Oli France

Whether speaking to small teams or hundreds of delegates, Oli France’s mission is simple: empower new perspectives on resilience, self-confidence, leadership and how we can fulfil our boldest life goals. Oli’s passion for adventure began after spending his early years on countless misadventures, whether dodging bombings in Beirut or searching for lions with Army Generals in Uganda. He’s been through deserts, jungles, mountains, and war-torn regions across over 75 countries. It’s seen him lead teams through countless high-risk situations, from the highest mountain in Iraq to the militia-filled jungles of the Congo to the backstreets of Aleppo, Syria. He’s faced spies, interrogators, and minefields, as well as earthquakes, meningitis, and severe dehydration. Most notably though, Oli still maintains a 100% record regarding the safety of those entrusted to him. The pressures and perils of expedition life mean quickly developing high-functioning teams is vital. Over the last decade, Oli has shared his leadership lessons on decision-making, intensive planning, open communication and understanding the human factor within teams with hundreds of clients from across the globe, from industry-leading business figures to former CIA officers and young people embarking on their first adventure.
