Prior to the Everest Expedition, Bear Grylls spent three years with the British Special Air Service (21 SAS). In 2003, Bear successfully completed another ground breaking expedition leading a team across the freezing North Atlantic Arctic Ocean in a small open rigid inflatable boat. He has authored 15 books, including the No 1 Bestseller: ‘Mud Sweat & Tears’ which was voted the most influential book in China for 2012.<\/p>\n

In 2013 his US TV series Get Out Alive with Bear Grylls was aired on NBC and showed worldwide on Discovery Channel. He has led ground-breaking expeditions across the world. His passion and enthusiasm for the outdoors are now shared and enjoyed through his TV programmes in over 150 different countries, reaching over one billion people worldwide.<\/p>\n

“One of the most moving and honest speakers I have heard” – Spike Milligan<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bear’s story of progressing from a broken back in hospital to the summit of the world’s highest mountain, is one that touches people globally. Bear’s talks focus on those simple qualities that make the difference between life and death on a mountain: the intimacies and realities of teamwork, the honesty needed in intense environments and the courage that comes not from bravado but from something else inside.<\/p>\n

Bear Grylls has a natural talent for communication and his talks are both challenging and informative. His is a story of honesty, friendships, determination and humility.<\/p>\n
