Vicki Anstey

One of the first women to reach the final stages of Channel 4’s ‘SAS Who Dares Wins’ and in 2021  Vicki secured a new World Record for rowing the mid-Pacific unaided.

She has completed ultra distance races (250kms) across The Arctic in -35 degrees and across the Savannahs of Kenya in temperatures over 50 degrees.

Vicki is the proud UK Ambassador for Inspiring Girls, a wonderful charity set up by Miriam Gonzalez Durantez that seeks to raise the aspirations of girls around the world.

Vicki speaks on themes of resilience, empowerment, psychological safety, self-reliance, high performance teamwork, mindset, facing challenge, the difference between winning and ‘winning well’ and the often over-looked power of ’emotional endurance’.

A Stress & Resilience Coach, advising teams and individuals on the physiological and behavioural impact stress can have on our systems and how we can change/manage that impact, Vicki is also a Certified Coach of a variety of mindset methodologies that she uses both in her work with corporate organisations and that she applies to her own endeavours.

Vicki is fascinated in understanding and analysing behavioural drivers, neuroplasticity and basic evolutionary reasons why we react and behave the way we do – especially under pressure.
