Sean Wisedale, the first South African to climb the Seven Summits, the highest point on each continent delivers a 40-minute multi-media presentation on reaching the summit of Mount Everest and the Seven Summits. Sean presents an 'after-dinner' or 'corporate-messaging' version. A questions and answers session follows if required. His
style is humorous. But it counterbalances the seriousness of climbing
the highest
mountain
on
Earth.
His take-home messages are preparation, patience, perseverance, determination,
defining opportunity and taking advantage at the right moment! Some reviews: 'Hi Sean, That was one of the most inspiring hour sessions I have ever spent listening to somebody'. Warren O'Reilly Once
again a thank you from the Nedbank team! We bubbled all day and have
been dining out on your stories. Preparation meets opportunity has
stuck. 'The feedback from your presentation was only positive! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and we drew reference to it throughout the conference. I believe the presentation was so inspiring it will have a lasting impact!' -Bridget Ward, Toledo Consulting 'Everyone is singing your praises about last week’s (fund-raising) function. The headmaster said, “It was quarter to ten, en die manne het nou al bietjie gekuier, but you could hear a pin drop for 45 minutes.” Thank you so very much' - Ruda Landman I thought the talk was excellent. Sean spoke very well and his visual presentation tied in perfectly with his talk. The combination of both made for a most compelling and thought provoking hour. I feel privileged to have heard him. Colin Shaw Legal Advisor - Bidfreight Port Operations (Pty) Ltd Sean Wisedale's professional visual presentation and inspirational talk to the DGHS grade 10 and 11 learners and staff was a wonderful and meaningful experience for everyone. The detailed visuals were truly awesome. The girls and staff found the personal challenges faced and conquered by Sean and his team most motivating. They particularly enjoyed his great sense of humour and were touched by the romantic proposal on the mountaintop! We thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and are most grateful to have been fortunate enough to share in Sean's magnificent achievements. The Staff and Girls of DGHS Once again thank you so much for coming up to speak to us on a Saturday. I have spoken to staff and pupils alike about your presentation and all agree that it was exceptional. Pupils have said that it was inspiring and the main lesson they learnt was not to give up, no matter how many obstacles and frustrations you may encounter. Staff said you spoke very well and had an excellent way of engaging the younger pupils. We appreciated your patience with all the questions from the younger set. Rory Randall Cowan House Hilton Sean Wisedale videographer,photographer,lifesaver and, more recently, celebrated mountain climber enthralled the boys of Hilton College on Wednesday the 1st February at the college campus. His 'show' which featured real live footage of his incredibly brave ascent of Everest almost 50 years to the day after the first-ever ascent by Hilary and Tensing along the same route. He soldiered on when the rest of the team had descended or 'choppered' back to base camp. His highly energised talk and presentation inspired the pupils and encouraged them to follow their dreams. He is among a celebrated few who have scaled the highest peaks on all seven continents and his talk is candid, refreshing and absorbing and bears testimony to a son of whom South Africa can be rightfully proud. Superbly fit and highly motivated, Sean has another essential gift which is his indomitable and resilient spirit. His first foray into writng 'Freeze Frame' is a very worthy read with beautiful visual footage and this too proved very popular among the pupils. This was a thoroughly absorbing hour and I would recommend him highly - Ant Durnford Your presentation was undoubtedly the highlight of the proceedings and I have no doubt that it was your name on the invitation that attracted a record attendance to this year’s event! Your achievement can only be marvelled at and your unassuming manner only magnifies this incredible accomplishment” - Herman Schoeman, MANAGING DIRECTOR, Guardrisk Insurance “10/10. Fantastic. I would recommend Sean anytime” – Eddie Bisset, CEO, Herbex “The audience response was very positive. My perception was that they found the presentation interesting and inspirational. From the questions and interactive session afterwards, it appeared that most people followed the presentation closely. His delivery style with visuals worked well and kept the interest throughout the presentation”. - Ian Tennant CEO, MultiChoice Africa Ltd, sub- Saharan Africa Excellent! They haven’t stopped talking about it – the audience was entranced. Such a lovely, charming guy. – Paddy Hatfield, The Country Club, Johannesburg “He was a great speaker and very motivational with out being showy and over the top as some motivational speakers are” – Sarah Hallas, o/b/o MSD “Sean is a very interesting and engaging speaker. He is passionate and this is quite apparent in his talk and it certainly draws people to him”. - Whalley & Associates o/b/o the Engineers on the Nelson Mandela Bridge Very good! The audience was amazed and found his presentation very enjoyable. – Jean Lawrence – Chemical Services Ltd. Excellent & very well accepted!Sean’s energy & enthusiasm was highly inspirational and made a real difference to our Management & Professional teams. – Gerhard Stapelberg – Eskom, Lethabo Power Station Your talk on the ascent of Everest last night aroused a great amount of interest amongst the Rotary members and friends, and many comments I picked up indicated it was the best we have had for a long time. Well done and thank you most sincerely for making time available to give us your talk and showing us your magnificent videoclips of the expedition. A memorable experience! Tony Tucker I invited Sean to deliver the key note talk at our International User Conference gala dinner held in Johannesburg. We had just on 100 guests, partners and employees and I must have had at least 30 people coming to me afterwards having all felt humbled, excited and motivated by the content. He delivery style makes you feel involved and the visuals are quite extraordinary. Dave Wibberley Managing Director - Adroit Technologies Our company GBE hosts an annual “pursuing excellence” conference that covers topics of excellence - Sean’s awesome “real life” presentation on his incredible and “excellent” mountain climbing journey and achievements in his pursuit of Mount Everest were shared with passion and professionalism. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all the delegates who attended the conference – his perseverance, guts and persistency on his mountain climbing journey is an encouragement and motivation to all people who are struggling with various mountains in their lives. Junior Burger – GBE Director To mirror the ideals and vibe of our company, we wanted a winner with a zest for life who was inspirational, passionate, inspiring, humourous, energetic, motivational (but not in the normal rah rah manner), down to earth and able to communicate with all cultures and social strata. When I read 'Freeze Frame' I knew he was the man ! Memorable and highly recommended – Dan Chiorboli (Sales and Marketing Director, Waltons KZN) Sean’s entrance in his special suit immediately captured everybody’s attention, and he captured the imagination of all those present. His story of the trials and tribulations faced by the climbing team, and his photographic illustrations made his presentation come alive for every member of the audience.
