People are inspired by great adventure. And the name Hillary is synonymous with adventure. Peter Hillary is a powerful and dynamic speaker who takes his audience “with him” on one of his many extraordinary experiences: to the summit of Mt Everest; traversing Antarctica to the South Pole; feeding a pod of sharks; or making a terrifying descent of K2 down a vast vertical rock face in a vicious storm. He connects such dramatic achievements to the challenges faced by individuals and teams who are striving for excellence, coping with change, or overcoming obstacles in their own fields.
His considerable achievements, and his natural speaking style, have led to a recent appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, and an interview with Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America via satellite live from Antarctica. His articles have been published in The New York Times, The Sydney Morning Herald Melbourne’s The Age, and other high profile dailies. He is the author of five books.
Despite the high-risk nature of his expeditions, Peter’s survival is testament to one of his greatest strengths: his sound judgement. In his presentations he talks about developing this and other skills: of seeing excitement in uncertainty; of balancing risk with caution; and of achieving extraordinary goals through preparation, perseverance and passion.
Peter Hillary’s presentations combine heart-stopping excitement and humour with practical applications, relevant to the client’s requirements. They are supported by superb video and / or slide footage.
