill Investor Services

Alan spoke at two Hill Hire conferences about his North Pole expedition. This linked directly into the theme of our conferences, which was teamwork and that the only way to be successful in business, is if people work together for a common goal and, more importantly, stick together and keep focused. Alan presentation drew all the necessary parallels, which undoubtedly made people think, and also humbled people when they realised that their problems were miniscule in life compared to the experiences which Alan and his team had encountered.
Managing Director, Hill Hire Plc

Alan Chambers offers a fascinating description of the many challenges faced by his team on their various explorations. Alan skilfully presents his experiences in a way which enables his audience to relate them to their particular industry and to the skills required for successfully bringing in any project. His presentation was fascinating, you could hear a pin drop in the audience! The feedback we received afterwards was that Alan had really touched people and that he had really made them think. A truly inspirational talk highly recommended for those seeking to motivate their own teams. Alan is so passionate about his achievements, he really is a memorable speaker.
