A Seven Summiteer

Only a handful of people in the UK have completed the mammoth Seven Summits challenge – to climb the highest mountain on every continent. Nick Hollis shares the lessons and techniques he’s picked up on his expeditions and from managing extreme survival situations, to inspire other people to push their limits and achieve their own goals. Witnessing success and failure in abundance on the mountainside, his experience working with teams of all different nationalities, skill sets and ambitions have enabled him to fulfill his ambition of completing The Seven Summits and running his own adventure company.

“Nick is proof that tenacity and positivity can break down all barriers, and one of the few people who can genuinely link the lessons and challenges of big expeditions with the drives of people in high-powered business environments.”

Lessons from the mountains

Stay alive, stay friends, summit – and do it in that order. In his seminars Nick explains how he has applied the mountain code of conduct to his life and business practice to become a successful entrepreneur. He shares unique tips and insights that will help you to come closer to your desired destination, and enjoy the journey along the way.

From Basecamp up to the summit of Everest, Nick tells the story of a 36 hour ascent with snow blindness and failing oxygen systems in the death-zone, that he is happy to be able to share with people as a lesson and an inspiration.

"A set of extreme and diverse scenarios make mountaineering an incredible learning ground for team dynamics and leadership. The lessons I’ve picked up climbing mountains like Everest are invaluable."
