Rebecca Stevens

Rebecca Steven is well known for being the first British woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Rebecca originally trained as a journalist and pursued that career for some ten years, becoming deputy editor of the Financial Times magazine Resident Abroad. In 1989, Rebecca accompanied an expedition attempting the Northeast Ridge of Mount Everest. Exploring the question "why do climbers climb?", she climbed to the first camp at 7,100m and made a decision she wanted to climb the mountain herself.

In 1993, almost exactly 40 years after the first ascent by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, Rebecca achieved that ambition, becoming the first British woman to stand on the summit in the process. In 1994, she became the third woman – and the first British woman – the climb the ‘Seven Summits’.

“Mount Everest is a huge part of my life - a vibrant chapter in my memory but also in the work that I do as leadership coach and lecturer. On Everest, I gained unexpected insights into the human condition that reach far beyond the mountains. Everest stripped away any superficialities, revealing only that which matters: head, heart, and values – and honestly I don’t think there is any greater teacher of leadership and of working together with other people.” said Rebecca .

Rebecca’s keynote is about setting sights, taking initiative, overcoming fears and sheer tenacity and grit. And it's about recognising one's limitations and working collectively with other people - about leadership and teamwork. Rebecca's story is a powerful metaphor for our lives and our careers.

He was born into a moderately prosperous family where his unmatched musical genius made itself known extremely early. Mozart began learning to play the harpsichord at three and his earliest known work was composed in 1761 when he was five, the age at which he also first appeared in p ublic. From the age of six, his father took him on the first foreign tour, Mozart toured the courts and musical centres of Austria, Germany, France, England, Holland, Switzerland and Italy. It has been calculated that Mozart spent almost a third of his short life ( he died at the age of 35) travelling. As Mozart matured, he continued to tour and give concerts.
