Caspar Craven is a Motivational Leadership & Teamwork Speaker, Author, and Leading Authority on the Mindset needed to achieve Big Bold Goals. 

Caspar learned first-hand that success isn't about avoiding challenges; it's about embracing them and harnessing their power.  He started as a young entrepreneur at 14, and has built and led teams in global corporations, start-up businesses, struggling businesses, and high-growth businesses. Caspar worked for five years at KPMG Corporate Finance and since then has had roles as CEO, CFO, and Board Advisor with multiple successful business exits.

Caspar sailed TWICE around the world - the first time on the World’s Toughest Yacht Race, the BT Global Challenge, and the second time with his family team, his wife, and their three children under the age of ten. 

Drawing from his own lived experiences and research from his latest books, Caspar encourages audiences to adopt a Big Bold Mindset, focusing on deep listening, learning, growth, and resilience to turn the impossible into the possible.  

To solve the problems of today we need fresh thinking. Caspar’s Keynotes and Workshops equip teams and organisations with the tools to leverage their challenges to fuel creativity and foster collaboration and innovation.

Is your upcoming event about achieving Big Bold Goals?

What is the Mindset, Leadership and Teamwork that you need? What are the frameworks and principles you need to use together as a team?

To set, tackle and achieve your audacious goals, there is ONE distinctively human competitive advantage that you and your team must leverage…. the extraordinary skills within your people. It is the mindset and approach to leadership and teamwork that you use to unlock this that will shape the success of your organisation.

CULTURE - 87% of organisations cite culture/ engagement as one of their top leadership challenges (Deloitte)

RESILIENCE - Teams who trust their leaders are 42 times more likely to be highly resilient (MIT Sloan) and yet recent research from Hubspot shows that 52% of people would trust a stranger before their manager!

AGILITY - Agile firms grow revenue 37% faster and generate 30% higher profits than non-agile firms (MIT).

It’s time to think Big. It’s time to think Bold. It’s time to think Big Bold Goals.

Big Bold Goals stretch what we believe is possible.

When we set Big Bold Goals, we also build a plan grounded in reality to achieve it. Goals like ‘5x or 10x’ not only engage and focus a team, they force us to get creative and innovate in ways we may not have otherwise considered.

Caspar’s obsession is with what it takes to set, tackle and achieve big bold goals, and the leadership and teamwork needed to deliver them.

He understands, firsthand, the importance of putting people first in order to achieve big bold goals. He understands because he has made every mistake in the book on the way to achieving a number of big bold goals. He has truly lived what he talks about.

A regular speaker at corporate events and conferences around the world both in person and virtually, Caspar leaves audiences feeling energised, and with powerful takeaways that they can use immediately both at work and home. Actioning ideas is crucial as we adapt to today’s rapidly changing world.

A wide range of personal experiences began with his time as an entrepreneur building and selling businesses, as an executive in large companies and also from having twice sailed around the world.

His obsession with the leadership and teamwork needed to achieve big bold goals has taken him on a journey to research, study, interview, and learn from the most successful and audacious leaders on the planet, and the science and psychology that explains audacious leadership. Success leaves clues and it's the patterns and observations he’s found together with his own lived experiences that he shares with audiences.

Caspar’s talks are story led which will take you on a journey where you can turn the impossible into the possible, leaving your team inspired and fired up for the times ahead, ready, willing, and able to achieve your big bold goals.
