I’ve been a professional speaker since 1996. I use my Himalayan experiences as case studies to talk to corporations about team dynamics, motivation and leadership. I’ve presented my message to companies in 43 countries on six continents.
I’m involved with charities focused on female leadership, notably the Astraia Female Leadership Foundation in Germany and the Rwenzori Women for Health initiative in Uganda.
I’ve written a book about my Everest experiences, called Just For The Love Of It.
