Mountains of the Mind

What does it take to go beyond your limits? To have an impossible dream and turn it into a reality? 

For beginner climber Bonita Norris it was to reach the summit of Everest but as she came to learn, the biggest challenge wasn’t Everest itself. Limiting beliefs, imposter syndrome and being a beginner climber with a seemingly impossible goal meant the biggest mountain was not the one “out there”, it was the one in Bonita’s mind.

This is the story of how with great support, a growth mindset and a clear vision, Bonita conquered the world’s highest peaks and the mountain of the mind.

Accompanied by stunning photographs from her expeditions to the Himalayas, Bonita’s talk is heart warming, humorous and inspiring. She tells of the lessons she learnt as an ordinary woman who took on an extraordinary challenge – and succeeded against the odds. Most importantly, Bonita speaks about how great support is fundamental to success. As Tenzing Norgay once said,“Be Great, Make Others Great.”

In the Death Zone

Are success and failure at odds with one another, or are they inextricably linked? Are excellent teams the ones that don’t make mistakes, or are they the ones that accept mistakes will and do happen? 

How can we ensure that workplace culture encourages not the making of mistakes but the effective techniques to learn quickly from them, so that they can be avoided in future?

How can we better harness the learnings within our failings in order to succeed better and connect better with our teams and clients?

These are the questions Bonita Norris explores in her keynote In the Death Zone. Bonita will share her story of going from the top of the world to rock bottom, and then back to the top again. Your team will learn how failure can inspire, educate and strengthen bonds in ways success cannot, Ultimately, being willing to succeed means being willing to fail. And if we’re humble enough to realise it: we often don’t end up succeeding OR failing, we often end up with a bit of both.

The partner who introduced Bonita said at the end as he was wrapping up that he had never seen such a great talk, and he’s about to retire so will have seen one or two talks in his time! I thought Bonita was going to be good, but she far exceeded my expectations.

Never have we had, nor have I seen a better speaker. I have seen almost every type of speaker at all functions….Bonita made people sit up and take notice. It was absolutely amazing.

Bonita was awesome! Such an inspiring storyteller – funny, passionate, and very polished. She took on our messages and wove them seamlessly into her own story. We’ve had so much positive feedback from the team – many calling her the best speaker they’ve seen and the session one of Oracle’s best.

Bonita gave an amazing talk and I think I speak for everyone when I say I’m feeling motivated! We especially had great feedback from the clients I spoke to following the event, so thank you.

Black Rock

I have heard many inspirational speakers but Bonita was by far the most interesting and certainly inspirational I have heard.

HMRC

Bonita was the best speaker yet! Her message was clear and motivational, with a lot of common ground between our personal and professional life. I found that her words about resilience against adversity and dealing with challenges were highly relevant for navigating through uncertain times.

Bonita is a rare combination of qualities – she is determined yet humble, really human yet clearly incredibly driven – she made our course delegates feel that if she could achieve what she had from such a standing start they could too. She particularly connected with the women in the audience; young, female and super-successful she was a genuine role model for our talented women.
