No Barriers ~ Only Solutions

— February 23, 2012 — Keynote Trends
Neal Petersen is an extreme history-making yachtsman who competitively raced around the world, 27,000 miles, 9 months at sea, around Cape Horn and its notorious storms - SOLO. Neal defied the racial divide of South Africa and achieved this remarkable feat, not only significant for its athletic and navigational challenges, but more remarkable he did it in a boat he designed and built himself– the smallest and least-funded boat in the fleet.

Facing extreme uncertainty, Neal Petersen makes a compelling case that the principles of the unforgiving sea apply to everyday success in business and in life. Neal takes audiences on a riveting journey around the world and shows how determination, coupled with imagination, are essential to success.

Neal uses stunning images, including lightning, thunder and fog (optional), to bring his story to life. His presentations are riveting, transformative and provide the direct correlation between determination, dedication and perseverance to achieve the impossible.

Neal’s life story of turning every disadvantage and barrier into an advantage, balancing risk against reward, will educate, entertain and inspire your audience to reach not only for success – but more importantly, significance!

Having delivered multiple keynotes globally for IBM (over a dozen), Intel (dozen) Microsoft, MasterCard, YPO’s, Billionaires Summit, (32) Government Technology Summits, speaks volumes of Neal’s impact on global leaders and international audiences.

Neal uses his powerful story of overcoming insurmountable barriers to achieve his dream of racing solo around the world, not to prove others wrong, but to prove he was right to dream. There are No Barriers ~ Only Solutions!
