"A
remarkable journey and an historical achievement.
Your talk was an inspiration to us all."
Lloyds Bank TSB
"Sean is a regular guest speaker
at the London Business School on both the Accelerated
Development and Essentials of Leadership Programmes.
His inspirational talk offers a different perspective
on the challenges of leadership which offers real
value to our delegates."
Lorraine Vaun-Davis, Director
Accelerated Development Programme & Director Learning
Delivery, Executive Education
"I had the opportunity to attend
a presentation of Sean during a programme of the London
Business School. I was very impressed how he linked
his adventure experience with the managerial skills
needed for every manager to be successful. The insides
of the decision making processes under extreme circumstances,
the prerequisites of the recruitment of his team members
for his journey, how to manage stress, and how to
deal with the interests of the stakeholders, were
very helpful for me to use in practice."
Board Member Iveco Magirus
AG
"I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation
and felt the use of a really gripping story to rehearse
some of the principles of leadership and team working
was an interesting and useful strategy."
Anne Devlin, Deputy
Dean, Teaching, Learning & Quality, Faculty
of Health & Social Care, Anglia Ruskin University
"Sean brought a new dimension in
leadership to our Management Conference. Not only
did he 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 Pharmaceutical
"With Sean Chapple's exciting presentation
you can say "success is in the air". It
was fascinating to discover what leadership skills
and tools, such as the Team Management Profile®,
enabled him to led his team to the South Pole and
back...if you ever have the opportunity to see and
hear Sean, then go!."
Jan van der Heide,
Switzerland
"The
feedback from ALL the members that attended Sean's
speech was outstanding. Sean gave an extraordinarily
inspiring lesson on Survival, Competitiveness, Will
to Win, Leadership, Team Spirit, Planning, Recruiting,
Overcoming Obstacles, Crises Management, Objective
Setting, Achievement Celebration and above all it
showed us a picture of a different way of facing life
in our short existence in this small planet."
CEO, Medtronic
"Sean gets things done. Easy when said quickly
but he gets things done thoroughly and with the minimum
of fuss. He is highly motivated himself and he motivates
highly as a consequence - you don't lead a team to
both Poles by being half-hearted. An excellent communicator
with unimpeachable integrity, I would recommend Sean
to anyone."
Managing Director, Corporate
Defence Mechanisms Ltd
"A remarkable journey that is in the finest
traditions of the Royal Marines."
Commandant General Royal
Marines
"Sean has a record that speaks for itself. This
culminated in developing concurrent expeditions to
both ends of the globe - both of which were enormously
successful. He has demonstrated his skills and enthusiasm
in both military and civilian arenas. Sean also takes
time to actively support up and coming individuals
in an honest and constructive manner."
Fellow Polar explorer
"Sean brought a fresh, inspiring dimension to
the leadership discussion at the conference. The
challenges of the expedition connected well to the
audience - facing leadership challenges of their own."
COO, Potential Squared
"Motivating, inspiring and entertaining."
President, Rotary Club
"A remarkable journey told with amazing images
and video. Sean's ability to engage with the audience was
fantastic. Motivating and inspiring."

"Your leadership has been an inspiration to others
and I congratulate you on completing a remarkable
journey."
Major General Andy Keeling
"Mission Accomplished, indeed ! My strongest
personal congratulations to you all on a hugely successful
expedition. It has caught the imagination of many
here in UK and, I expect, around the world. It is
an enormous achievement of which we are all very proud.
Well done."
Commander-in-Chief Fleet, Royal
Navy
"My heartfelt congratulations on your magnificent
ski crossing of Iceland. You faced formidable challenges
of climate and topography the fact that you completed
the task ahead of schedule and in fine spirits is
testament to your courage, preparation, fitness and
leadership."
Diana The Princess of Wales
"An
outstanding achievement."
Lieutenant General Sir Robin
Ross
"His session was the highlight of the day.
An engaging speaker, he gave a most informative talk.
Relevant to all types of organisations in the public
and private sectors, I recommend Sean without hesitation."
Managing Director, Marcinowicz

"Inspiring, fascinating, informative.
A powerful development day for our clients that focused
on familiar team issues but from a different perspective.
Outstanding."

"An
inspiring and thought provoking talk. I enjoyed every
moment of it."
Deutsche Bank Group
"Arresting but beguiling; Without leaving the
room, Sean effortlessly takes audiences on some of
the perilous journeys he has taken, giving them an
at-times painfully honest account of his treks across
frozen lands. Sean is a must-hear hero of the snow.
The self-titled Ice Man is a treat to behold and is
a truly inspirational speaker. Move over Fiennes,
there's a new adventurer in town."
Deputy Editor, Human Resources
Magazine
"Sean's talk was extremely well received by our
leadership development delegates. His ability to combine
a fascinating polar adventure with tangible team leadership
lessons gave real added value to our day. I can highly
recommend Sean."
Founder, DXM
"Using Sean as a motivational speaker at our
sales conference provided the perfect example to demonstrate
that through applying self drive, planning and teamwork
you can succeed in even the most challenging of situations.
The personal account of his experience and the approach
he took to meeting his goal enabled the audience to
identify with their own personal challenges and feel
motivated to being able to achieve them. Undoubtedly
he added value to the overall event."
CEO, Nynas Bitumen
"Excellent presentation that I personally
think held the audience. I also felt that there was
a lot of team / leadership pointers that are applicable
to any business - I particularly liked the 'leadershift'
concept. Sean used the word team throughout the presentation
which again endorsed in my mind what the 200+ people
in the audience should 'all be about'. Conflict within
teams was discussed and I particularly liked how Sean
focused the team on immediate objects that all linked
to the overall goal i.e. incremental steps that are
mentally manageable but all contrive to achieve the
ultimate prize."
Alan Turner, Faculty
Business Manager, Faculty of Health and Social
Care, Anglia Ruskin University
"It is very encouraging to see that the
Team Management Systems principles which work for
Sean in his polar expeditions are the very same
I use in my work as an intercultural consultant. His
success proves he is doing something right and I suppose
I too. Thanks Sean, it was great to meet you."
Jochen Schuppener, Intercultural
Consultant
"Take
away the sub-zero temperatures and the risks of injury
or even death, and you have many comparisons to companies
that are in a state of chaos, whether in expansion
or contraction. The need to build and train a group
of individuals that can operate together as a successful
team in highly stressful situations is very necessary
in today's global workplace and your lecture gave
me some great examples of how you provided strong
leadership in this area. I saw direct comparisons
to my own experiences within my management group in
how constant communication is necessary."

"Visiting Florida, I was able to get the 'Ice
Man' to really warm up a local audience. His insight
into leadership and teamwork based on his polar adventures
created a sense of awe in the group. Sean's wit and
engaging personality kept the audience excited and
energized. Thanks for the instant energy!"
Managing Director, Success

"Impossible is merely a state of
mind....Sean achieves the impossible time and time
again."

a fascinating polar adventure with tangible team leadership
lessons gave real added value to our day. I can highly
recommend Sean."
Founder, DXM
"Sean is a wonderful man - plenty
of humility, yet the drive and determination to succeed
are clear for all to see. His enormous achievements
are the result of skill, careful planning, and an
unwavering confidence in his own, and his teams, ability
to succeed. He is very helpful to anyone who seeks
his input, and he shares his knowledge, advice, and
experience freely. I'm proud and privileged to know
him, to work with him, and to have him as a friend."
Managing Director, Marcinowicz
Ltd
"A truly inspirational speaker, who really brings
the power of his experiences to life and makes you
want to achieve just a fraction of what he's done.
Sean has spoken at several of our client events and
always receives excellent feedback."

undertaken."
