Julie Angus
Julie is an accomplished adventurer, bestselling author and scientist. She is the first woman to row across the Atlantic Ocean from mainland to mainland and a recipient of the National Geographic Adventurer of the Year award. She has also cycled across continents, rowed thousands of kilometers of coastlines and rivers, and organized a National Geographic expedition that sailed the ancient Phoenician trading routes. Explore Magazine listed her as one of North America's leading adventurers and she is regularly seen on television shows such as Canada AM, CBC Sunday News and Daily Planet. She is an engaging and entertaining speaker who inspires audiences and demonstrates techniques we can all use to reach goals and overcome challenges.
What makes Julie's story remarkable is that prior to rowing across an ocean, she had no previous experience as an adventurer. A trained biologist with a graduate degree in Molecular Biology, Julie worked in venture capital, business development and technology transfer to build and grow innovative biotech companies. She applied the skills she learned in the business environment to adventure, quickly realizing that the strategies to success in each realm are strikingly similar. Whether she is leading a National Geographic expedition or navigating a rowboat through a hurricane, her techniques offer businesses and organizations insights into negotiating today's challenging environment.
Julie's unique approach has been highlighted in business publications including Investor's Business Daily and BC Business, and she has written for The Globe and Mail, National Post, and enRoute magazine. She is the bestselling author of three books and co-producer of two award-winning documentaries. Her photography has appeared in Outside magazine, Explore magazine, Reader's Digest, The Guardian and various National Geographic publications. She was awarded the Arch Award for her achievements from McMaster University.
Julie has addressed hundreds of groups. Her clients include professional associations, school districts, government agencies, non-profit organizations and corporations.
