Almeda will be featuring in a high-profile showcase event in Bristol this October, where attendees will discover how to build a winning mindset, business, and team.
More than 100 senior leaders from across the South West will hear from keynote speaker Adam Walker, the Founder of the Ocean Walker technique.
Adam is also one of the first people to swim the ‘Ocean’s Seven’, and has successfully transitioned into a globally-renowned business coach.
The event will also feature a world class panel who will share their own thoughts on scaling a business, growing an effective team, and creating an environment where every member can play a role in the achievements of the company.
Who is Adam Walker?
Adam Walker is a British long-distance open water swimmer who has gained global recognition for both his incredible swimming achievements, but also for developing the Ocean Walker technique.
After a long and successful career in competitive swimming, Walker completed the ‘Ocean’s Seven’ challenge, which is considered the most challenging feats of endurance in sport. It involves some of the most difficult and dangerous open seas anywhere in the world.
Walker became the first Brit to successfully swim all seven.
His contributions to open water swimming, particularly his development of the Ocean Walker technique, have had a significant impact on the sport – and now the world of business and creating a winning environment.
What are the Ocean’s Seven?
The seven open water swims completed by Walker included the English Channel (England to France), the North Channel (Scotland to Ireland), the Strait of Gibraltar (Spain to Morocco), the Molokai Channel in Hawaii, the Catalina Channel in California, the Tsugaru Strait in Japan, and the Cook Strait in New Zealand.
What is the Ocean Walker Technique?
During his competitive and open water swimming career, Walker struggled with recurring shoulder injuries.
As a result, he knew he had to develop his own swimming technique to remain at the highest level of competition.
Through perseverance, trial and error, and incredible self-belief in what he wanted to achieve, he developed the Ocean Walker technique.
It has now been adopted by other athletes – including tennis legend Novak Djokovic – to extend their careers with a focus on injury prevention.
Following the end of his swimming career, Walker transitioned into sport and business coaching.
Walker travels the world as a motivational speaker, sharing his experiences, his journey and the mindset required to overcome extreme challenges in all walks of life.
