OUTLINE OF PRESENTATION

Much can be learnt by both individuals and teams from this adventure. Through rigorous preparation with the event organiser, Pauline ensures that the audience will benefit as much as possible from the story of her extraordinary journey.

The EVERESTMAX journey

‘lots and lots of laughter, positive attitude and belief in the goal’

— Pauline Sanderson

The EVERESTMAX journey had to deal with every team challenge you could throw at it. The teamwork was the reason it was a success. Pauline will draw on the many experiences to explain how and why their team managed an array of difficult situations such as people dynamics, constant change in logistics, adversity of weather, riots, bureaucratic obstacles, threats, personal and team esteem and of course physical endurance.

Her story will take you from the team’s starting point at the Dead Sea in Jordan, through Syria, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, Nepal and finally to Everest Base Camp in Tibet. There, they exchanged bikes for crampons and climbed the great mountain itself. Pauline puts the secret of their success down to ‘lots and lots of laughter, positive attitude and belief in the goal’.

As a speaker, Pauline takes you with her on this emotional and inspirational journey that started and finished with 7 people in perfect health and still talking…quite an achievement!

The presentations will be multi-media. Pauline will use both still images and sections from the movie that was filmed throughout the journey.

The time can be varied, but given the nature of this presentation, a minimum of 1 hour is needed. If time allows, two sessions of 40 minutes each would be appropriate. The first for the cycle journey, the second for the Everest climb.
