Natalia Cohen

Natalia Cohen was part of the first all-female team to row unsupported across the Pacific Ocean. With no rowing experience prior to applying, Natalia shows how, with a positive mindset, a determined and aligned team, and a sense of humour, you can cross your own personal Pacific.

Natalia Cohen knows first-hand what it takes to chart a course and execute a plan in a high performing team. In January 2016, she took the plunge and became part of the first all-female team to row unsupported across the Pacific Ocean.

Natalia and the crew completed the extraordinary challenge setting two world records and gaining an international following. This was a journey of just under 9,000 miles from San Francisco, USA to Cairns, Australia in a 29ft ocean rowing boat. The expedition was not only a challenge of extreme conditions and perseverance but also a journey within to better understand the strength of human spirit, the importance of being aligned with your values, developing mental resilience, the diversity within a team and enjoying the journey.

Familiar with being outside of her comfort zone, Natalia has made an art of embracing and adapting to change. Her understanding of team dynamics, the importance of a positive mindset and the ability to live in the moment spurred her and her team to success.

Natalia, a transformational travel advocate with two decades of unparalleled experience spanning over 70 countries, is a testament to embracing the unknown and thriving amidst uncertainty. With experiences in the travel industry, including Adventure Tour Leading, Super Yacht operations, Safari Eco-Lodge and Destination management, teaching and project coordination, Natalia's career is as diverse as the landscapes she's traversed.

Natalia's intimate storytelling and authentic wisdom resonate with audiences worldwide. She'll take you and your team on an adventure, share actionable insights and ignite a spark of motivation for everyone to conquer their own Pacific.
