| on the World's Toughest Walk |
 The return walk from the edge of Antarctica to the South Pole has a success rate of only 5%. So far the journey has been completed by less people than have stood on the moon. It is no wonder it is considered the 'World's Toughest Walk'.
In 2007 Sean successfully led a team of 'polar novices' on the journey and now shares powerful lteam leadership insights from the journey.
Sean'spresentation is not just another adventure story. It is a story about how one man's vision became a team's passion for success. It is story about teamwork at the edge of human endurance. It's a story about winning.
Its a story of how Sean developed a team from over 400 applicants, developed them into a peak performance team and completed the 2,200 kilometre journey in 71 days.

 Not only did Sean give a fascinating description of his polar expedition, he was able to relate how leadership in such extreme circumstances applies to more 'normal' business situations...I have no hesitation in highly recommending Sean to their organisations.
CEO, Aesica Pharmaceuticals

It was an opportunity of a lifetime, a chance to achieve something I thought was way beyond my capability to do so.
