Natalia Cohen
How many people do you know who have rowed 9000 miles across the Pacific?
With 15+ years’ experience of living and working in over 70 countries, Natalia Cohen has a broad range of professional experience within the travel industry and has made an art of embracing and adapting to change. Her understanding of team dynamics, the importance of connection, effective communication and a positive mindset led her to become part of the first all-female team to row unsupported across the Pacific Ocean.
Natalia and the crew completed this 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 the human spirit, the importance of being aligned with your values, developing mental resilience, the diversity within a team and enjoying the journey.
Natalia’s vision is to empower others to reach their potential, push through their self-limiting mental boundaries and meet and overcome the challenges that life throws at them.
While she may have crossed her literal Pacific, she teaches us that we all have our own Pacific to cross.
