Speaking

Andy Kirkpatrick’s talks are honest, gripping and deeply practical—drawn from a life spent making difficult decisions in high-pressure, unpredictable environments.

We brought Andy in to open our team day with a talk on stepping outside your comfort zone, and he set a bar the rest of us spent all day trying to reach. He's a phenomenal storyteller, properly laugh-out-loud funny, with the kind of self-deprecating honesty about near-disasters on real mountains that makes your own workplace disasters feel refreshingly low-stakes by comparison. What struck everyone was how well he read the room: this wasn't a generic "believe in yourself" talk, it was sharp, specific, and somehow directly relevant to a company full of people who mostly climb nothing higher than a standing desk. People are still quoting his lines back to each other weeks later. Book him if you get the chance! Andy is worth clearing the whole morning for, and you'll wish you'd given him the afternoon too.

At their heart is resilience: how to keep moving when conditions change, plans fail and the way ahead is unclear. Andy explores the fortitude required to face fear, manage setbacks and adapt with purpose rather than simply endure.

His stories from the world’s most demanding climbs offer memorable lessons for teams and leaders alike: clear communication, shared responsibility, trust under pressure and the value of every person knowing when to lead, support or speak up. Delivered with humour and candour, Andy’s talks leave audiences with a renewed perspective on challenge—and the confidence to meet it together.

"Thank you very much for your presentation yesterday – I had loads of good feedback and the Regiment seemed to really enjoy it. I think the soldiers appreciated a non-army person speaking about leadership and team dynamics in a different setting from the one they are used to and found your delivery style highly engaging."
