Conrad Humphreys

Conrad Humphreys is an inspirational team leader and world-class British yachtsman, as well as a renowned personality in the south-west and on the international sailing scene.

Conrad has raced around the world in three different races. From his early days and throughout his career, Conrad has shown his vision and ability to lead and inspire teams. Conrad was just 28 years old when he led his team ‘LG Flatron’ to the finish of the BT Global Challenge in 1st place. Conrad attributes this success to the winning attitude cultivated within the team, the driving philosophies being “winning is infectious” and “self-belief is everything”.  The book “Inspiring Leadership: Staying Afloat in Turbulent Times” was based on the research from this race, in which Conrad’s leadership style and team’s qualities are referred to throughout the publication.  

Conrad is an exceptionally talented speaker and uses the richness of his experiences from his three round-the-world yacht races to captivate his audience. He clearly articulates the challenges of leading teams through some of the most hostile conditions on the planet, and carefully draws out some thought-provoking lessons from his many experiences.  Conrad takes a lot of pride in his delivery and works with every client to tailor his speech. He is also very happy to spend time with his audiences responding to questions.
