Tom Caulfield and James Whittle are better known as The Tempest Two, a speaking duo who challenge conventional perceptions of potential and performance. Their talks explore the power of mindset, bringing adventure-fuelled experiences into the world of work to inspire real change in individuals and teams. Known for their relatable style and honest storytelling, they have worked with global names including Microsoft, Nike, and Google.
Their journey began with an impulsive decision that led them to row 3000 miles across the Atlantic, despite no prior experience. What followed were years of high-risk, high-reward expeditions, from setting records in Patagonia to climbing the vertical granite wall of El Capitan. These challenges weren’t undertaken as elite athletes or survival experts, but as ordinary friends who had developed an extraordinary approach to growth, resilience, and teamwork.
The duo balance their time between new ventures and delivering keynote sessions designed to empower audiences to remove the word “can’t” from their vocabulary. Their impact lies in their ability to connect—both with the extremes of the natural world, and with the everyday challenges facing individuals and businesses today. Drawing on cutting-edge research, personal insight, and powerful visuals, Tom and James are sought-after speakers who bring adventure, neuroscience, and practical tools together to create genuine behavioural shifts.
