Bonita Norris Speaking Topics
To perform under pressure, we need to find daily resilience, motivation and confidence.
In Mountains of the Mind, Bonita Norris shares how we can achieve extraordinary feats when we take responsibility for our inner world and learn how not to let excuses, limiting beliefs and fears define how we show up for our goals, our teams and ourselves.
This immersive keynote is packed with actionable takeaways that audiences can implement immediately, leaving them motivated and inspired to conquer their own Everest.
Keynote Messages:
- Success by Smallness : If you want to solve big problems, focus on solving small ones
- Focus Not Fret: A formula for fearlessness that builds confidence and resilience
- Be Great, Make Others Great: Understanding what matters when building a great team culture
Audiences Will Learn:
- To be more fearless and tackle daily challenges with confidence
- How to become more connected as a team
- To fearlessly set big goals for themselves, and trust the process of incremental gains
We all hate making mistakes, and nobody wants to fail.
Yet, if we want to achieve extraordinary goals then both mistakes and failure are inevitable parts of the journey to success.
In this immersive keynote, Bonita Norris shares her own personal story of how a simple mistake in the mountains led to a failure that she initially struggled to mentally recover from, until she understood that failure could be, and then later became, the catalyst for even greater success.
Keynote messages:
- Growth Mindset
- Learning From Failure
Audiences will learn:
- That failure and success are often part of the same journey
- How to transform weaknesses into strengths and failure into success
- How to take a proactive and compassionate approach to learning from mistakes within a team
- How to have the courage to follow their own paths, even when competitors go in a different direction
Bonita Norris explores how the first ascent of Everest was made possible through data and scientific rigor after 30 years of failed attempts on the world's highest peak.
The story we all know and love about the first ascent of Everest in 1953 is that of man over mountain: Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay's superhuman effort to make it to the summit. But is that the whole story behind the first ascent?
This inspiring keynote tells of the unsung hero of Everest, Dr. Griffith Pugh, who unlocked the mystery of how to get the two climbers to the top and back down again - alive, using data.
Today, we are grasping to understand how the data and AI revolution will transform our lives. Within this uncertainty there is a reluctance to change, and a fear of leaving old ways behind. We wouldn't be alone in feeling this way: 70 years ago the pioneers of Everest were grappling with much the same- their belief system, so closely held onto, was actually holding them back from realizing their potential.
This keynote reframes the story of the first ascent of Everest as a triumph not of man over mountain but of data over dogmatic thinking.
