Sue Stockdale
Sue Stockdale is an inspirational speaker, coach and adventurer whose business and adventure experience has helped hundreds of leaders and entrepreneurs step out of their comfort zone and achieve extraordinary results. From athlete and adventurer to entrepreneur and executive coach, Sue demonstrates how you can achieve anything if you believe it is possible. Her keynote presentations include powerful images and thought-provoking messages and as a result, attendees leave with more enthusiasm, focus, and commitment to action. Sue started her career in Corporate Training and Development working for British Gas in the UK and then moved to a role with the United Nations in the former Yugoslavia. In 1995, Sue saw an advertisement in a newspaper which said: “Wanted – novice arctic explorers to ski to the Magnetic North Pole”. As an athlete who had represented Scotland, Sue knew she might be fit enough, but had no experience of cross-country skiing or arctic temperatures. She sent off for details and when the brochure arrived asking “are you man enough for the Ultimate Challenge?” she became determined to win her place on the team. Following months of assessments and gruelling tests, she was eventually chosen from over 500 applicants, and after raising $25,000 she achieved her place on the expedition. During the 30 day expedition, Sue was continually tested both physically and mentally and became the first British woman to ski to the Magnetic North Pole. After this success, Sue took part in expeditions to the Geographical North Pole, Antarctica and Greenland. She finished runner-up in Channel 4’s Superhuman undergoing some of the toughest scientific tests ever seen on TV
