Adventurer, author & acclaimed motivational speaker

Cathy O'Dowd's presentations combine adventure, drama, failure and success, sharing with you lessons learnt from one of the world’s most spectacular challenges: Everest.

Cathy weaves together the literal adventure of the climb and the metaphorical challenge of reaching for the peak of achievement, sharing her stories of challenge, adventure, passion for life and the reality of death.

Her inspirational keynotes focus on self-motivation, team dynamics, leadership, risk-assessment and tackling seemingly overwhelming challenges.

Cathy O'Dowd's great strength lies in combining her exciting adventures with a coherent message to business.

This is the first time we had a speaker who is not a "traditional business" speaker and I am happy to say that it was one of our biggest successes. For the first time the comments from our audience... were unanimously positive. Excerpts of the feedback we received included:
                      - "Best Speaker ever - riveting, inspirational"
                      - "Hugely motivating"
                      - "Excellent way to approach leadership theme"
                      - "won't ever forget"

Nancy McKinstry, Chairman Executive Board, Wolters Kluwer, BARCELONA

All presentations are illustrated with spectacular images of the climbs.
