DESCRIPTION:Spending up to five months alone at sea\, rowing for twelve ho
 urs a day\, may appear extreme\, but Roz Savage will suggest that\, like m
 any major achievements\, an epic ocean voyage is simply the accumulation o
 f a very large number of tiny actions applied consistently over time. This
  power of accumulation also applies to phenomena as diverse as environment
 al degradation (or restoration)\, living a life of meaning and purpose\, o
 r creating the collective future that serves the needs of people and plane
 t. In this very personal lecture\, she uses her ocean rowing adventures as
  the underlying narrative for musings on solitude\, psychology\, sustainab
 ility\, systems thinking\, the hero’s journey\, truth\, identity\, and f
 ree will.\n\nBiography\n\nRoz Savage MBE spent the first 11 years of her c
 areer working as a management consultant\, before an environmental epiphan
 y led to her transformation into a world-class adventurer. Since 2005 Roz 
 has rowed\, solo\, across the Atlantic\, Pacific and Indian Oceans making 
 her the world’s foremost female ocean rower. On the ocean Roz had to red
 efine her comfort zone on a daily basis\, and reach deep into her inner so
 urces of strength\, self-discipline\, and commitment to her goal\, as she 
 spent up to five months alone at sea on a 23-foot rowboat\, thousands of m
 iles from land and humanity\, at the mercy of winds\, waves and currents.\
 nRoz now speaks to organisations all over the world that are keen to find 
 new ways to inspire and motivate more engaged\, happy and purpose-driven i
 ndividuals. She shares stories from the epic adventures she has experience
 d and the lessons she has learned. Her speeches help audiences to take mor
 e personal responsibility for their individual and collective success\, fi
 nd higher levels of resilience and courage\, more effectively navigate the
  uncharted waters of change and invest more of themselves into every chall
 enge they undertake.
