"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover"

"Many people left the talk wanting to achieve more in their lives. Your story is an inspirational one and has many messages relating to taking risks, overcoming challenges, hurdling obstacles, decision making tactics and ultimately how to work as part of a team. We thoroughly enjoyed the talk and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in hearing a remarkable story of determination and success."

"A superb presentation well prepared, well delivered with an excellent storyline which interwove earlier experiences with a casual humour. The audience and I were particularly impressed by your very honest and forthright manner and were overawed and inspired by incredible photographs and video footage. An excellent presentation summarising an amazing achievement a highly self-motivated individual. Thank you."

HEWLETT PACKARD (UK) - Andrew Dodd - European Market Development Manager

"Having Tom Clowes describe his experience on Everest was the ideal way to round off our corporate event. The themes of the day were enhanced by his presentation, an enjoyable and well-paced blend of humour, drama and inspiration. Not everyone can aspire to climbing Everest, but hearing an enormously self-motivated person describe his approach to problem-solving puts fresh perspective on the issues that we all face in our professional and personal lives."

FOCUS Information Limited - Matthew Hopkinson - Director

"Tom Clowes gave a keynote presentation at our recent company day where the theme was team work. The knowledge of his subject and the theme of attempting Everest was very powerful. He gave an excellent insight into the difficulties encountered when climbing at altitude and the importance of teamwork to succeed. His slides and video gave us all a wonderful insight into his subject whilst at the same time he ensured that the relevance to us who work in an office was not lost. All of us found it fascinating and a very good 'off the wall' subject to focus on as part of our team building day. The interest and enthusiasm from every level of staff member was a reflection of how thought provoking and impressive the subject and speaker were. We all left the room with a will to succeed what ever the adversity but to also evaluate where you are on that path to success to maintain focus."
