The Everest Package.
Your team’s complete climb — an inspirational talk, a virtual challenge, an outdoor challenge and Mental Toughness coaching, fused into one measured journey. Engagement at the start, evidence at the end.
Around £25,000 of individual services — delivered as one measured programme.
Inspiration is easy. Proving change is hard.
A great speaker lifts the room for a week. An away-day is forgotten by month-end. And when the budget conversation comes around, you can’t actually show what changed. The Everest Package is built to fix exactly that — it turns a moment of inspiration into a measured shift you can put a number on.
Engagement that fades
A one-off talk inspires, then daily life resumes. We follow it with challenge and coaching that embed the shift.
Team-building that doesn’t transfer
Fun days rarely change how people work. A real mountain, and coaching around it, makes it stick.
No proof of ROI
Most programmes can’t evidence impact. We measure mental toughness before and after — distance travelled, in black and white.
Five stages. One measured climb.
Each stage builds on the last — from first engagement to embodied, evidenced change — with the MTQ assessment taken at the start and the finish to measure how far your people have come.
Every stage earns its place.
Buy-in, from the first minute.
The problem: most initiatives lose the room before they begin — people arrive sceptical or checked-out. What happens: Ricky’s “Follow Your Dreams” keynote takes the team from a Glasgow council estate to the summit of Everest, and hands them a shared language of mental toughness.
The impact — a room that’s bought in, energised, and ready to take part.
“Your ability to tell the story authentically and with humility brings your adventures powerfully to life. We salute you.”
Matt Smith · Head of Public Sector, Citrix UK&IMomentum everyone can join.
The problem: energy dips within days, and hybrid or remote staff get left out. What happens: the whole organisation takes on a virtual challenge to a shared summit — logging everyday activity toward one goal, wherever they are.
The impact — the entire workforce moving together: inclusive, visible, and genuinely fun.
In a recent corporate Everest Base Camp challenge, 182 of 300 people took part — 61% — logging nearly 8,000 km between them.
Zendesk · Everest Base Camp virtual challengeMeasure it, then build it.
The problem: you can’t improve what you don’t measure — and “resilience training” is usually a guess. What happens: every participant takes the world-leading MTQ mental-toughness assessment, and Ricky coaches individuals and the team on exactly what the data reveals.
The impact — a clear baseline for every person, and coaching aimed where it will actually count.
“Ricky was brilliant, and his story inspired many our of team to participate in the Virtual Three Peaks challenge. He provided support and advice along the way, to help keep everyone fit and in good spirits! I would highly recommend Ricky to anyone looking to explore future team building or social/charity initiatives.
Lewis Brock · Progeny - Virtual Challenge clientWhere it becomes real.
The problem: lessons learned in a room rarely survive contact with real pressure. What happens: the team takes on a genuine mountain — Ben Nevis, or an overseas trek — led safely, where the mindset work meets real effort, weather and a true summit.
The impact — mental toughness embodied under real conditions, and trust forged on the hill.
“Thank you Ricky — an amazing weekend. We were very well looked after and couldn’t have asked for more… super encouraging, good fun and highly professional. Ricky is outstanding — we feel like we’ve made a new friend!”
Jo Chandler · Guided challenge weekendProof, not promises.
The problem: when the ROI question comes, most programmes have nothing to show. What happens: the MTQ assessment is re-taken and compared to the baseline — the distance travelled, for every individual and the team.
The impact — evidence of change you can take to the board, not just a feeling in the room.
“I cannot recommend Ricky highly enough - the feedback and engagement across the firm was outstanding. Ricky is able to inspire you to work on your goals and realise that anything is possible.”
Louise McCosh · Managing Director, FD People

Worth it — and worth putting a number on.
Bought as separate services, a typical Everest Package (around 150 people) stacks up like this. As one measured programme, it comes in below the sum of its parts — and delivers something the parts never could on their own: proof.
A worked example for ~150 people, with the MTAP coaching delivered to the cohort as a group — the “from £19,950” reflects that. Prefer full individual 1:1 coaching journeys across the cohort? That’s available as a premium, from around £29,950. Every programme is scoped to your team, so your quote will differ; each element is also available on its own. Prices exclude VAT.
Blue-chip teams. Real results.
Ricky has worked with the people of blue-chip companies, professional bodies and the public sector — from FTSE names to charities — delivering talks, challenges and coaching that people remember.

“This was a truly memorable talk from an extraordinary man. Ricky’s story is straight from the heart; he is disarmingly honest about the hurdles he has had to overcome, and that still exist. His achievements are immense but there is no sense of bravado in how he talks about them; humility and passion for what he does. It’s quite evident that he had us all enthralled, and inspired.”

"Thanks Ricky for a superb talk at our client event. What's interesting to me is how relevant Ricky's talk is to so many people. Our audience of business owners were inspired and entertained, but equally one of the actions I took down was for me to introduce Ricky to my local high school where my kids go. Ricky's message is, in my view, critical for young kids to hear too."

"A truly inspiring talk by Ricky, enjoyed by students and staff alike. Ricky was able to engage with even the most challenging students because he was very 'real'. This is not a story about something that has just come easily but a dream achieved through hard work and determination. Now more than ever, young people are needing to learn to be resilient and look after both their mental and physical well-being. I would highly recommend booking this talk as it will apply to anyone, whatever stage they are at in life."

"Ricky's talk to 170 staff about following our dreams and overcoming obstacles in the Marathon des Sables and his Everest attempts had us all totally gripped from start to finish. Feedback from staff has been tremendous and everyone so appreciated Ricky's openness and honesty about how he had overcome the various obstacles during his life and achieved such fantastic things. Had we all been in the same room, it would have been "pin drop" quiet - as it was, the comments on the Teams chat expressed everyone's appreciation of this incredible story."
