An ordinary man with an extraordinary story: the geography teacher-turned-adventurer, who inspires mindset change to equip us to face our challenges.

Rob Lilwall is an adventurer, author, and keynote speaker. He has embarked on several independent adventures by bicycle and foot across 50,000 miles of the world, including through Siberia, Tibet and Mongolia in winter, as well as Papua New Guinea, Australia, China, Iran and Afghanistan. Two of his adventures have become National Geographic TV channel programmes. He has also written two books about his expeditions.

In his speeches, Rob takes the audience with him on his journey, bringing to life the mindsets that are needed to succeed in today's uncertain, high-pressure and high-opportunity business environment. He weaves in powerful takeaways to empower the audience to thrive amid change, embrace challenges, and achieve great goals. His speeches have inspired more than 50,000 people in over 50 cities around the world, to organisations such as AIA, Deutsche Bank, IBM, Microsoft, Marriott Hotel and many more. Rob's keynote speeches are ideal for conferences, town halls and off-sites where you need an inspiring, out-of-the-box story to both add value and create a "wow" factor for the event.
