About Jamie

Thriving In Extreme Terrain


Jamie Clarke is the only person ever to summit the world’s highest mountain and cross the world’s largest sand desert.

“How do you create high-performing teams when the terrain has completely changed?” It’s the question leaders ask Jamie Clarke most, and one he’s spent his life answering literally. Jamie is the only person to summit Mount Everest and cross the world’s largest sand desert, and both taught him the same lesson: team excellence under pressure doesn’t live or die by extreme terrain or extreme talent. It happens through simple (but profound) everyday choices anyone can make.

Jamie brings this hard-earned lesson to life through keynotes that take audiences from laughter to tears, shared to date with organizations in 20 countries across five continents.

Meeting Leadership

Performance Under Pressure

Jamie Clarke has observed great teams from the inside and the outside: Olympic teams, NHL teams, leadership teams, sales teams and start-up teams. What connects them all is pressure — external or self-imposed.

With his own hard-won philosophy of risk management — and a storytelling technique that can take you from laughter to tears in minutes — Jamie can facilitate meetings and events that will live long in the memory. He recharges audiences with a new perspective on success and failure, risk and reward, kindness and courage.

From The Room

What Organisers Say

“Jamie Clarke is without a doubt one of the best motivational speakers I have ever witnessed. He captivated our professional services audience of over 4,000 people. Jamie made us laugh, cry, and adeptly integrated an understanding of our business into his story of adventure and brought the house down. He is the best!”

Peter Kilman

Director, U.S. Communications, Deloitte Services LP

“WOW! I get to see some pretty high-profile speakers: George Bush (both), Colin Powell, Mikhail Gorbachev, and scores of ‘big-name’ CEOs and entertainers. You made me laugh till my sides hurt and moments later your words brought tears rolling down my cheeks. You did it all with an ease and confidence that would make any public speaker incredibly jealous.”
