AUTHENTIC AND ENTHUSIASTIC STORY THAT INSPIRES

Expedition climber Katja Staartjes: “Are you looking for an inspirational speaker for your organisation? My aim is to capture your hearts by my images and story. Based on my experience as mountaineer, expedition leader and manager I motivate your company to achieve top performance.

Powerfull metaphor

Achieving peak performance requires focus and perseverance as well as the capacity to let go. And of course, whether it’s about climbing mountains, the business world or public sector, it’s all about team spirit & cooperation; you can not succeed as an individual. The lessons I learned in my Himalayan expeditions are powerful metaphors to the challenges at work & home.

Customised presentation

The speech I give is customised. We can discuss how long the story should be, whether a focus on any themes is required and what is the desired level of interaction. Themes that could be addressed include:
• joint goal
• teamwork and trust
• dealing with setbacks
• change

Images with impact

I use breath taking images from my expeditions to mountain peaks such as Mount Everest, and other 8000+ metres giants, to strengthen my story. This visual support ensures that the message makes a stronger and lasting impression. This gives your team the chance to really apply my story in practice.

Motivating books

I am an author as well as inspirational speaker. My books include Top-inspiratie (available in English as Peak Performance), Hoog spel (High stakes) and Lopen over de grens – Great Himalaya Trail door Nepal (Hiking along the border – Great Himalaya Trail through Nepal).”
