Mark Agnew Biography

Mark Agnew and his team made history when they kayaked the Arctic's Northwest Passage. They became the first to kayak the route and the first to complete it under human power in a single summer.

"The Arctic Ocean's Northwest Passage" has defeated explorers for centuries but now adventurer Agnew from Edinburgh has kayaked for three months along the entire 1,600 mile route," summarised ITV News.

Agnew now shares his lessons from the epic 103 days expedition with schools and corporate audiences globally. He has delivered talks to Fortune 500 companies, like the Heineken annual sales meeting and globally recognised brands link the Marks & Spencer end of year event.

Agnew story is one of failure to triumph. He failed to row the Atlantic twice and the experience left him devastated. His mental health was in pieces. He felt humiliated and thought he would never go on an adventure again. He worked with leading psychologists to understand his experience and to come back stronger for the Northwest Passage. Without the hardship of failure, he would never have completed the Northwest Passage and written his name into the history books. Agnew shares how to use failure and hardship to get stronger and nail your goals.

Mark Agnew Speaking Topics

  • The Resilience Of An Adventurer

    Catastrophe is inevitable. How we respond is not.

    Mark Agnew, record breaking adventurer, faced life threatening situations. Polar bears tried to get into his tent, sea ice almost crushed his kayak, enormous waves threatened to capsize him in ice cold water. And yet he remained calm.

    Mark views resilience as a skill. It can be trained and practiced. And once it it is mastered, it allows you and your workforce not just to survive catastrophe, but to thrive in adversity.

    Through Mark's talks, you will learn:

    • How to build resilience.
    • What is resilience.
    • The three C's of a resilient person.

    The audience will be gripped by these fascinating tales of adventure and how to apply them to your workplace.

  • Exploring Motivations

    Covid-19 made many of us re-evaluate what makes us tick? But asking "why" is easier than answering it. Mark Agnew interviewed leading psychologists to answer his own questions, about why he wants to push himself and put himself in danger in the most extreme environments in the world. By understanding your own motivations, you are able to get the best out of yourself.

    Mark discusses:

    • How to recognise your own motivations.
    • The difference between extrinsic and intrinsic motivations.
    • The importance of multi-dimensional motivations.

    Mark's lessons are weaved into his own epic tales of adventure.

  • Team Cohesions

    Cohesion was crucial to the success of Mark's record breaking expedition to the Arctic. He and his team worked hard towards a common goal and made history by kayaking the Northwest Passage. Cohesion is evasive. You know when you have it, but it is abstract and hard to understand or facilitate.

    Mark has worked with leading military psychologists to understand how to turn a group of individuals into a working team.

    Mark explores:

    • The difference between social and task cohesions.
    • How the two interplay with each other.
    • How to form an cohesive group and still respect individuality.

    The lessons are woven into Mark's amazing stories from his time in the Arctic.

  • Bouncing Back From Failure

    We all fail, sooner or later. But how do we turn that defeat into a victory. Mark reached rocked bottom after he failed to row the Atlantic twice. His mental health was in pieces. But the experience made him stronger and enabled him to become the first to kayak the Northwest Passage, along with his three teammates.

    Mark will teach you:

    • Reframing failure.
    • Resilience as a skillset.
    • The importance of multiple iterations over the perfect first attempt.

    The story of failure to triumph is mixed in with tales from Mark's epic 103 expedition to the Arctic.
