In her keynote, Bonita Norris emphasises the importance of cultivating a mindset that fosters success. Drawing from her experience as a beginner climber who conquered Everest, she highlights that the greatest challenges often lie within our minds, such as limiting beliefs and imposter syndrome. Attendees will learn how to build mental toughness, embrace resilience, and trust their journey, with key insights on the value of support, reflection, and focusing on small successes.
In this session, Bonita Norris delves into the relationship between failure and success. She questions whether excellent teams are those who avoid mistakes or those who embrace them as learning opportunities. Bonita shares her personal journey from the summit of Everest to rock bottom and back, illustrating how failure can inspire and strengthen team dynamics. Attendees will learn how to harness failures for greater success and foster a culture of rapid learning.
Bonita Norris challenges the traditional narrative of Everest's first ascent, emphasising that data, rather than sheer will, was crucial for success. She reframes the 1953 expedition as a triumph of science, spotlighting Dr. Griffith Pugh, whose groundbreaking research was pivotal. Drawing parallels to today's AI landscape, Bonita discusses how resistance to change can hinder progress and highlights the need to embrace disruption. Attendees will learn about the vital connection between human determination and data in driving innovation.
In this hour-long workshop, Bonita Norris builds on her session "Mountains of the Mind" to help teams further embed their learnings from the talk. The workshop is divided into two parts: the first focuses on identifying your team's ultimate goal, obstacles, and strategies, while the second emphasises teamwork and fostering strong connections among team members.
