Intrepid adventurer to speak at local business

Kevin Biggar is a speaker at this year’s Hauraki-Coromandel Business Awards Gala Evening.

To survive the adventure of being in business, you have to be made of tough stuff.

That's why intrepid kiwi adventurer Kevin Biggar is the perfect keynote speaker for this year's Hauraki-Coromandel Business Awards Gala Evening.

Kevin has won the gruelling Trans-Atlantic rowing race, completed the first unsupported trek by Kiwis to the South Pole and hosted NZ intrepid journey reality TV show First Crossings. He is also a professional motivational speaker who presents at industry conferences and corporate events throughout New Zealand and Australia.

'I talk about how to take on large challenges, improve teamwork, mental toughness and about how to get the most out of yourself and your team,” says Kevin.

'There's no jargon, no sugary self-help double-speak – just real frameworks and practical techniques that leave you energised and more effective in your work and life.”

Awards spokesperson Mark Milmine says the team is really excited to have secured Kevin to share his experiences and insights with the local business community.

'To do all the things Kevin's done takes dedication, stamina, leadership and a whole lot of sheer grit, which are all traits applicable to the challenges faced in business,” he says.
