Paul Deegan Biography

Is this a Tech Speaker - Paul’s passion for sharing the risk-taking, decision-making, leadership and teamwork lessons that he has learnt the hard way in remote and wild places began in the 1980s when he proposed and subsequently co-led the first environmental expedition to Mount Everest at the age of 18. Everest remained at the core of many of Paul’s adventures, and in the 1990s he made two attempts to climb the mountain of his dreams. However, after becoming embroiled in the greatest tragedy in the history of Everest, Paul gave up his dream to reach the top of the world. He vowed never to go back to the peak that claimed a dozen lives in a single month. But the dream refused to die. Eight years later, Paul finally overcame immense self-doubt and set off on a final attempt to climb Everest. Today, Paul relishes opportunities to help individuals and teams to climb their own Everest, whatever it may be. His first book received an award at the U.S. National Outdoor Book Awards. Paul delivers inspirational presentations to companies, universities, schools and clubs.
