Is your team stuck at base camp?
Challenges in life are inevitable: being defeated is optional. At just 26, Alex Staniforth is already an expert in overcoming challenges and forging a path through adversity, having survived the two biggest disasters in Mount Everest history as a teenager.
However, his biggest challenges have been much closer to home, suffering with epilepsy, stammering, bullying and mental ill health since childhood. Alex is a now a record-breaking adventurer, published author, charity founder and motivational keynote speaker on resilience and mental well-being, across the UK and internationally.
Alex offers a unique vulnerability to the typically invulnerable world of extreme adventure and high performance, sharing a human side and mental health journey which others can connect and relate to their own challenges; whatever the context.
