LAYNE BEACHLEY

Layne is regarded as the most successful female surfer in history. Her dedication to success saw her as the only surfer, male or female, to claim six consecutive world titles between 1998 and 2003. Layne went on to win a 7th world title in 2006 before retiring from the World Tour in 2008. Her no BS leadership style blazed a trail for equality at the beach, on the waves and in the boardroom. Layne now spends her time as a motivational keynote speaker, mentor and facilitator and most recently launched her Awake Academy; an online self-empowerment platform with the desire to awaken people to detach from fear, take control and design a life they love. Layne is an ambassador for various charities, a passionate environmental campaigner, Chairperson of Surfing Australia and an Officer of the Order of Australia.
