Motivator. Mariner. Marketer. Felicity Ashley has led through and lived through change -from 20 years in blue-chip marketing leadership to extraordinary endurance adventures.

She rowed the Atlantic unknowingly fighting cancer, conquered the mid-Pacific and completed the Everest Marathon. One of fewer than 15 women to have rowed both oceans, she knows what it takes to keep going when things get tough - and why no one achieves something extraordinary alone.

But Felicity’s story isn’t just about oceans, mountains or finish lines. It’s about the moments we all face: when plans unravel, uncertainty takes hold and we have to find a way forward.

With warmth, humour and candour, she connects the lessons of her adventures with the realities of working life. Drawing on her corporate experience and personal challenges, she helps leaders and teams navigate change, build resilience and perform under pressure. Her talks combine honest storytelling with practical strategies for strengthening mindset, adapting when circumstances shift and pulling together when it matters most.

Felicity doesn’t present herself as superhuman. She shows what is possible when ordinary people challenge their perceived limits, support each other and take the next step - even when they can’t see the finish line.
