In 2004 Susan became the first British woman to be leader of an Everest Expedition and only the fifth British woman in history to stand on the summit of Mount Everest.
Susan grew up with hills and mountains and seas. She started out in life as a school teacher, but put that career to one side when she became an adventurer and stepped outside life’s boundaries. She challenged the limitations that are set for us by others and that we set for ourselves and she challenged the beliefs that go with them.
Susan is also a sailor and in the autumn of 1997 spent 2 months on a small yacht sailing across the Atlantic Ocean. This experience brought with it the challenge of coping with isolation and the fear of something going wrong, weeks away from help. Susan believes this helped her gain the mental strength that is needed to cope with the extreme challenge of climbing Mount Everest.
Now she has come full circle. She has come back to teaching again, but this time in a broader sense of the word, armed with the knowledge, experience and a better understanding of how she can make a difference in people’s lives. Using the skills she has acquired while on her journey through life, and viewed from the perspective of challenges overcome, fears faced up to and the seemingly unattainable realised, Susan wants to pass on what she has learned so that others can benefit from it. She wants to help people to see that not only do they have the ability to achieve their potential - but that they actually do have potential at all. That we all do.
For when Susan stood on the summit of the highest mountain on the planet and looked down on the earth from a perspective which very few people have been priviliged to see, she realised for the first time, that anything is possible for anyone, anywhere.
