Neal Petersen completed two amazing journeys in his life: a single-handed yacht race around the world, 27,000 miles, 9 months at sea, alone, around Cape Horn, and in the smallest, least funded, the boat he designed and built himself. And an even more arduous and eventful trip of overcoming racial prejudice during the harsh Apartheid era in South Africa, poverty, and a childhood physical disability, just to make it to the start line!
Neal inspires organizations to foster innovation, build stronger teams, adapt under pressure, and cultivate a mindset that focuses on solutions! With high energy and a fully engaging presentation style, Peterson's audiences are spellbound from the moment he walks on stage until he departs. Neal lays out the importance of a clearly communicated vision, followed by detailed planning, preparation, passion, and then execution. Neal has challenged global audiences to prevail against their own formidable barriers and setbacks while igniting renewed passion as they navigate forward.
