Beyond the Applause

About Liz

"Extraordinary performance isn't created by extraordinary people. It's created by ordinary people who make extraordinary decisions when it matters most."

Liz Mayon-White is an adventurer, endurance athlete, author and keynote speaker whose life has rarely followed a straight line.


In her twenties, she became a professional yacht skipper before rowing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic, becoming the 19th woman in the world to row an ocean and the first woman to row into Antigua.


Years later, she represented Great Britain in Age Group triathlon, alongside a 25-year career in leadership, including helping lead one of the UK's large scale Covid vaccination centres.


In 2022, shortly after competing at the World Triathlon Championships, Liz was diagnosed with aggressive throat cancer. Treatment challenged much of what she thought she knew about strength, resilience and asking for help.


Following treatment, Liz returned to endurance sport, taking on ultramarathons and proving to herself that there are still new challenges to explore.


Today, Liz combines those extraordinary experiences with a refreshingly honest perspective on the challenges we all face.


Because resilience isn't always about pushing through. Sometimes it's about recognising that we don't have to do everything alone.


Her message isn't about becoming extraordinary. It's about discovering what's possible in the life we already have.
