“An inspirational and fascinating talk: it’s not only about reaching the summit of Everest but about how a small group of people overcame the odds and, as a high performing team, managed the mountain so that a successful ascent could be made. To top it off they then carried out the highest ever rescue”.
Johnny Walker Whiskies and Diagio.
“Dave comes across as a regular guy who achieved an amazing feat in seriously bad conditions. The link with life’s aspirations, business and high performing teams made us believe anything was possible”.
Norman Holmes, HR Director, Communisis.
A small high performing team, energized by a goal, battled against probability, in the most extreme environment, to give someone a chance to summit Everest. Dave reached the summit of Everest with a sherpa via the challenging and difficult North Face on 22 May 2003. The summit ‘push’ almost failed due to desperate conditions and Dave thought he would not survive the descent. During this period not only did the team support, it also performed what is thought to be the highest ever rescue in a selfless act of bravery, skill and determination. Dave received a military commendation and the BBC’s Outstanding Overseas Achievement Award.
