About Keynote Speaker The Tempest Two

The Tempest Two, Tom Caulfield and James Whittle are some of the most respected speakers on high-performance, resilience & mindset on the planet. Through cinematic storytelling and science-backed frameworks, they show audiences what becomes possible when ordinary people commit to extraordinary standards, and give them the tools to do it themselves.

Their credibility is built on a decade of real-world experiments in human performance. In 2015, with no rowing experience, they rowed 3,000 miles across the Atlantic in 54 days. They’ve since completed a world-first ultra triathlon across Patagonia and climbed El Capitan in Yosemite, having never climbed before.

What makes them different on stage is what makes them different full stop: relatability. No Olympic medals. No military background. No elite training. Just two friends who keep proving that high performance isn’t reserved for the elite. It’s a system anyone can learn. That message resonates because audiences see themselves in it.

Their keynotes blend immersive, cinematic visuals with actionable insight drawn from psychology and neuroscience. They speak on mindset, resilience, adaptability, culture and leading through uncertainty, always tailored to the audience and always designed to stay with people long after the event.

Their client list is made up of the most ambitious companies on the planet, and they are trusted partners to senior leaders at JP Morgan, BNY, Microsoft, Google Airbnb, Amazon, Nike and many more. The Tempest Two deliver keynotes, half-day sessions and full-day programmes for conferences, leadership summits, sales kick-offs and executive away days.
