The Tempest Two is made up of two friends, James Whittle and Tom Caulfield, both adventurers and motivational speakers. Highly popular on the speaking circuit, they have worked with such influential businesses as Google, Red Bull and Dropbox. The pair are ideal for corporate audiences, as they can inspire and drive positive change through actionable, insightful strategies. What sets The Tempest Two apart is their relatability; they are just a couple of normal people who did extraordinary things.
In 2015, the pair boarded a seven metre rowing boat, and travelled 3000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean. They were totally unaided and having never rowed or sailed before the men were faced with an incredible challenge. A staggering 54 days later, with a lifetime of stories, they landed in Barbados. Since then, the pair left their jobs in London to become full-time adventurers and presenters, using their platform as keynote speakers to encourage an improved perspective in their audience. James and Tom are driven by self-belief, which they endeavour to inspire at events.
Considered to be experts in Growth Mindset, developed through their agency Dose, The Tempest Two use their experience of adventuring to thrill audiences. They believe that by infusing an adventuring mindset with an eye for businesses, corporate audiences can stay ahead of the curve and position themselves as market leaders. From rowing the Atlantic in 2016 to climbing the most famous rock in the world, El Capitan, in 2019, the men have dedicated their lives to pushing the boundaries of human potential. They believe that anyone is capable of extraordinary things, so inspire audiences to take a leap of faith through their story.
Over the past few years, The Tempest Two have established themselves as the go-to speakers for corporations looking to motivate their workforce. The pair take strategies from their adventure, and embed them into the workplace, unleashing potential and removing the word ‘can’t’ from the audience's vocabularies. Additionally, as brand ambassadors, the pair use their stylish, popular platform to promote products and services that they trust. The Tempest Two are actively redefining human potential, bringing the focus back to what is important; self-belief and motivation.
