It is very rare to meet someone who has the ability to have an impact, such as did you yesterday. You have a quiet authority together with a natural humanity and humility that is a very rare combination. You really did change attitudes. | Dr Nigel Mercer, Plastic Surgery Consultant and FSSA President | |

Nikki Henderson | Speaker Biography

About Nikki Henderson

Youngest skipper of a round-the-world yacht race
Motivational speaker on leadership and teamwork
Advocate for women in leadership and endurance sports
Nikki Henderson is a record-breaking sailor, speaker, and storyteller. She became the youngest person to skipper a round-the-world yacht race and inspires audiences worldwide through motivational speaking.

Nikki shares insights into the human aspects of extreme endurance sports, highlighting the importance of leadership and teamwork. Her talks cater to diverse audiences, from primary school students to international executives. She delivers tailored keynote speeches and conducts leadership and team-building workshops, helping teams navigate the challenges of working with unfamiliar colleagues. By immersing participants in scenarios akin to five weeks at sea, she illustrates the personal struggles of leadership and how to apply these lessons in various contexts.

Nikki is dedicated to reaching a broad audience and offers special rates for schools and non-profits. She encourages others to "stand tall and make the right decisions for you."

Thirteen years ago, Nikki chose a path that diverged from the typical trajectory for young adults, seeking a deeper understanding of life and leadership. Her first decade was filled with record-breaking achievements, leading teams in perilous environments and exploring the relationship between humanity and nature. She has demonstrated that feminine instincts and youthful intuition are valuable assets in leadership.

Currently, Nikki divides her time among three roles. As a professional sailor, she founded an offshore racing programme for 59 North Sailing, serves as a women's ambassador for Outremer, and coaches private clients. As a motivational speaker, she covers topics from high-performance teams to sustainability. As an author, she contributes to Yachting World and Grand Large Yachting and runs her own Substack account.

Stay tuned for her upcoming book, which blends adventure memoir with leadership insights, offering guidance on navigating life and relationships through lessons learned in nature.

It takes a special kind of person to be a Clipper Race Skipper – part teacher, counsellor and sports coach and so to lead her team to second place (and it was a nail-biting finish!) is an amazing achievement. | Sir Robin Knox Johnston CBD RE | |
