From Ocean to office
CORPORATE Speaking
Josh started his career with £100 in his pocket and a dream of racing solo around the world. With zero sales, marketing or media experience and in the pre-internet era, Josh created the platforms to succeed both ashore and afloat. Each of his solo racing projects demanded larger budgets and bigger, faster boats. From £100 to a £1 million budget inside 8 years. You will be astonished and inspired to learn how he pulled it off!
Combining high-risk and high-drama on both land and sea, he relays his adventure-filled life in a motivating and personable way.
Josh has experienced a myriad of highs and lows whilst offshore racing including podium places; mast breakages; rudder attacks by Orca whales; being rescued from a sinking yacht; dodging icebergs in the Southern Ocean and rounding the infamous Cape Horn.
The daily challenges of piecing together and executing his projects draw clear and direct parallels with the business world.
Imaginative marketing; out-of-the-box initiatives; motivation techniques; creative positioning; budget control; handling both the successes and the darker moments fully relate to the daily challenges within any business.
Josh has spoken at dozens of corporate events, hosted over 1,500 client and staff events and inspired thousands of school children with hundreds of school visits.
