Bonita Norris Speaker Biography

About Bonita Norris

Youngest British woman to climb Mount Everest
Youngest person to reach North Pole
Best Speaker Storyteller at The Speaker Awards 2024
Bonita Norris is the youngest person to reach both the summit of Mount Everest and the North Pole. She has climbed several 8,000m peaks, including Everest (8,849m), Lhotse (8,516m), and Manaslu (8,163m), and has attempted to be the first British woman to summit K2 (8,611m).

In just two years, Bonita progressed from having no climbing experience to becoming the youngest British woman to climb Everest. She later became the youngest person to reach the summit of Everest and the North Pole, a record she still holds. Her achievements in the adventure world earned her a nomination for Cosmopolitan’s Woman of the Year Award in 2011.

Before her climbing successes, Bonita faced mental health challenges. The lessons learned during her recovery shaped the mindset that enabled her to tackle the world’s highest peaks. Her record-breaking climbs were just the beginning; she has participated in eight expeditions, including those to Manaslu, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and K2.

Bonita is now a professional speaker, trusted by major corporations, and balances her speaking career with motherhood, raising two young children. Her keynote speech, "Mountains of the Mind," motivates teams to achieve challenging goals by sharing lessons on teamwork, courage, resilience, and mindset.

In 2024, Bonita was awarded Best Speaker Storyteller at The Speaker Awards, a recognition of her ability to combine powerful storytelling with impactful core messages.

Never have we had, nor have I seen a better speaker. I have seen almost every type of speaker at all functions….Bonita made people sit up and take notice. It was absolutely amazing. | | Thales | https://peptalk-static-assets.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/speech-bubble-2.webp
Genuinely the most informative and relatable talk I have listened to at these data/ AI events. | Richard Riley | Greene King | https://peptalk-static-assets.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/speech-bubble-2.webp
She was just fantastic. Never had such good feedback on a speaker (and we had some very good ones already). Her story is great, relatable (although none of us is planning an Everest climb any time soon), humbly presented, yet super engaging with all the life lessons learned to be applied to our job world [...] | | Duracell | https://peptalk-static-assets.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/speech-bubble-3.webp

Bonita shared how data played a pivotal role in the first successful summit of Everest in 1953—an eye-opening story that set the perfect tone to the day. | Neil Smith | Stibo Systems |

Loved the talk. A great story, well-told. Her ability to take a room full of self-confessed 'data nerds' into the 'death zone' (and, most importantly, back again!) was a masterclass in storytelling. Bravo! | Richard Potter | Microsoft | https://peptalk-static-assets.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/speech-bubble-4.png
