“I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank-you. Thank-you for putting what was a successful event, over the top. There is always a bit of a risk when you bring in an external speaker. You never know how people will react to a speaker’s style, their content or delivery. I believe you can take the resounding standing ovation as an indication of just how the Shell team felt about how you delivered what was an amazing story told in such an authentic and modest manner. Your story resonated with several of the key messages we were trying to get across to the team which was the most we could have asked for.

I will and have already recommended you to several people who are looking to have a speaker talk to a personal story that is engaging, inspiring and memorable.

It was truly a pleasure to work with you and thanks again for helping this year’s organizing team earn "best ever event" accolades."

“Andrew did a magnificent job giving this year’s graduating residents lecture.

Many people complimented Andrew to me, congratulated me on finding him, and judged him to be the best of the seven speakers in the series.

Andrew struck the perfect balance of an adventurous tale, humour, and inspiring human drama.”

Dr. Bill Redwood

“I have twice had Andrew present to our top sales professionals and clients…

His story is one of perseverance, dedication, and achievement framed by “doing the right thing”.

I would highly recommend him as a speaker for those who want to set high standards and lead by example.”

“What does commitment, compassion and dedication look like? In Andrew Brash's case it's a compelling, captivating and even somewhat humbling story that kept us mesmerized throughout his presentation. It's a journey complete with stunning visuals and subtle connections between the extreme conditions he faced on Mount Everest and the not-so-extreme struggles that we face in our everyday lives, enabling us to reflect and ponder upon life and the choices we make along the way.

The delegates were still chatting about his presentation until the very end of the conference. “

Shea Ellingham

National Academic Advising Association Conference

“I have had the pleasure of hearing him present on a couple of occasions - once at an employee event as a motivational speaker and one at my own client appreciation night.

My clients loved Andrew with his very powerful message of discipline, motivation & focus.

His touching story of "choosing the right" in very difficult situations touched the hearts of all in the audience.”

“Andrew, I wanted to send a short note to again thank you for coming to speak with our group of new financial advisors. The feedback from the group on your presentation was excellent.

What you have accomplished in your climbing career and most recent experience in climbing Mount Everest is a truly inspiring message.

Your presentation really resonated with our group not only in reinforcing what it takes to succeed, but in the importance of remaining true to your principles to achieve the ultimate success.

While we can’t fully appreciate what you went through, your powerful story aided by the realism of your slides and video gave us some strong insights, which will have a lasting impact. It was a privilege to have met you.”
