Robert Swan OBE's Biography

Robert Swan is regarded as one of the world’s top motivational speakers. His accomplishments and reflections on 30 years of successes and failures inspire and motivate his audiences, from young people and teachers, to corporate executives.

Robert Swan has an extraordinary ability to thrill, uplift and inspire while speaking on topics such as:
INSPIRATION
Robert Swan has shown through his expeditions that we have the power to overcome obstacles and achieve our goals through perseverance, determination and commitment.
SUSTAINABLE LEADERSHIP
A leader must make decisions, at times difficult ones, and have the courage to stick to them. You must show commitment, not just talk it.
COMMUNICATION
We live in an age of complex communication technology, yet many people find little time to communicate effectively. In a hostile environment like the Arctic you need to explain your thoughts, feelings and actions, just to survive. Effective communication in business is equally vital.
ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP
Robert witnessed firsthand the damage to the most delicate of the world’s environments, the Polar Regions. Traveling under the hole in the ozone on the walk to the South Pole and having witnessed the devastating effect of the ice melting during his walk to the North Pole has shaped Robert’s life long commitment to the environment.
TEAMWORK
Robert accepts that individuals in isolation rarely achieve great feats: more often it is a team effort. A team that understands its strengths and weaknesses and pulls together to face the challenge will achieve the seemingly impossible.
