"Control the Controllables"

Navigating Change, Challenge & Uncertainty


We can't control everything that happens to us. But we can control where we put our energy, how we respond and what we do next.


Drawing on experiences from rowing the Atlantic to facing cancer, Liz shows audiences how to focus on what they can influence, adapt when circumstances change and keep moving forward — even when they can't see the whole route ahead.


Perfect for: 

Change, resilience, wellbeing, uncertainty and teams navigating transformation.



"Find Your Horizon"

"Control the Controllables"

"Find Your Horizon"

Growth, Confidence & Chasing What Matters


What happens when we stop living by somebody else's definition of success and start asking what we actually want from our one life?


Through stories of adventure, self-doubt and unexpected achievement, Liz explores how challenging our own beliefs, stepping outside our comfort zone and finding something meaningful to move towards can change what we believe is possible.


Perfect for: 

Personal development, confidence, growth mindset, women's events and employee engagement.


The ONE LIFE Framework

 A practical framework for navigating change, building resilience and taking ownership of what happens next.


Drawing on the principles behind "ONE LIFE. CHASE YOURS", the framework helps individuals, teams and organisations move from uncertainty to greater clarity, confidence and action.


Because inspiration matters — but what you do next matters more.

What Our Clients Say ...

July 2026

Liz spoke at our annual practitioner conference, the theme this yeas was working with change and uncertainty. Liz is fantastic key note speaker and held the room, her emotional story and her ability to tell the narrative and the lesson she learned was inspirational. Liz knows how to make the room feel at ease whilst talking about what is quite an emotive subject. I would recommend Liz to anyone looking for real stories, insight and resilience.

June 2026

Liz has a rare ability to connect extraordinary adventures with the everyday challenges we face in business. Her storytelling is captivating, but it's the practical takeaways that really set her apart. She challenged our thinking, inspired meaningful conversations and gave our leaders simple, memorable tools they could immediately apply back in the workplace."

April 2026

Liz didn't just tell her incredible story,  she translated it into practical leadership lessons that resonated long after the event had finished. Her keynote was engaging, authentic and full of action points. Our audience left with a fresh perspective on resilience, leadership and performing under pressure, and we've continued referring back to her 'Control the Controllables' message ever since."

March 2026

Liz was a dream to work with. She was the closing keynote at our GSA/ISA Prep and Junior Heads Conference - her presentation was powerful, inspiring and you could have heard a pin drop as she spoke. She was the epitome of ‘motivational speaker’ - highly recommend her audiences of any age or size.

March 2026

Liz joined us as a speaker for our International Women’s Day event and was absolutely fantastic. She delivered a truly inspiring talk, sharing her personal journey, the challenges she’s faced, and how she has overcome them with determination and resilience. She was captivating from start to finish, and it was incredibly moving to hear her story. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a powerful and engaging speaker. Her communication throughout the booking process was smooth and professional. A truly inspirational woman! 

February 2026

 We had a talk from Liz and I was blown away. Lately I have let my anxiety get the better of me, with complications in my personal life and work being busy I just felt overwhelmed but I took away such inspiration from the talk and key phrases, which I now have written down on my desk diary, so I can see them when I need to "pause, breathe and reframe". 

Highly recommend. 

January 2026

Liz was a pleasure to work with from our introductory meeting to her arriving and delivering her keynote at our graduation event. Liz had overwhelmingly positive feedback from our guests; "Incredibly inspiring, a real treat to hear her story- what a lady."

Thank you Liz!

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 early twenties, she became a Yachtmaster Instructor before going on to row 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, Liz found another challenge in endurance sport, eventually representing Great Britain in Age Group triathlon, while still battling the familiar voice of self-doubt telling her she probably didn't belong there.


Alongside her adventures, Liz built a successful corporate career spanning more than 25 years, including leadership roles within the NHS and helping lead a large GP-led Covid vaccination centre through a period of extraordinary change and uncertainty.


Then, at the 2022 World Triathlon Championships in Abu Dhabi, Liz discovered a lump in her neck. It was eventually diagnosed as an aggressive throat cancer.


Treatment and recovery forced her to draw on many of the lessons life had already taught her; control what you can, adapt when the plan changes and keep moving forward.


Liz returned to endurance sport, began running ultramarathons, wrote her book "One Life. Chase Yours", and started sharing her story from the stage.


Those experiences became the foundation of ONE LIFE. CHASE YOURS, helping people navigate uncertainty, build resilience, challenge what they believe is possible and take greater ownership of what happens next.


Because ONE LIFE isn't really about rowing oceans, surviving cancer or crossing finish lines.


It's about what we do when life doesn't go to plan — and what might still be possible next.
