Sue Stockdale is a remarkable adventurer, author, and TEDx speaker. In 1996, Sue became the first British woman to reach the magnetic North Pole, surviving extreme cold and hauling a 60kg sledge for 12 hours a day. It was in those icy depths that Sue discovered the boundless potential within us all and her life’s became clear - to inspire others to explore their potential. 

Sue's travels span 70 countries, including expeditions to Antarctica, Greenland, Patagonia and the Wadi Rum desert and her accolades include being awarded an Honorary Fellowship by the Royal Scottish Geographical Society.   

Beyond adventures, Sue is a sought-after executive coach to CEO’s and leaders. Her academic achievements include an MBA in Entrepreneurship and an MSc in Quality Management, along with a Global Coaching Leadership Award.

Her podcast, Access to Inspiration, is in the top 5% most popular globally. With nine books published, including her memoir "Explore: A Life of Adventure," Sue Stockdale is a true trailblazer.
