About The Tempest Two
Audiences always say that what makes The Tempest Two particularly distinctive is their relatability. They are not former Olympians or military leaders, but two ordinary friends who have consistently pushed beyond perceived limits by developing the right mindset, habits and adaptability to perform under pressure. Their experiences are underpinned by insights from neuroscience and psychology, allowing them to connect high-performance thinking with real-world organisational challenges.
Combining cinematic storytelling with science-backed frameworks, they help teams and leaders understand how to remain focused, resilient and courageous in environments where uncertainty and change are constant. Their sessions are designed to create lasting behavioural change, equipping audiences with practical tools to improve motivation, performance and engagement long after the event itself.
Trusted by leading global organisations, The Tempest Two deliver keynote sessions that are energetic, human and highly actionable, showing that extraordinary results are often achieved not through exceptional talent, but through consistent preparation, adaptability and the willingness to embrace discomfort.

Adapting to Change
Change can feel disruptive, but it’s also where growth lives. In this energising talk, The Tempest Two show how to reframe uncertainty as opportunity, sharing lessons from bold adventures and business pivots alike. Expect inspiring stories, practical frameworks, and a fresh perspective on how to stay agile when everything shifts. Teams walk away ready to navigate change with confidence and turn challenges into breakthroughs.
Leadership
True leadership isn’t about job titles or managing big teams – it’s about the example you set. In this keynote, James and Tommy share powerful stories of stepping into the unknown and making bold decisions when no playbook existed. They show how leading with courage, integrity, and action can spark change and inspire others, whether you’re guiding a project, shaping culture, or simply showing up at your best every day. Audiences leave with a clear sense of how to lead from the front, by living the behaviours they want others to follow.
High Performance
High performance isn’t reserved for elite athletes or lifelong specialists. The Tempest Two have repeatedly proven that ordinary people can reach extraordinary levels. Whether in endurance sports, extreme expeditions, or fast-moving business ventures. Without decades of single-track training. In this keynote, they unpack the mindset and habits that allow you to perform at a high level again and again, in any field. Audiences learn how to build transferable skills, unlock adaptable resilience, and create a repeatable process for peak performance that fits real life, not just one arena.
Client Feedback
"The Tempest Two joined us on the High Performance Live Tour and were exceptional. The crowd reacted brilliantly to their compelling, entertaining presentation. They have a unique and engaging way of making amazing physical challenges seem relatable. The 1300 people in the audience were on their feet and we can’t wait to work with them again."
Jake Humphrey, Founder, High Performance Podcast
"These two are different because their attitude is infectious and they look beyond what you have asked them to do and give you something better."

"Tom and James are two of the very best! Our team couldn’t stop talking about their incredible achievements, their rollercoaster story and most amazingly the fact that they are two normal people who have learned to remove ‘Can’t’ from their vocabulary and in doing so have completed some awe inspiring challenges."
Microsoft
"We brought The Tempest Two in to speak at a global event for our senior leadership team in Miami. Over the years, I have struggled with finding speakers who truly deliver excellence, on this occasion, excellence was achieved. I have recommended them to numerous stakeholders in teams across JPM, and to this day have never felt so inspired by an hour long talk. Superb on all fronts."
J.P. Morgan
"We booked Tom & James for a global conference in Denver after speaking to a London colleague who told us ‘we had to use them’. She was not mistaken. What The Tempest Two delivered in 60 minutes, has been spoken about amongst attendees for months following. The way they crafted their keynote around a specific brief was incredible. I speak about them regularly to friends."
"The absolute highlight of the event."

"Inspirational doesn't come close to describing Tom and James's achievement. I have been involved in team off-sites for the past 5 years, and I have no hesitation in saying this was the best - by far. I gave the boys a challenging brief, and they delivered something this group of people have been talking about for weeks following."
