Debra Searle

Debra Searle MBE -  a professional adventurer, author and motivational speaker When Debra Searle and her then husband signed up for a 3000 mile rowing race across the Atlantic, they expected to complete it within 60 days. However, after just a few days at sea, Andrew developed an uncontrollable fear of the ocean and had to leave the boat.  Debra decided to continue alone. During her 111 days at sea, Debra battled loneliness, exhaustion, sharks and huge oil tankers, and tells the story of how she triumphed by using a few key strategies which helped her to stay motivated and achieve her ‘impossible’ goal.

What she had achieved by her mid 30′s is astonishing – she has been awarded a first class honours degree, launched two companies, won World Championship medals for GB, presented over 40 programmes for the BBC, had two books published, become the youngest ever trustee of The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. In 2002 HM The Queen awarded Debra an MBE for her achievements.

A true inspiration who has been trusted as keynote speaker for many of the world’s top organisations such as IBM, Unilever, Johnson & Johnson, UBS, Microsoft, VISA, Vodafone and Pfizer.
