More people have climbed Mt Everest than rowed across the Atlantic. How do you plan and project manage such an undertaking full of risk, uncertainty and danger!
In 2019, serving soldiers Richard, Chris, Alex and Kian rowed 3,000
miles across the Atlantic Ocean in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic
Challenge 2019 in 37 days, 13 hours and 53 minutes. Private Kian Helm
has become the youngest person to row across the Atlantic as part of a
team aged 18!
The “world’s toughest row” departed in mid-December taking the
team across the North Atlantic Ocean in an 8.5m long rowing boat,
unsupported. This is be the ultimate test of physical and mental
endurance. Rowing in gruelling two hour shifts day and night, the team
battled their way through the waves from La Gomera in the Canary
Islands to the beaches of Antigua. Sleep deprivation, blisters and
salt sores were just a few of the treats that the team endured.
Lt Col Richard J Hall MBE YORKS
Lt Col Richard Hall led the team in the planning and preparation
of this epic adventure. Lt Col Richard will share how you project
manage such an undertaking and what skills you need in leadership,
risk management and many more.
