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.

You were the highlight of our conference... The most amazing thing you did in your presentation (apart from all the gripping facts and pictures of the mountain) was to make your experiences directly applicable to our daily teamwork in the business world. This made it so much more valuable.
Events Co-ordinator, Bombardier Transport, PARIS
