Session Details

When people think about motivational speakers, we tend to imagine people who have accomplished things we could only dream of. Nick Hollis has not only climbed Mount Everest but is also what is known in the expedition world as a ‘Seven Summiteer’; he has climbed the highest mountain on each of the seven continents.

Not only this, but he has rowed the Atlantic Ocean solo, crossed 1,200km from the edge of Antarctica to the Geographic South Pole, and is about to embark on the final leg of his record-breaking challenge, where he plans to reach the North Pole. This will make him the first person in human history to achieve the 721 challenge – 7 Summits, 2 Poles, 1 Ocean.

Join Nick, a former HP manager-turned expedition leader, to hear more about his inspiring adventures…
