Caroline Clark: Leadership and Performance Speaker

Lessons from space brought to Earth

Let's talk!

Speaker bio

I speak about how human performance can be engineered — not left to chance. Drawing on psychology, systems thinking, and lessons from space, I explore what it takes for leaders and teams to perform at their peak when the stakes are high.

What I talk about:

  • Surviving in isolated, confined, extreme (ICE) environments

  • Why women should be the first humans on Mars

  • Creating high trust teamwork and followership

  • Overcoming imposter phenomenon

  • Humour in the workplace

  • Leading under pressure
