Great news! We are delighted to announce the rescheduled event date for Conquer Your Own Mountain.

An afternoon for personal development and leadership enhancement, offering wisdom through the lens of Sir Edmund Hillary’s words: “It’s not the mountain we conquer but ourselves”.

Hosting three absolutely epic presenters, this event was created for people who are invested in pursuing their greatness, through striving, building resilience and developing their own personal and collective leadership skills. This is not simply a sit-back-and-listen seminar, attendees will get to actively engage, leaving better equipped to become the best version of themselves. Featuring:

Hillary Step Higher Award Alumni Panel During their time as Sir Edmund Hillary Scholars, Jeremy, Kelly, and Morgan each received the prestigious 'Step Higher' Award. This award gives recipients the unique opportunity to visit Nepal and see first-hand the difference Sir Edmund Hillary has made in the lives of the Himalayan people through the incredible work of the Himalayan Trust. These bright sparks share a conversation on how walking in the footsteps of Sir Ed has influenced and shaped their lives, leadership, and high performance.
