Isaac Kenyon is recognised globally as a leading voice on human resilience, sustainable performance, and purpose-driven leadership. A world record-breaking eco adventurer, endurance athlete, and international keynote speaker, he is known for translating extreme experiences into practical insight for modern organisations. As a mental health survivor who has overcome burnout, eco anxiety, and profound personal challenge, Isaac brings authenticity and depth to his work, helping leaders and teams navigate pressure with clarity, compassion, and confidence.
His early career was shaped by a deep connection to exploration and the outdoors, founding expedition initiatives that combined adventure with social impact. These formative years saw him develop exceptional physical and mental endurance, culminating in an unsupported Atlantic Ocean row and multiple record-breaking endurance challenges. Alongside these feats, Isaac pursued professional coaching accreditation and began speaking publicly about resilience, mental health, and the restorative power of nature. A widely viewed TEDx talk, 'Freedom and Opportunity from Being Outdoors', further established his ability to communicate complex human themes with clarity and emotional impact.
Over time, Isaac’s achievements expanded into world-first eco adventures, including cycling over sea and land across the length of the United Kingdom and completing an Ironman triathlon wearing a weighted vest to demonstrate sustainable performance under load. He has broken multiple indoor rowing records, climbed and led in challenging mountain environments, and used creative endurance challenges to raise awareness for mental health and environmental causes. A fellow of several leading scientific and geographical institutions and a trustee for the mental health charity Mind, he has also appeared as a television presenter, spokesperson for marine conservation, and speaker at the United Nations. Through these endeavours, he has raised over £1 million for meaningful causes and positively impacted hundreds of thousands of people.
Isaac is hired as a motivational speaker because he delivers far more than inspiration. He combines lived experience, scientific insight, and elite performance psychology to create lasting behavioural change. As founder and CEO of a B Corporation, Climate Explorers CIC, focused on climate and wellbeing, he understands organisational pressure from investors, regulators, and culture alike. His keynotes consistently energise audiences, improve mindset, and equip leaders with practical tools to perform sustainably. In a world facing widespread burnout and disconnection, Isaac Kenyon demonstrates that extraordinary performance begins with human wellbeing, purpose, and resilient leadership.
