talks for schools

“ A child’s attention span is their age plus two, so when you're talking to a classroom full of five year olds you need every trick up your sleeve, and as a speaker there is no tougher audience than an assembly hall full of teenagers! Yet talks to schools and colleges are by far the most rewarding because young people’s minds are so open to new ways of thinking and seeing. I guarantee my talks will leave young minds and imaginations buzzing long after I’ve gone.”

Motivate

talks for business

“A climber should not be measured by their success, but by their ability to overcome a mountain of failures and self doubt in order to reach a single impossible summit. My climbs and adventures have always been about breaking through barriers in the mind, acting out the impossible, learning how to achieve success when the odds seem to be stacked against me, and bouncing back when I was utterly defeated. These are lessons learnt at the sharp end and have proved inspirational and rewarding to groups as diverse as oil rig workers, surgeons and fighter pilots.”

Entertain

One man show

My one man show continues to be a great success, and is touring most of the year in theatres and cinemas both in the UK and abroad. The show is an off the wall mix of scary stories from the cutting edge of climbing, the bizarre world of TV and film work, and my funny and sometimes moving observations of a life that often seems more fiction than fact.
