Why then did Paul decide to return to Everest eight years later? How did he overcome extreme self-doubt to make a final summit bid? And what lessons from Paul’s story can be applied by people striving to achieve their own ambitions?
During his presentation, Paul shares some of the techniques that helped him, including taking the rocking chair test to decide what to do next, and a trick of the mind to remove the fear of failure. Paul also explains why the best way to fulfill an ambition is to forget all about it.
10% of Paul's talks are delivered pro bono. He offsets carbon emissions from all his air flights, as well as car journeys to presentations.

"Paul spoke at three international conferences that I was involved with in 2008, two in London and one in Hong Kong. I had the pleasure of attending all three of his presentations, and I found each of them to be of a very high standard. Paul is an excellent speaker; he had the audience of senior-level business executives captivated as he shared his Everest experiences (and life lessons learned) with them. Paul's talks are inspirational, and he is extremely professional, polite, punctual and proactive." Jeffrey Ong, IIR
