Motivational speaker Tony Mowbray rounding Cape Horn
Motivational speaker Tony Mowbray will tell his story of the ‘Power of Commitment’ that enabled him to become the fastest Australian to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around the world. Two years earlier, Tony and his crew on board his yacht ‘Solo Globe Challenger’ were part of the 1998 Sydney to Hobart yacht race, which encountered the worst race-conditions in its 54 year history. Tony’s inspiring story will offer marine15 delegates with a recipe for success in today’s challenging business climate.
