The Thinking Man's Explorer...
Hailed
by the international media as one of the world's
most accomplished polar explorers, Pen Hadow's
own view continues to be that he's the most normal
person he's ever met!
At
43, he's a family man who runs his own business,
and who is fast becoming one of the most sought-after
inspirational speakers on the professional speaking
circuit.
Ten
years ago, Pen pioneered a specialist guide service
in the Arctic and Antarctic, enabling 'allegedly
ordinary' people from all walks of life - men
and women, young and old, novices and disabled,
housewives, corporate executives and special forces
- to visit these desolate, yet captivating, wilderness
environments. He personally selected and prepared
the expedition teams, most of whom he led himself
'on the ice'.
The
stories behind his entrepeneurial, 'impossible'
missions will have you riveted - but what Pen's
really passionate about is providing his audiences
with some fresh insights into enhancing their
own performances.
Pen
is an author, too. His emotive new autobiography
'SOLO' was one of Penguin's leading Christmas
titles, and was voted 'Book of the Week' by The
Sunday Times. His next book is in the pipeline.
And
- another new route for Pen - he's recently been
credited by the Radio Times as a 'dynamic new
talent in broadcasting' following his performance
as the presenter of a series about the work of
Jules Verne. This role was sparked off by Pen's
interview on BBC Radio 4's celebrated ‘Desert
Island Discs'.
Pen
is now beginning preparations for the biggest
challenge of his life - the most ambitious endeavour
of its kind ever attempted in the polar regions.
The
undertaking will require a surreal level of fitness,
technical skill and mental focus to convert his
vision into reality. More details will be announced
soon.
Pen's
goal is to make a difference...
Pen
has an authoritative presence, combined with an
apparent normalness. So, set against the scale
of what he has achieved, when Pen talks, his audiences
are unusually receptive.
His
modesty, openness, and humour encourage men and
women of every age and background to empathise
with Pen, and take on-board his insights and ideas.
Morgan
Stanley, Coutts, Tetrapak, Lloyds TSB, Nike, Novartis
and England Rugby's Elite Coaching Programme are
just some of the organisations which have recently
used Pen to inspire, motivate, advise and entertain
their employees, customers and management teams,
at all kinds of events from conferences and seminars
to workshops and dinners.
They
choose Pen because he's a high-profile pioneering
explorer and entrepreneur with a natural ability
to speak eloquently about his experiences, who
also has a track record as an inspirational expedition
leader able to empower audiences and individual
clients to change their approach to performance,
both in the workplace, and far beyond.
It's
this unusual empathy with his audiences that encourages
them to believe that if even he can achieve what
he sets out to do, then there's every chance they
can too.
