Explorer and Author
People are inspired by great adventure. And the name Hillary is synonymous with adventure. Peter Hillary is a powerful and dynamic speaker who takes his audience "with him" on one of his many extraordinary experiences: to the summit of Mt Everest; traversing Antarctica to the South Pole; feeding a pod of sharks; or making a terrifying descent of a vast vertical rock face in a vicious storm on K2. Peter Hillary ably connects such dramatic achievements to the challenges faced by individuals and teams striving for excellence, coping with change, and overcoming obstacles in their own fields.
Like his father, Sir Edmund Hillary, Peter Hillary has climbed Mt. Everest and has reached the South Pole overland, widely recognized as two of the most significant accomplishments in the world of adventuring and exploration. Peter Hillary also assists with raising funds for the Himalayan Trust, established by his father, which runs 42 schools and hospitals for the villages at the foot of Mt Everest.
Peter Hillary's considerable achievements and his eloquent, natural speaking style have led to a recent appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, and an interview with Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America via satellite live from Antarctica. Peter Hillary's articles have been published in the New York Times, The Sydney Morning Herald, Melbourne's The Age, and other high-profile dailies.
Despite the high-risk nature of his expeditions, Peter Hillary's survival is testament to one of his greatest strengths - his sound judgement. In his presentations Peter Hillary talks about developing skills of use in any field; of seeing excitement in uncertainty; of balancing risk with caution; and of achieving extraordinary goals through preparation and perseverance. His presentations are supported by superb video and/or slide footage.
