Yvonne Camus

Yvonne Camus is an astoundingly assured speaker on grit, resilience, perseverance, and the character traits we need to achieve incredible success over the long haul. The hundreds of standing ovations she has collected testify to her enthusiasm for work, life, and connecting with audiences. Camus was a participant in the Eco-Challenge, the world championship of adventure racing conceived by Mark Burnett of Survivor fame. (Hers was the first rookie team to complete the grueling competition.) Punchy, deeply moving, and often humorous, Camus draws on her experiences to show you how to rise to the challenges of training, preparation, and execution. In the process, she helps you to see—and to realize—the potential for grit and greatness in yourself, in your co-workers, and in your entire organization. Camus serves as COO of the fitness club World Health, where she oversees more than 600 employees. She also works with World Health’s sister companies, Orange Theory Fitness (with over 400 franchised locations, globally) and Fresh Fit Foods (which offers fresh, healthy, pre-made meals to clients exercising at World Health and Orange Theory gyms).
