Agnes

Agnes Marlow is the author of "Whimsical Wander: An Entertaining Leap from a Predictable Life to Boundless Adventures" and "Embrace Each Day: Simple Steps to Genuine Intimacy for Every Couple."

Agnes has been featured on BBC World News, The Ellen DeGeneres Show with Oprah Winfrey, Bloomberg TV, Vogue, Women's Health magazine, The London Times, and numerous radio stations across the globe. She traded her demanding position in a bustling tech company in Silicon Valley for the serene landscapes of New Zealand's South Island to reignite her zest for life and personal growth. Surrounded by breathtaking panoramas, Agnes employed the communication strategies from Embrace Each Day to forge an unparalleled connection with herself amidst the awe-inspiring chaos and beauty of nature. Whimsical Wander tells the captivating, humorous, and unexpected story of Agnes—a thirty-something visionary, dreamer, and former office worker—undertaking a transformative journey into the wilderness. This experience profoundly reshaped her worldview. The book has earned praise from renowned humorist David Sedaris as "the most laugh-out-loud read I've come across in years," and from actress Octavia Spencer as "a solo traveler's Eat Pray Love meets The Grand Budapest Hotel."

Committed to crafting her own path, Agnes now leads Marlow Ventures, a consulting firm specializing in innovative leadership training and project management. She has successfully established an entrepreneurial venture that allows her to work comfortably from any corner of the globe.

Agnes has delivered keynotes to leaders at Google, Facebook, Apple, Adobe Systems, British Airways, L'Oréal, and Oxfam. As a sought-after speaker, her presentations on topics such as "Lessons from Nature on Life and Leadership," “Courageous Leadership,” “Scaling the Peaks of Your Professional Journey,” and more are always unforgettable experiences.

She resides in Queenstown, New Zealand, with her two rescue cats, Luna and Sol, and her pet parrot, Echo.
