Wilkinson Chambers served in the
Royal Marine Commandos for sixteen
years. A qualified diver, parachutist,
paramedic and ski survival instructor
he has lived and worked around the
globe in the most extreme climates
- including deserts, jungles, mountains
and the arctic. |
|
In
the spring of 2000, he led the first
successful British team to walk
unsupported from Canada to the Geographical
North Pole. After immense challenges,
including the evacuation of two
team members, extreme frostbite
and hunger, a dwindling fuel supply
and the worst polar weather in a
hundred years, his team managed
to raise the Union Flag on top of
the world at 23:16 hours 16th May
2000. More men have walked on the
moon than have walked to the North
Pole unsupported. |
|
|
Since
returning from the North Pole, Alan has
left the Royal Marines to focus on delivering
inspirational team management and leadership
talks based on his experiences. His near
impossible expedition demanded an extraordinary
high level of commitment, focus, leadership
and teamwork. His lessons in these areas
alongside the values that brought success
to the endeavour are directly applicable
to the business world. Alan's talks can
be delivered on their own or by working
in conjunction with the Signify consultants
to deliver highly practical sessions.
|
|
As
well as working with Signify, Alan has
also worked with a multi-disciplinary
team to deliver leadership workshops to
entrepreneurs at a London Business School
Summer Programme. He is also working with
90 fulltime MBA students at the University
of Bath on the importance of teamwork
and effective leadership. |
|
Alan
has been awarded an MBE for determination
and strong leadership and is also a fellow
of the Royal Geographical Society England. |
