Why use Andrew Lock to inspire and motivate your team?

·          Andrew Lock is not just an Everest climber.  He is the most accomplished mountaineer in Australian history. He is the only Australian ever to accomplish the world’s toughest mountaineering challenge - to climb all of the world’s highest mountains.   

·          His presentations are based on ongoing experiences as leader and member of over 50 Himalayan, Antarctic and remote area expeditions, providing a range and depth of experience unparalleled by any other Australian adventurer.

·          80% of his speaking engagements are repeat business.   

·          90% of new business is from word of mouth recommendations.  

·          Andrew Lock is just like you.  He is an average member of the community; neither a supreme athlete, nor a celebrity or heavily sponsored.  Just a man with exceptional motivation to achieve an exceptional challenge.  

·          His presentations are tailored specifically to your conference or seminar; they are not off the shelf.

Andrew Lock has lived more adventure, hardship, near death and exhilarating life experiences, than most people ever imagine, let alone read about.  He is the ultimate example of long term commitment to personal goals, beliefs and passions.   Few sportspeople or adventurers can claim to have committed to a 16 year project, especially one that takes the lives of so many of their peers along the way.  
As a business owner, Andrew understands the issues that matter - personnel development and motivation, risk assessment, team work, realistic goal setting, communication, leadership, change management, dealing with conflict and more.

These experiences have empowered Andrew to enthuse others, both individually and in groups. A sought after Key Note Speaker, he imbues his accomplishments with a strong message of teamwork, motivation and achievement. He has thrilled audiences from 50 to 500 at public presentations, business seminars and international conferences.

Some comments from clients include;

“Most importantly thank you so much for your inspirational presentation on Monday.  When I looked around the room I could see people shaking their heads with disbelief as you spoke about your conquests. Not to mention on Tuesday morning as all of us here at the Sydney office discussed it all over again.

Thank you Andrew, I look forward to working with you in the future.”

Kara Turnbull, Raine & Horne

"Andrew presented a compelling and fascinating story, which kept people's interests and captivated their imaginations. The group extracted a lot of learning from the presentation and it set them up to have a very constructive conversation about our biggest issues. Andrew did a great presentation; his use of mixed media meant you got a real sense of the physical environment he was speaking about. We were delighted with his speech and would definitely recommend him to others"
