Mark Agnew Biography
As Mark Agnew lay in his tent, deep in the Arctic, he was woken by a deep, guttural growl. A polar bear was trying to get in. The chaos and hilarity that followed is the basis for his Find Your Polar Bear framework. Agnew builds resilient teams that view change and growth as an exciting challenge, not just an obstacle to overcome.
Agnew is best known for kayaking the Arctic’s Northwest Passage. The 103-day adventure earned him and his teammates two world-first records, and he was named European Adventurer of the Year. The adventure was packed with polar bears, icebergs, and near-death experiences. This talk will blow your audiences away.
"Find Your Polar Bear" is perfect if you are looking for a speaker who can:
Give your audience a talk they will never forget, featuring polar bears, icebergs, and incredible misadventures.
Talk about reframing adversity as an exciting challenge: “The joy of striving is better than arriving.”
Discuss the joy of sharing challenges with colleagues and partners: “Camaraderie is formed when tough times are shared.”
Prepare teams for the rigors of change and growth: “Tough things are tough. That’s not the problem — that’s the point.”
Bring credibility to the stage — Agnew is a 2× world-record-setting adventurer, European Adventurer of the Year, bestselling author, and professional speaker, as seen on BBC, ITV, Sky News, The Times, and many more.
Agnew has spoken at Google, Heineken, John Lewis, BNP Paribas, and major pharmaceutical companies. He has delivered keynotes across Asia, the USA, and Europe.
