Vicki Anstey

Vicki Anstey is a Double World Record Holder, adventurer, keynote speaker and resilience coach, helping teams unlock their hidden 60%.

Many assume life’s greatest challenges are physical rowing an ocean, surviving Arctic extremes or enduring elite military selection. In truth, the toughest battles are fought within the mind.

Vicki Anstey is living proof that extraordinary achievement doesn’t require superhuman strength. It requires emotional mastery, resilience and the courage to act in the face of fear.

After spending two decades in a controlling relationship, Vicki made the decision to change her life. That single choice ignited a powerful transformation from advertising professional to award-winning entrepreneur, elite endurance athlete and internationally recognised motivational speaker.

At 41, she became one of the first women to reach the final stages of Channel 4’s SAS: Who Dares Wins, enduring 11 days of relentless physical and psychological challenges at 3,000 feet in the Chilean Andes.

In 2021, Vicki set a World Record with Girls Who Dare, rowing unsupported across the Pacific Ocean in 60 days, 17 hours and 6 minutes, overcoming a lifelong fear of open water along the way.

More recently, she competed in the World’s Toughest Bike Race, cycling 3,000 miles across America as part of a four-woman team in 6 days, 19 hours and 38 minutes, with a Guinness World Record pending.

Her endurance achievements also include multiple 250km ultra-distance races, self-supported across some of the planet’s most extreme environments from -35°C Arctic ice caps to the 50°C heat of the Kenyan savannah.

Yet Vicki’s most powerful story and the one that resonates most deeply with audiences is not about endurance, but emotional resilience.

Keynote Speaker

As a TEDx speaker, mentor and stress resilience coach, Vicki delivers inspiring, practical keynotes that help individuals and teams understand how fear, self-doubt and emotional overload limit performance and how to move beyond them.

Her talks empower audiences to:

• Build emotional resilience under pressure
• Navigate fear and uncertainty with confidence
• Strengthen empathy and teamwork
• Unlock untapped personal and professional potential

Blending vulnerability with strength, Vicki creates a safe space for honest reflection while challenging people to rise higher than they thought possible. Her message is clear: fearlessness is not required only the willingness to face fear and respond with intention.
