While the media focus of expeditions is often on their conclusion, the months and sometimes years of training and planning beforehand often requires as much skill and expertise as the expeditions themselves. Training a group of novices into a high performance team with enough resilience to undertake a polar expedition requires an exceptional ability to develop strategies for success. Careful planning, measureable targets and continual assessment of a team’s performance are crucial to ensure that everyone is pulling in the same direction. This group of speakers are defined by their exceptional abilities to improve their teams’ performance and achieve results against tremendous odds.

Sean gets things done. Easy when said quickly but he gets things done thoroughly and with the minimum of fuss. He is highly motivated himself and he motivates highly as a consequence - you don't lead a team to both Poles by being half-hearted. An excellent communicator with unimpeachable integrity, I would recommend Sean to anyone.
