Off the hill

Public speaking

Di has never had any difficulty speaking and easily takes her passion and enthusiasm for the mountains into the auditorium and its audience.

With nearly 2 decades of adventures under her belt and more than a lifetimes experience, she talks from the heart.

Di not only relates about being a climber and mountaineer, but also her associated responsibilities as Guide and Expedition Leader in some of the world's harshest environments.

Di provides an insight into this extreme work place where parameters are constantly changing and are often non negotiable.  Situations where team dynamics, communication, planning and dipolomacy play a crucial role to success.  An environment where emotions are put to the test, and physical and mental strengths tested to new levels.

To inspire and motivate your audience contact Di to discuss your specific needs.
