The appeal of Sele as a speaker is that he brings timely insight of functioning in a diverse team. He was part of the Everest Peace Project which was made up of people from different cultures, races, religions and countries. His story powerfully demonstrates how any team can work together to achieve any goal by building supreme trust in each other.

Sele is an ordinary man who has achieved the extraordinary. He inspires with his personal story about reaching the top of Mount Everest.

His style is warm, authentic and personal. This makes his presentations compelling and demonstrates what can be achieved by the many and not the few.

He shares his experiences and insights into human potential in speeches that are moving, humorous and inspirational. He uses spectacular images, video footage and stories to describe the harshest environment on earth and tells what it is like to be pushed to your limits. Sele's story is one of courage, tenacity, triumph of the human spirit and the immense human instinct to survive. It is a story of dealing with rapidly changing circumstances, focusing on your goals and the innate strength we all have within us to succeed.

Mount Everest has been seen as an icon of tacking a big challenge. He uses powerful anecdotes and vivid analogies to convey the elements that parallel the challenges of striving individuals and organizations. Sele's presentation touches on many themes, namely :

• Speaker Lighting : During the presentation, the house lights must be dimmed to provide the maximum quality of the slides on the screen. However, a separate light should (optimally) be focused on the speaker so that she is visible throughout the presentation.
