      generation and marketing strategy. She has a passion for empowering people to

      MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER
      Teena Gates
      With more than 30 years' experience as a journalist, broadcaster and trainer, Teena
      Gates has also earned a reputation as an ‘adventurist’ after losing more than half her
      own body weight in response to a health scare. From being clinically morbidly
      obese, Teena went on a journey that saw her climb to Everest Base Camp and
      beyond to Island Peak in the Himalaya, a staggering 20,305ft and close to the top of
      the world. Her adventures continued to include climbs in the French and Italian
      Alps, Mount Elgon in Uganda, climbing the highest peak in Europe, Mount Elbrus in
      Russia and kayaking a white-water rapid in The Nile. Writing of her adventures in her
      book 'One Foot In Front Of The Other', Teena candidly explores the mental battle
      that ensued in both losing weight, and in taking on an extreme physical challenge.
      She recognises how we all 'have our mountains to climb'. Teena believes that the
      principles that get her to the summits of the mountains she continues to climb, are
      the same key drivers that help us win in all walks of life, including home and
      business; and when followed are a template for success.
