Workshop Wednesday - Maverick waves to Atlantic crossings with Chris Bertish

From maverick waves to Atlantic crossings, what does it take to succeed when the stakes are at their highest? Whether you're facing down 60-foot waves, paddling alone across an ocean, or navigating a stormy economic climate in your business, the answer lies in your relentless preparation and unnerving grit.

This month's Workshop Wednesday welcomes speaker Chris Bertish, big-wave surfer, world-record adventurer and business speaker, who has spent his life shifting the boundaries of what's possible. Chris has built a career and spent a lifetime turning extreme endurance into life lessons on leadership, resilience and purpose. This month, Chris shares the next-level research, meticulous planning and relentless preparation that carried him through 93 days alone at sea and how those same principles apply to conquering the storms of business and life. This isn't just a survival story; it's a masterclass in digging into your deepest reserves when everything is on the line.

All ticket proceeds go toward building a sustainable, circular-economy school classroom for children in Northern Kenya and supporting global reforestation through the planting of thousands of trees, work carried out by the Chris Bertish Foundation.

Join us this Workshop Wednesday and become part of the expedition crew, turning inspiration into tangible education, hope and conservation for the communities that need it most.
