Background

Amy Beeton is one only of a handful of British women to have reached the summit of Mount Everest, an accomplishment made all the more impressive after she had to undergo unexpected, major surgery only weeks before.

Her audiences step with her into the raw reality of climbing in the dark at -45 C; battling 150 mph winds in the Death Zone; being trapped in a snow hole without food or fuel and staying awake for six days and nights through sheer determination to stay alive.

Drawing upon a decade of top-class mountaineering success, Amy’s experiences enthral everyone. A woman in the very male-dominated climbing world, for years Amy juggled her passion with a full-time corporate career. A warm and witty speaker, she is uniquely qualified to inspire both corporate and non corporate audiences.

Her compelling presentations and powerful motivational style have been enthusiastically received across all professions and social groups. From members of the S.A.S, Heads of Private Banking and Board Directors to victims of domestic violence, Amy can inspire Chairmen and call centre staff alike to clarify their goals, overcome their fears, make bold decisions and reach new heights.

Amy has a unique ability to lead her audiences into the world’s most hostile environments and back out again - refreshing their optimism, energy and determination on the way. Extremes of danger and the pressure to survive turn successful team work, attitude, strategy and motivation into matters of life and death. Yet Amy faces many of her biggest obstacles before she even reaches the climb. Meticulous planning, successful fundraising and ambitious goal-setting are all a crucial part of getting to the top. Her navigation of the enormous practical and financial challenges involved in transforming expedition dreams into reality is an inspiration. Amy has the passion, the will and an indomitable determination to succeed. That passion - and that resolve to win – are catching.
