CONRAD HUMPHREYS
At 28, Conrad
Humphreys
has crammed
a lifetime
of adventure
and achievement
into his life.
In skippering
the 72 foot,
steel-hulled
‘LG
Flatron’
to overall
victory in
the 2001 BT
Global Challenge;
the toughest
round-the-world
team yacht
race, Conrad
has established
himself as
one of Britain’s
hottest sailing
talents.
From day
one of the
race, Conrad
cultivated
a winning
attitude on
board the
Flatron, creating
a strong cornerstone
of positivity
upon which
to build his
crew’s
long and arduous
campaign.
“Winning
is infectious”
and “self
belief is
everything”
were the driving
philosophies.
Such a positive
approach was
always going
to yield results.
After more
than ten months
at sea, and
having endured
some of the
most hostile
conditions
on Earth.
Conrad’s
leadership
and motivational
talents transformed
a disparate
band of volunteer
sailors into
a formidable,
world-beating
yachting crew.
Conrad believes
that the skills
needed to
lead a team
through the
extremes of
the world’s
oceans can
readily be
translated
to the business
arena. And,
having conquered
one of the
toughest leadership
challenges
going, few
could argue
with his track
record.
Conrad presents
his insights
into team
building in
an accessible
and enjoyable
way. From
sharing ideas
about the
value of adventure
in inspiring
leadership
and teamwork,
to the essentials
of preparation,
professionalism
and positivity,
he knows how
to get the
most from
teams. He
gives practical
examples of
how adopting
a followship
culture -
where crew
members recognise
that they
are all leaders
with key strengths
and a direct
contribution
to make –
have yielded
incredible
successes
for him, and
how these
can work for
you.
Helping ordinary
people achieve
extraordinary
things is
a passion
for Conrad
Humphreys.
If you’re
looking to
harness all
the potential
that your
team can offer,
Conrad can
help you tap
into these
strengths
and get leagues
ahead of your
competition.
“Conrad
gave a very
effective,
thought provoking
presentation
on the challenges
faced by his
team and the
leadership
style necessary
to achieve
results and
bring the
crew through
their adventure
to ultimately
win the world’s
toughest yacht
race. Highly
recommended”
Frank Stone,
Head of Communications
BTexact Technologies
“As
a business
leader it
is rare to
hear about
an experience
which offers
not only a
wealth of
learning and
insight but
manages to
reach each
listener in
a uniquely
personal way.
Conrad Humphreys
is a joy and
inspiration
to listen
to. It was
a privilege
to hear him
speak.”
Hanif Lalani,
Chief Executive
BT Northern
Ireland
“Conrad
is able to
highlight
teamwork and
leadership
ideas which
can be built
into winning
strategies
applicable
to any field
or venture.”
