Phoenix, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/16/2015 -- Justin Packshaw is one of Britain's great modern day explorers, having summited Everest, been to the North and South Pole several times and sailed around the world, to name but a few of his adventures. "In my life I have been lucky enough to go to the North and South Poles; stand on the top of Everest, sail for my country, cross East Africa on a motorbike and ride horses across Mongolia."

An officer in the British Army and former equerry to HRH The Duchess of Kent, Justin has represented Britain in the Whitbread Round-the-World Yacht race, won a 450 mile unsupported man-hauling race to the Magnetic North Pole, and summited Mount Everest.

He is co-founder of the luxury fashion label, De Roemer.

Justin's message focuses on the ability to find that something special deep inside when it matters most. It is not a transient, chest-beating form of motivation that fades when the going gets tough, but the discovery of that core drive, which sustains you through the darkest times; an instinct to achieve; a quiet strength.

The realization that no-one is super-human, that we are all fragile but understand that as humans we are built to excel. It is about finding that little bit 'extra'; that vital word that makes the difference between the ordinary and the 'extra'ordinary.

That we all have our own ultimate challenge in our lives. Justin's story is really about applying simple qualities that kept him alive in extreme situations. It's a story about knowing that the harder we try and the more of our heart we put into things that matter to us, the luckier we all become. It is about not being afraid to be close to those around you, and about each of our ability to make a positive difference.
