Beth Amber Keynote Speaker

Beth Murphy is a world record breaking ocean rower, motivational speaker and sustainability consultant. In early 2026, Beth competed as one half of Atlantic Highway, a team of two women rowing across the Atlantic Ocean in the Worlds Toughest Row race. They beat the world record for a female pair by almost a week, surpassing the 40 day holy grail for women in cross-Atlantic rowing. And they became the first ever pairs team to win the Worlds Toughest Row women’s category, beating teams of trios and fours. They also beat eight mixed and male pairs to finish third of all pairs.

With huge waves, rough water and little sleep, Beth battled exhaustion, seasickness and the inability to eat. Beth used her mental strength to drive success, focusing on consistency, positivity and drive to keep pushing forward.

Beth shows what is possible when a normal person with no prior experience of the ocean, puts their mind to a task, refuses to give up, and achieves what no one thinks is possible.

A trained management consultant, focusing in sustainability, circularity and doing good for people and planet, she talks about how pushing boundaries and how driving business and personal growth does not need to be to the detriment of people and planet.

Whether speaking on global stages, raising money for charity or trying to educate businesses and individuals to act more sustainably, Beth lives by the message – if you put your mind to something, act positively and consistently, you can achieve the most amazing things.
