One of only 12 people in the world to lead the winning team in the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race – an epic 40,000 mile ocean sailing race around the planet where the most resilient, unified team always wins.

Brendan helps organisations who have teams seemingly pulling in different directions. Their people are committed to the vision, and understand their part of it, but face challenges in working together as a unit to achieve it.

Acting as a performance catalyst, he unlocks the latent potential within teams, helping develop resilience, a growth mindset, collaboration and more inclusive leadership.

He is the author of Team Spirit: Life & Leadership on The World’s Toughest Yacht Race. Team Spirit has become a valuable resource for business leaders and has been featured in Economia, The Sunday Times and shortlisted for the prestigious Mountbatten Book Award.
