Speaking Experience

Brad has broad speaking experience to a variety of organisations and companies. He has also given lectures while traveling on Antarctic cruise ships, at a literary festival, leading UK secondary school, a Wharton Alumni Association, the Royal Geographical Society and the Scott Polar Research Institute.

Heard Brad Borkan speak recently. He paralleled the adventures of leadership with the adventures of Shackleton and his expeditions. Brad isn’t just a speaker…..he’s a storyteller! One of the best. Engaging, insightful. His storytelling makes ice floes and life-threatening weather vividly exciting.”
