Victoria Humphries
Anything is Possible
How do you inspire young people to believe in themselves, take on challenges, and step outside their comfort zones? You introduce them to someone who has faced the impossible and kept going. Meet Victoria Humphries—polar explorer, Guinness World Record holder, former Chair of Governors, and champion of resilience. Victoria didn’t just learn about resilience—she lived it.
In 1997, she set off on an expedition to the North Pole, battling temperatures colder than a freezer, shifting ice, and a terrifying fall into the Arctic Ocean. That journey taught her that courage is not about being fearless—it is about facing fear and pushing through anyway.
Her experience does not stop at adventure. With years spent in leadership roles in education, she understands the pressures schools and young people face today. Her mission? To help students develop confidence, resilience, and a mindset that says, ‘What’s the worst that can happen? Just give it a go!’
Victoria’s talks are fun, interactive, and packed with unforgettable stories—no dull lectures, just real-life lessons that make an impact. Whether it is a school assembly, university event, or teacher training session, she leaves audiences energised, motivated, and ready to tackle their next challenge. If you are looking for someone who can inspire students, shift perspectives, and equip young people with the tools they need to thrive, Victoria is the speaker for you.
