Hassan Esufally

Hello! 

By way of brief introduction, my name is Hassan Esufally and I am a Marketing Professional/ Adventure athlete who represents Sri Lanka in Marathons, Triathlons, and Mountaineering.  I have graduated from the University of Melbourne with a double major in management and marketing, where I attended Ormond College and my most recent role was the Head of Fitness for Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts in Colombo. My most recent success is to have become the first Sri Lankan in history to run a marathon on all of the seven continents and be inducted into the 7 Continents Marathon Club™. I am also an IRONMAN after having successfully accomplished the world's hardest sporting event - the full distance IRONMAN (consists of a grueling 3.86 km swim, 180 km bike, and a 42.2 km full marathon run) in Cairns, Australia. I have also been awarded the "Top 50 Most Inspirational and Influential People in Sri Lanka" 

I have completed marathons in:

1. Australia - Melbourne 2014 & 2016
2. Europe - Stockholm Marathon in 2017
3. Asia - Colombo Marathon in 2017
4. North America - Boston Marathon 2018
5. Africa - Big 5 Marathon in South Africa 2018 – Where one runs in the Entabeni National Park Savannah amongst the wild animals
6. South America - Inca Trail Marathon in 2018 – Officially the toughest marathon in the world which ends at Machu Picchu
7. Antarctica - Antarctic Ice Marathon in 2018 – The only marathon in mainland Antarctica (within the Antarctic Circle) with a rigorous application process that only accepts ~50 contestants every year. This race presents a truly formidable and genuine Antarctic challenge where one is essentially running on ice with an average wind-chill temperature of –20C, and strong Katabatic winds to contend with

I have done several speaking engagements with different well-renowned companies in the past.  I have a substantial amount of experience in this field, and I hope that you will find this proposal valuable to your end. The key areas that I would like to focus on in my talks are how to build the mindset of persistence, positive well-being, and cultivating intrinsic motivation to achieve their life goals.
