Keynotes:
Altitude & Attitude – Why Mindset Matters
Survival in extreme environments requires much more than speed, strength, and stamina. A growth mindset counts, both in the wild and in work – our ability to reframe challenging situations, redefine failure, and embrace uncertainty to achieve our goals.
With insights and lessons from Mount Everest and high-altitude mountaineering, you and your team will understand the importance of mindset and what it takes to embrace the biggest challenges.
Teams in the Extremes – Building High Performance
Building high-performing teams in a hyper-connected yet often remote-working world is hard. It requires us to prioritise human connection more than ever before. Team development is about building relationships, developing trust, and propelling others to success.
In this keynote, you’ll discover what it takes to be a high-performing team, the leadership qualities that drive performance under pressure, and the strategies, mindsets, and beliefs that contribute to long-term success.
Risk, Resilience & Realising Your Potential
Fear of failure often prevents us from taking on ambitious goals and ideas. Explore how we can embrace the things that scare us, drive sustained individual and collective performance, and go beyond what we thought was possible.
Tori defies the stereotype of an adventurer and flips the script on what and who has conventionally been seen as brave and strong. She explores the misconceptions of resilience and our risk appetite, enabling you and your team to go further.
“Very authentic, humble, positive and engaging. There are so many great analogies between explorations Tori talks about and endeavours we all face in business. This made her talk so relevant for our work”
