Biography
The youngest person to reach both the summit of Everest and the North Pole, Bonita Norris is one of the UK's leading adventurers. She went from novice climber to the world’s highest peak in just two years, and has since taken on some of the toughest expeditions possible.
As well as Everest, Bonita has conquered Lhotse, part of the Everest massif and the fourth highest peak in the world. In doing so she became the first British woman to reach the summit. Her book, The Girl Who Climbed Everest looks at the lessons in harnessing self-belief that she learned facing up to the world’s toughest and most dangerous expeditions.
Bonita recounts taking on the apparently impossible, never giving up, and always looking to the next challenge. She explains the lessons she’s learned as an ordinary person doing extraordinary things, from personal leadership to endurance, moving outside your comfort zone to achieving goals through marginal gains.
In inspirational and though-provoking presentations, and accompanied by stunning images from her expeditions, Bonita asks audiences to consider their aims and challenges and shares how she overcame the seemingly insurmountable.
“Great speaker with a real passion.”
Fabulous! She had attendees with their mouths literally agape. She was professional from start to finish, engaging with guests before and after the event. We would highly recommend her!
Everyone loved her and was so positive after hearing her speak – she really is an inspirational young lady. She spoke beautifully, engaged the audience immediately and did exactly what we hoped she would do for our staff team.
Bonita's presentation was exceptional. I have had some really good feedback, one person even quoting "i got goosebumps"
she delivered the story really well, and was also told this was the highlight of the day.
i would also like to thank Rory who has been brilliant with arranging calls and responding back to emails in a matter of minutes with any questions i may of had.
brilliant service all the way

Exactly what we were looking for to push our audience to keep on fighting to achieve their goals however impossible the challenge might seem. Moving out of one’s comfort zone to seek new challenges was perfectly voiced.
We were thrilled with Bonita. She did a fantastic speech with no script and it was exactly what we wanted. Bonita had a lovely personality and spoke from the heart. Our only disappointment was that we could only give her 10/15 minutes. We would have loved to had heard more!
