PRESENTATIONS
Personal Endurance and Motivation
Nearly 2000 people have reached the summit of Everest since 1953 but Richard is only the 11th person in History to of successfully rowed the Atlantic solo from the Canary islands to Barbados.
He will tell you how he faced the toughest challenge of his life covering subjects like: personal endurance, planning, motivation, risk taking, team work, health and safety, be all you can be, and lessons learnt.
The journey of 3430 nautical miles was a monumental feat of perseverance, courage and endurance, flying in the face of failure of his first attempt in 2001.
Not only did Richard spend 101 days at sea in one of the world's most hostile environments but also 6 years of meticulous preparation. He sometimes describes the experience as giving him a Masters Degree in the ‘University of Life'!
“Having been forced to abandon his first attempt, he might have been forgiven for thinking the omens were not good for a successful crossing. Richard, however, was not put off.
Following in the tradition of such great adventurers as Francis Chichester, David Hempleman-Adams and, even, Scott of the Antarctic, Richard Wood ploughed on. Richard was made of sterner stuff.
Our heartiest congratulations go to Richard and his support team.”

“It is very difficult for people in general to grasp the enormity of Richards’ personal achievement, I for one am in awe of his inner strength to see it through.”
