Oli France guides teams through the world’s wildest places.
Oli’s mission is quite simple: To guide the audience on a journey, bringing empowering new perspectives on resilience, self-confidence, leadership and how we can fulfil our boldest life goals.
Oli’s passion for adventure began after spending his teens and early twenties on countless misadventures, be it dodging bombings in Beirut or searching for lions with Army Generals in Uganda. Since then, his adventures have taken him through deserts, jungles, mountains, and war-torn regions across over 75 countries. It’s seen him lead teams through countless high-risk situations, from the highest mountain in Iraq, to the militia-filled jungles of the Congo, to the backstreets of Aleppo, Syria.
The pressures and perils of expedition life mean that quickly developing high- functioning teams is vital.
Oli completed an 8000-mile solo winter journey across the mountainous spine of Asia, Guided one of the first tourist groups through Syria since the start of the civil war, completed a solo 405-mile crossing of the world’s biggest frozen lake in Siberia and most recently in 2024 became the first person this century to complete a human-powered journey from Death Valley to Denali, the lowest point in North America to the highest, entirely by human-power.
Oli has guided teams through countless high-risk situations across the globe, from the highest mountain in Iraq, to the militia-filled jungles of the Congo, to the backstreets of Aleppo, Syria. The pressures and perils of expedition life mean that quickly developing high-functioning teams is vital. Oli shares his leadership lessons from these demanding environments, where calm decision-making, intensive planning, open communication and understanding the human factor within our teams is critical. Leaders and teams alike will leave the talk with new methods for building the resilient, caring and high-performing teams needed to achieve success.
What does it take to achieve the boldest world-class goals? Oli France draws on his extraordinary experiences leading elite teams through the most challenging environments on Earth. In Summit Vision, Oli shares the crucial elements that drive success: precise planning, unwavering commitment, exceptional trust and teamwork, zero complacency and relentless focus on a shared vision. Through captivating stories and practical lessons, Oli illustrates the importance of leading with clarity and purpose, fostering an elite team culture, and maintaining absolute focus to achieve ambitious objectives.
Oli has faced countless bleak situations while operating in high-risk environments across the globe. He has learned though that we each hold the power to uncover the light in even the darkest places. Oli’s message is that everything is a matter of perspective, and we can learn to control it. Audiences will feel empowered to not only cope with difficult situations, but to see them as an opportunity to thrive and grow.
So often we look at those who are successful as ‘Happy, Confident People.’ It’s true that our self confidence can sometimes be the limiting factor in achieving our goals. Having guided people from all walks of life on intrepid journeys across the globe, Oli knows that we all possess a deep-rooted confidence, even if we feel unsure where to find it. Oli shares what we can do to unlock our confidence, leaving the audience filled with a newfound sense of positivity and self-belief with which to approach our boldest ambitions.
We invited Oli to be our keynote speaker for our Landscape Focus Day. Oli did not disappoint with a really enlightening and inspirational talk which left our team more than motivated to look at the days’ challenges.
I really appreciate the professionalism that went into Oli’s presentation. He managed to link it perfectly to what we do at Covetrus – very well done!
