"Annie presented to us an inspiring story on her life and experiences with Team SCA: the first female team to participate in the Volvo Ocean Race in over a decade.

 

A story on the training, the gap vs the mens' teams, the consequences of one’s competitiveness, teambuilding, pushing boundaries and leadership. Aligned with what we asked for.

Annie talks in an open, honest and inspiring way with a good sense of humour. Close interaction with the audience and completed with impactful imagery and films.

 

We had a wonderful afternoon and our guests appreciated it a lot. Thank you Annie!"

"Annie has a uniquely engaging,  personable and captivating way of sharing her experiences from her professional sailing career. We listened enthralled to her tales of commitment, hard work, determination, high and low points  from her time in the all female Team SCA Volvo Ocean Race.

 

Her delivery style and balance of technical versus universally applicable information enables a wide ranging audience to relate to her experiences walk away, not only inspired, but with lessons learned applicable to their daily lives."
