Gill Tree became lost in the African jungle on her own. She emerged 5 days later a very different person, having discovered and developed strengths that until then had been untested, a level of resourcefulness and creativity that has enabled her to create two successful businesses which go from strength to strength.

“After climbing Mount Kenya to almost 17,000 feet I became disorientated by altitude sickness. It took me five days of walking through a river, and following animal paths, negotiating waterfalls and relying on my sense of smell to warn of animals close by, to reach safety. At the beginning it was below freezing at night and having lost all my belongings down a waterfall I shivered myself to sleep. Initially energised by the challenge, without food and walking and climbing twelve hours a day, I lost two stone and got more and more exhausted as time went on. I could close my eyes and be asleep on my feet and I had to will myself to go on. It was close to Christmas and I made a decision I would not spend Christmas alone on that mountain. That gave me the determination to continue. In fact I was found by two very kind Kenyan men on Christmas eve!"

That crisis became an opportunity to rewrite the script of her life.

Corporate Training on Stress Management

On returning to the UK, Gill became fascinated by how the mind works during survival and pressure situations. She devised a stress management programme titled “Performing under Pressure” and created an interactive training programme and board game for the corporate world called “It’s a jungle out there™” to challenge the participant and think beyond their normal limitations. She teaches how to thrive in the concrete jungle, based on a very real experience of surviving the dangers of the African jungle.

Public Speaker

Gill is also an exuberant, joyous presenter who tells her jungle story. “Many people are on the finding themselves journey, but haven’t lost themselves sufficiently!”

The story is a parable to stimulate people to embrace life and stretch themselves physically, mentally and emotionally and to rekindle the spirit, energy and motivation that bring people alive.

Today it is easy to lose belief in ourselves, forget our dreams and loose the confidence to develop our untapped skills and capabilities. Gill’s presentation encourages the hero in each person to come out and, within that process, strengths, capabilities and skills appear that they didn’t even know they had.

Aims of the Presentation
To entertain
To motivate and inspire
To teach key lessons of what it takes to thrive

Gill is a feminine speaker with a powerful story that impacts men and women equally, conveying her message with lightness and humour. As the successful founder/MD of her company Essentials for Health, she walks in the same shoes as her listeners. Her experience in the danger zone will encourage others out of their comfort zones. She now lives the life she dreamed about, is a credible example of work life balance, an ambassador for living life fully and a strong role model for other women.

20% of her fee goes to the Mount Kenya Trust.
