In April 2011, Gabriel Filippi will make his third summit of Everest. He will attempt to reach the summit without the use of external oxygen.
Gabriel Filippi has travelled over 40 countries, from one summit to the next always in support of a worthy cause. He shares his time between his two great passions, the people and the mountains. Gabriel climbs rocks, ice falls and he is a high altitude mountaineer. To this day, he has reached numerous summits around the world ranging from local ice falls to summits high as 5 000 to 8 000 meters!
As a professional speaker, Gabriel Filippi, has an undeniable charisma. His conference takes his audience to a magnificent voyage to the top of Mount Everest. Beyond the extreme physical tests of the high altitude adventure lies the cruellest challenge of all: the death of his friend Sean on the mountain. With great openness, Gabriel carries everyone into this inspiring journey about finding a piece of blue sky in any life’s storm. He reaches people and motivates them to identify their strengths and to persevere in their quest for their own summit. Along with breathtaking pictures and footage of the expedition comes a story of passion for life and love of people.
Gabriel lives in Montreal, Canada with his family. He presents at conferences in English or French and adapts them to the specific needs of his clients: decision making, problem solving, overcoming obstacles, teamwork, reaching goals, achievement, determination, motivation, dreams… or pure entertainment.
