We don't create a temporary high. We set an operating standard for the year ahead.

04

Motivation

Everyone leaves fired up. Three weeks later, most people are behaving exactly as they did before.

A new target requires new behaviour — built, tested and owned under real conditions.

02 · The Tempest Two Formula

Awareness. Application. Accountability.

A Tempest Two speaker addressing a full theatre

01 · Awareness

The Keynote

A cinematic, story-led keynote built around courage, adaptability and acting before you feel ready. Stories from ocean crossings, big walls and expeditions become a practical framework for the year ahead.

02 · Application

The Expedition

We place teams into a specially designed ‘Expedition’ where we create uncertainty, incomplete information, time pressure, changing conditions and decisions that have consequences. Then the plan changes...

03 · Accountability

The Commitment

The experience finishes by bringing everything back to the year ahead. Your team creates its own standard — a small number of operating behaviours they commit to carrying into the year.

03 · The Outcomes

Hesitation in uncertain market conditions

Decisive action before you feel ready

06 · The Foundation

Not from atextbook.

The Tempest Two have spent the last decade deliberately stepping into environments where the outcome wasn't certain.

Atlantic crossings. El Capitan. Ultra-endurance challenges. And hundreds of rooms filled with teams facing their own versions of uncertainty.
