Mark Agnew is a resilience expert who helps organisations to thrive in our ever changing world. As European Adventurer of the Year and a member of the first team to kayak the Northwest Passage, Mark brings real-world experience to the corporate environment.
Mark's achievements include two world-first records, authoring a best-selling book, and being featured in "The Top 10 Greatest Kayaking Expeditions of the Century". His adventures have been covered by the BBC, The Times, and ITV.
Through his signature keynote, Find Your Polar Bear, Mark equips teams with practical resilience strategies drawn from life-threatening situations. He transforms how organisations approach uncertainty by teaching teams how to take ownership of challenges, make clear decisions under pressure, and find purpose in difficult circumstances. His framework helps companies build collaborative cultures that thrive during change rather than merely surviving it.
Audiences leave Mark's presentations with actionable methods to maintain calm under pressure, practical techniques for decision-making during uncertainty, and a renewed sense of purpose that transforms everyday challenges into opportunities for growth.
