“Great to have a female first in a room of high achievers, who can share the mind set of what it takes to obtain goals that might seem out of reach, while also looking at it from a different perspective rather than someone in the same industry / corporate point of view.  Because you’re from a different industry entirely, the reach was not just for the attendees to think about how they could build on what you talked about in their work life but also in personal life / goals too.”

Corporate and Business Presentations

Drawing parallels between the world of business and the worlds of mountain climbing and extreme sports Squash demonstrates the importance of goal setting, decision making, leadership and team work. In business, often tough decisions pay off.  The right team and decisions on a mountain will save your life; the right team and decision-making made on a project can prove the difference between success and failure. What defines success anyway, getting to the summit or getting back down alive?

Throughout her keynote, Squash demonstrates exactly how she achieved her goals through meticulous preparation, planning, teamwork and execution in some of the most inhospitable and challenging environments in the world, resonating that business objectives can be achieved and surpassed in the same way.

Energetic, engaging presentations

Squash’s bespoke presentations will ignite an energy inside her audiences that perhaps they didn’t realise was bursting to get out and get used. We all have our own personal goals and challenges; physical, mental, emotional or a combination of all three and the way we tackle them can determine their success or failure. Illustrating her own personal journeys through her adventures, the audience begins to realise failure might not be a bad thing after all and that the path to success isn’t as obvious or as impossible as they thought.

A renowned, well-respected and entertaining speaker, Squash is happy to present to audiences of any size, age, demographic and background.

“Squash Falconer you were bloody brilliant, thank you!”

Squash spoke eloquently about her journey that led from growing up on a farm to summiting Mount Everest. I can honestly say that we were all spellbound. Interspersed was footage and photos of Squash’s expeditions – we enjoyed every minute and left motivated and inspired!

Irena Davies, Oil Trader, London

Squash is known for being an inspirational speaker to all ages and for her achievements as an adventurer. It was an easy decision to book her to deliver a speech to our young athletes who could relate to her challenges and love for the mountains.

Squash delivered an inspiring and insightful talk. The audience was captivated by the stories of her adventures. She incorporated our values and threaded our messages into the talk which had a powerful impact on our community.

The message was clear: you can achieve anything if you want it enough and work hard enough.

Alexander Whitaker – Financial Times

Squash grips the attention of the audience with her fearless and bold vision. This is that we are all far more capable of achieving great things than most of us ever dare to imagine. Her inspiring and incredibly energetic talk lifts the spirit, challenging us to defeat pessimism and low aim. The sight of her paragliding off Mount Blanc after a gruelling climb leaves us wowed. This is a great lecture indeed.

Stephen Rathbone, Academic Director, Radley College

The talk was amazing, very emotional and inspiring. Squash really does prove that you can do anything you put your mind too. Definitely a highlight of our day.

Squash’s presentations held everyone enthralled from beginning to end. The impact of her speech has been amazing. It has really inspired our team and has been talked about all week. The feedback has all been amazingly and unanimously positive.

George Kalorkoti, Liveryman, Worshipful Company of Information Technologists

Squash’s talk is great fun – but with an edge of danger that keeps you enraptured throughout.

Simon, Jagged Globe

Professional, confident and engaging throughout the process, from our initial exploratory meeting through to the final speech itself, Squash fitted the bill perfectly. Most importantly, she related extremely well, regaling exciting tales of derring-do and giving the simple but very effective message that if you believe in yourself, give of your very best, you’ll come out on top, achieving your dreams.

Bill Penty, Head, Trent College Nottingham

Warner’s Distillery

It was truly an amazing start to 2024, with so much learning to take forward as a team.  Thank you Squash, you are truly inspirational, driven, and full of life, which as Tina has shared, is really infectious.
Not sure I’m cut out for climbing any physical mountain, but I sure do feel inspired to tackle any ‘mountain’ that heads my way – thank you!

Joanne Tildesley

Loads of people talking about how good your talk was.  Such a cool night and was great to hear your story.  Definitely inspired me!

Billski Billy

We wanted a speaker that could inspire our Early Careers’ members, and who could share their experiences and lessons which the graduates could then apply to their personal and professional life. We also wanted a speaker that could engage the group on the last day, and who was speaking about a topic which was slightly different to the rest of the conference theme.
Squash did a really good job! We asked for a 30-minute speech plus some time for a Q&A with the delegates which was all delivered, we were also grateful she was willing to stay around at the end in case people wanted to come up and chat. Squash was engaging, motivational and someone who held the room.
Squash went down well with the rest of delegates. She showed that with the right mind-set you can achieve great things which is what we wanted our delegates to take away from the event.  I spoke to some people over the weekend who said they spent some more time being active or outdoors as a result of the speech!

Samuel Hemsley, BAE Systems

Had the honour of listening to Squash Falconer at a Finance conference today, a mesmerising speaker and a true inspiration.

Zara Dobson, BAE Systems

Your story was so impressive; your journey mirrored a lot of the challenges we have in our corporate lives.

Booking.com

You were amazing, I cried!  So, so good to see you.

Louise Bonham

You have inspired the whole team, made us all think differently about the future and how we are going to get the best out of the year as a team in continued challenging circumstances.  The biggest impact you have had is that you made the team understand that constant change and challenging circumstances is ‘okay & normal’, it is part of everyday life and the only way to get through it is to turn up whole heartedly and work as a team.

It was an amazing start to the year, with so much learning to take forward as a team.  Thank you Squash, you are truly inspirational, driven, and full of life which is really infectious.
Not sure I’m cut out for climbing any physical mountain, but I sure do feel inspired to tackle any ‘mountain’ that heads my way – thank you!
