World Record Breaking adventure rower, Roz Savage MBE, the first woman to row solo across three oceans will be joined by Olympic rower Adam Freeman-Pask to deliver an ‘In Conversation’ session, speaking candidly about their personal experiences and aspirations for a sustainable future.
To hear them speak, book for the conference…
Roz Savage MBE, an Oxford-educated lawyer, spent the first 11 years of her career working as a management consultant, braving nothing more intrepid than rush hour in London, before an environmental epiphany led to her radical personal transformation into a world-class adventurer. Since 2005 Roz has rowed – solo – across the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans making her the world’s foremost female ocean rower.
On the ocean Roz had to redefine her comfort zone on a daily basis, and reach deep into her inner sources of strength, self-discipline, and commitment to her goal, as she spent up to 5 months alone at sea on a 23-foot rowboat, thousands of miles from land and humanity, at the mercy of winds, waves and currents.
Roz now speaks to companies all over the world who are keen to find new ways to inspire and motivate a more engaged, happy and purpose-driven workforce. She shares her stories from the epic adventures she has experienced and the lessons she has learned along the way. These ideas and principles help audiences to take more personal responsibility for their individual and collective success, find higher levels of resilience and courage, more effectively navigate the uncharted waters of change and invest more of themselves into every challenge they undertake.
“The business community has a crucial role to play in creating a more sustainable and socially responsible future for us all. The National CSR Awards celebrate and promote best practice, and I’m delighted to be involved in this year’s event, which promises to be a spectacular occasion.”
Roz Savage had an environmental epiphany after reading about the Native American belief that we have to take good care of the land if we want it to take good care of us. She turned her back on a materialistic lifestyle and embraced a simpler life uncluttered by possessions. Listen to her share her experiences on the ocean and her views on environmental issues in this video…
