Rowing non-stop for two hours on, two hours off, across a grueling 3,000 miles of Atlantic Ocean is not only a test of physical endurance, but also a testament to mental resilience.

Victoria Monk understands this better than anyone, as she faced the daunting challenge head-on. Enduring almost 40 days at sea, battling severe sleep deprivation, excruciating sores, blisters, and relentless seasickness, all while confronting towering 30ft waves in a 9.6-meter boat with three other women, Victoria developed an incredible mindset.

Now, with a record-breaking Atlantic crossing under her belt, Victoria aims to share her experience and teach others how to tackle their own, seemingly impossible goals.

Victoria speaks of how to unite and lead a team of ordinary people, who were previously strangers, to achieve extraordinary feats. She believes in overcoming adversity and building a resilient mindset. Victoria will enlighten you on how to navigate through the storm and emphasize the power of effective communication, even in tight spaces.

Victoria’s talks delve into the lessons she learned in leadership, tenacity, and sheer determination. Her ability to handle pressure, fear, success, and failure resonates with audiences from all walks of life. Her message is one of empowerment, to say – if Victoria can cross the Atlantic Ocean, unsupported, in a tiny rowing boat without any prior rowing experience, you too can find inspiration to conquer your own ‘Atlantic Ocean,’ whatever that looks like, be it in work, or life.
