Rex Pemberton's Speech Descriptions

    Evolve Keynote
    The Evolve keynote focuses on 6 key messages that can apply to any business, team or individual.

    • The importance of a clear and compelling vision
    • How to build trust quickly
    • Creating and maintaining a powerful culture
    • Identify complex layers of risk & re-defining it
    • Transformation in competitive environments
    • Innovation to stay ahead of the competition

    Evolve Part 1 – Mt Everest At the age of 21, Rex made history by becoming the youngest Australian to climb Mt Everest. He then went on to climb the highest mountain on each of the seven continents, the famous 7 summits.

    Evolve Part 2 – From the Mountains to the Sky The next chapter of Rex’s evolution occurred high above the clouds, as he took up skydiving, and then transitioned to wingsuit flying. Transforming from being an expert in one sport to a beginner in another is a significant challenge. Despite the odds, Rex rose to the top of the wingsuit world and now competes at the world championships. Keys to Rex’s success were his passion, his intense focus and being very particular about managing risk.

    Evolve Part 3 – From parachutes to jet wing flying In such a competitive landscape it’s hard to differentiate, so Rex knew he had to evolve and think outside of the box. As a result, Rex put together a team to create something completely unique. Alongside a dedicated team of innovators Rex designed, built and tested a jet powered wingsuit. The X-wing is a one of a kind carbon fiber wingsuit powered by four turbine jet engines. The wing allows Rex to sustain flight just like an aircraft. Rex and his team are now at the cutting edge of human flight technology and continually evolving into the future.

    Rising to the Challenge - 60 minute Mt Everest keynote
    Rising to the Challenge is the inspiring story of Rex Pemberton’s climb of Mt Everest at the age of 21. Mixing storytelling with dramatic video, Rex takes the audience on a captivating journey that demonstrates the power of:

    • Self leadership
    • Creating powerful support teams
    • Achieving large and compelling goals
    • Dealing with change

    Before he could even step foot on Everest, Rex had to overcome the financial challenge of raising in excess of $200,000 from cynical sponsors. He faced numerous relationship challenges as he sought to find a team he could trust in such a demanding environment. And then he faced the mental and physical challenges of training and preparing for something bigger than anything he had attempted before. Not only did Rex overcome these challenges, he leveraged his success on Everest to become the third youngest person in the world to climb the Seven Summits – the highest summit on each continent.

    Post Keynote Workshop:
    To further engage the audience and enrich the learning experience, Rex has designed a diagnostic questionnaire that forms part of an interactive workshop on strengthening Self Leadership and Support Teams.

    Risk Management B.A.S.E Keynote
    Base jumping and mountain climbing have been described as the most dangerous sports you can undertake. For Rex it is different, it is a personal journey about being courageous, learning how to control, face and deal with fear and most importantly believing in himself.

    Every single time Rex goes BASE jumping he is afraid. At these times he uses role courage to overcome the fear and perform in a risky and changing environment. Rex shares his dramatic base jumping and mountaineering stories with organisations all over the globe. The unique keynote delivers the secrets to:

    • Risk management
    • Overcome fears
    • Developing courage
    • Maintaining a positive attitude

    Rex’s risk keynote is dynamic, hair-raising, interactive and fun.
