Squash Falconer is an accomplished mountaineer and not only has she summited Mount Everest, but she holds the record as the world’s highest ever bum boarder – a title she gained on Cho Oyu (8188m), the 6th highest mountain in the world!
Squash Falconer was the first British woman to climb and paraglide from the summit of Mont Blanc, having ridden there from the UK on my motorbike (she couldn’t get an Uber).
In 2013, Squash Falconer wanted a different type of adventure and ended up setting another record when she completed a 3000mile journey on an ElliptiGO (elliptical bicycle).
She has produced many short films about her adventures (and often incorporate those clips into herspeeches). In 2014 Squash Falconer presented an adventure travel documentary in the US where Squash rode thousands of miles through South America on my BMW GS 800, along the way she teamed up with Red Bull athlete’s and together we explored extreme sports and the location they were in.
She is passionate about sharing her adventures, and unique (some would call it quirky) outlook on life convinces audiences that with the right attitude – and an unrelenting belief in ourselves – every one of us can achieve our goals and dreams, or at least, something extraordinary.
Drawing parallels between the world of business and the worlds of mountain climbing and sport Squash, demonstrates the importance of goal setting, decision making, leadership and team work. The right team and decisions on a mountain will save your life; the right team and decision-making made on a project can prove the difference between success and failure. What defines success anyway, getting to the summit or getting back down alive? In business, often tough decisions pay off.
Through her presentation and talk, Squash will draw parallels between achieving her goals through meticulous preparation, planning, teamwork and execution in some of the most inhospitable and challenging environments in the world and how business objectives can be achieved and surpassed in the same way.
Imagine if, when you were younger, someone told you anything was possible and then actually demonstrated to you that anything WAS possible. For young people, this kind of example and positivity can have a huge impact. Squash’s talk begins when she was little, when she was at school. By beginning from the same starting point as those listening, Squash is instantly on the same wavelength as her audience and then goes onto show them an exciting world of opportunity that isn’t exactly ‘text book’, proving that anything is possible and inspiring each individual to follow their dreams.
Paragliding, mountaineering , cycling, skiing – whatever your sport is – exactly how do you get to the top of your game? Do you even want to? Maybe you just want to try something new or hear about other sporting adventures. You might not be the strongest or the fittest but that isn’t always the most important element. Demonstrating that mental strength plays just as big a part as physical strength. Your own experiences may resonate with Squash’s and if you find yourself wanting to go further, you’ll realise you can.
Squash is a natural storyteller, using gripping real-life stories, anecdotes and humour to engage her audience. Squash will provide an insight to a world that will inspire the audience – challenging them to consider living their dreams and to seize opportunities they may otherwise not take. Happy to answer questions and provide further detail on content. She will also tailor her speech to make it more specific to each audience.
