To be successful in the world of exploration and adventure requires enormous self-belief and the ability to stay motivated in the most extreme of situations. Embarking on an expedition where you will face 200 mile-an-hour winds, temperatures of minus 40 degrees and no chance of an immediate rescue requires tremendous emotional resilience.
We recognise that the huge demands and expectations placed on young people today can be overwhelming and undermine their self-esteem. Our speakers have a keen understanding of the importance of knowing and accepting who you are and believing in your abilities if you are to succeed. They are experienced in engaging even the most disaffected of young people, inspiring them to see their own potential and develop a positive outlook.
"Thank you so much for the positive impact you have had on these young people. I am certain your message has got through to them and will remain with them as they progress through life.”

Today he is an internationally acclaimed mountaineer, leading climbing-gear expert, and perhaps most impressively, published author, having recently published his first book, Psychovertical.
