Brendan Hall Biography

Brendan Hall is an award-winning speaker, author, coach, and consultant who helps create high performance cultures for teams and organizations. Acting as a creative catalyst, he unlocks the latent potential within teams, helping develop resilience, connection, collaboration, and better leadership.

Hall's expertise stems from his own remarkable journey as the skipper of the winning yacht in the most demanding sailing event, the Clipper Round-the-World Yacht Race. He led a team of 44 crewmembers on a record-breaking 40,000 nautical mile race around the world where he learned how to create the most engaged, change-embracing culture, with a compelling vision, psychological ownership, and a continuous-improvement mindset. Through his company, Ocean & Boardroom, he has helped clients such as Google, Deloitte, GlaxoSmithKline, L'Oreal, Porsche, Nestle, and Swarovski to apply these principles and achieve winning results.

In his speeches, Hall explores the driving forces behind his team’s extraordinary result, including a focus on embracing change, psychological safety, emotional intelligence, autonomy, trust, and creating a culture of full ownership.

Hall is the author of "Team Spirit: Life & Leadership On The World’s Toughest Yacht Race," a valuable resource for business leaders, which has been featured in Economia and The Sunday Times, and shortlisted for the prestigious Mountbatten Book Award. He is also an adjunct lecturer at Ashridge Executive Education and Cranfield Business Schools in the UK.

As well as keynotes and inspiring team talks, Hall also runs highly interactive masterclasses, in which participants re-contextualize the themes from his story into their own organization, build stronger connections, take concrete steps towards greater ownership, and collaborate to deliver excellence in the face of adversity and change.

Brendan Hall Speaking Topics

  • Stronger Teamwork in Adversity & Change

    In this talk, Brendan Hall shares the two keys to stronger teamwork he learned when sailing around the world. Both of them were learned in the aftermath of dramatic, near-death experiences, so expect an exciting story, with two practical takeaways for better teamwork.

    The audience will learn how to co-create a growth mindset in their team and how to accept the inevitability of problems during periods of change.

  • Leading Teams Through Uncertainty

    In this keynote, aimed at audiences of leaders, Brendan Hall will share the two most powerful strategies he’s learned leading his team to victory though life-and-death situations on the world’s oceans. He wasn’t the greatest leader from the outset, and experience is a harsh teacher – giving the test first and the lesson after.

    The audience will learn how to create a team that is biased towards taking action, rather than waiting for guidance or spoon-feeding. Teams where team members feel safe to operate autonomously, take calculated risks and innovate, freeing the leader’s time up to focus on adding value at a higher level, doing the stuff that only they can do.
