Presentations

Geoff has spoken to hundreds of audiences around the world – sharing expert knowledge and experience about his life passions: polar adventure, environmentalism, youth education, leadership and teamwork.

Geoff’s audiences represent a cross-section of leading corporations, associations, public and private educational institutions, government, and nonprofit organizations from throughout North America and around the world.

Geoff Green inspires action. He is most often asked to share his experience on the subjects of leadership, inspiring youth, environmental issues, including climate change, world adventure and managing risk.

"Inspiring Generation G"

In 1994 Geoff made his first expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic. He was profoundly inspired by these cornerstones of our global ecosystem, and has since led more than 100 expeditions to both the Polar Regions, taking with him thousands of students, scientists, educators and leaders from around the world.

Geoff’s presentation will take the audience on an amazing journey from Pole to Pole, sharing stories, insights and observations of what he likes to call the greatest classrooms on Earth. Together with his student alumni from over 40 countries, he has developed the concept of a 21st century "Generation G" embracing values that are Global, Generous, Grateful and Green to help guide the way we interact with Nature and each other.

"Have we found it all?"

What’s left in the world to discover? Geoff Green explores the concept of "discovery and exploration in the 21st century." Tomorrow’s "explorers" are those who help us better understand the Planet and find the ways that will allow us to live sustainably for generations to come.

An unprecedented opportunity exists to engage the minds and imaginations of the next generation of young scientists and leaders, and to help people understand that we must find alternatives to our addiction to fossil fuels. Geoff addresses this risk our unbridled thirst for oil poses to our economy, climate and quality of life – and how to motivate and inspire people to action.

“Endowed with unique and newly endangered life forms and subject to exceptionally rapid climate change, the Antarctic and Arctic regions have a great importance for the generations immediately ahead. I’m glad that Students on Ice is leading the kind of environmental education most needed.”

Dr. Edward O. Wilson,
Professor Emeritus, Harvard University

 

“Students on Ice is an outstanding educational program. Just one of their shipboard expeditions to the polar regions equals two or three academic courses in a traditional university setting. I am proud and honoured to participate in this unique shipboard program.”

Captain Don Walsh,
Honorary Life Member of the Explorers Club; Former Environmental Advisor to the President of the United States of America.

 

“Geoff’s presentation was nothing short of an inspirational tonic for the whole group. He took us far from the everyday grind of our demanding jobs.  It was motivational and refreshing without being contrived or forced.  Almost every team member wrote, called or stopped me later to express their appreciation for and enjoyment of Geoff’s speech.”

Rick Seifeddine, Vice President,

“On behalf of our members, I would like to thank you for being our guest of honour at the 56th Annual Dinner of The Arctic Circle Club!  We were fully absorbed by your talk, “Exploring Minds at Both Poles”, as you took us to both ends of the Earth.”

Tom Lukowski,
President of The Arctic Circle Club
