The Tempest Two are the go-to speakers for organisations that want to inspire their teams to remove the word can’t from their vocabulary and rethink what’s possible.
What sets them apart isn’t medals, military experience, or elite talent – it’s their ordinariness. Two friends who discovered the power of mindset, habits, and adaptability, they’ve taken on extraordinary challenges starting with zero prior experience. They’ve rowed the Atlantic for 54 days, set world records across Patagonia, and climbed the granite face of El Capitan, living vertically for three days along the way.
Trusted by Airbnb, Google, JP Morgan, and Microsoft, The Tempest Two deliver practical, relatable, and high-impact sessions that help teams unlock repeatable high performance. Every adventure has tested focus, resilience, and courage under pressure, and they translate those lessons into actionable strategies for the workplace.
They don’t teach from textbooks – they teach from doing. Every challenge they’ve faced proves that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary results. Their talks give teams the mindset, habits, and adaptability to perform at their best, no matter the challenge, helping organisations thrive in a world where change is constant and sustainable performance is essential.
High performance isn’t reserved for elite athletes or lifelong specialists. The Tempest Two have repeatedly proven that ordinary people can reach extraordinary levels. Whether in endurance sports, extreme expeditions, or fast-moving business ventures. Without decades of single-track training. In this keynote, they unpack the mindset and habits that allow you to perform at a high level again and again, in any field. Audiences learn how to build transferable skills, unlock adaptable resilience, and create a repeatable process for peak performance that fits real life, not just one arena.
True leadership isn’t about job titles or managing big teams—it’s about the example you set. In this keynote, James and Tommy share powerful stories of stepping into the unknown and making bold decisions when no playbook existed. They show how leading with courage, integrity, and action can spark change and inspire others, whether you’re guiding a project, shaping culture, or simply showing up at your best every day. Audiences leave with a clear sense of how to lead from the front, by living the behaviours they want others to follow.
Change can feel disruptive, but it’s also where growth lives. In this energising talk, The Tempest Two show how to reframe uncertainty as opportunity, sharing lessons from bold adventures and business pivots alike. Expect inspiring stories, practical frameworks, and a fresh perspective on how to stay agile when everything shifts. Teams walk away ready to navigate change with confidence and turn challenges into breakthroughs.
What The Tempest Two delivered in 60 minutes, has been spoken about amongst attendees for months following. The way they crafted their keynote around a specific brief was incredible. I speak about them regularly to friends and family, a genuine impact was made.
Over the years, I have struggled with finding speakers who truly deliver excellence, on this occasion, excellence was achieved. I have recommended them to numerous stakeholders in teams across JPM, and to this day have never felt so inspired by an hour long talk. Superb on all fronts.
