Your Facilitators
Natalia Cohen knows first-hand what it takes to chart a course and execute a plan as a team. In 2016 Natalia along with three other women were the first four person team to row across the Pacific Ocean from California to Australia. Their perilous nine-month journey set new records and showcased what a determined team can accomplish when they set clear goals, work well together and prepare for the unknown. During the workshop Natalia will share her experience and what it took to achieve this amazing feat.
Natalia is a motivational and keynote speaker who has a passion for pushing people to be their best. She has spoken to corporate audiences around the globe, been featured as a TEDx speaker and on several podcasts.
Brian Formato has spent his 25-year career helping individuals and team to maximize performance. While he has not rowed an ocean, Brian runs an experiential leadership development program, LeaderSurf that leverages the ocean as a teaching tool. Brian teaches business executives how to surf and uses the surfing metaphor to encourage leaders to push outside their comfort zones.
