Diabetes is NOT an excuse!

About me

“You can ALWAYS do more than you think you can”

At 16, Jerry traversed Iceland’s Icecap, at 17 Mont Blanc, at 19 the 75 classic peaks of the Alberta Rockies, and at 21 he earn’t his Green Beret as a Royal Marines Officer: his start to a lifetime of extreme adventure, repeated setbacks, and continual breakthroughs that continues to this day. Jerry defines the phrase “Resilience and success through repeated failure” - a broken neck…twice, a direct lightning strike, -30C avalanches, Himalayan tragedy, and the diagnosis of a chronic illness…

…this is Jerry Gore.

motivational talks & workshops

“His style is inspirational, and his positive attitude is infectious.”

No one lives ‘life on the edge’ quite like Jerry. And when you’re forced to constantly push barriers and overcome extreme situations, maintain a positive and focused attitude, and inspire your team to aim higher - all this develops resilience and leadership skills that become engrained.

In his motivational talks, Jerry shares his approach to leadership, commitment and emotional intelligence through his thrilling life stories and photography from his expeditions around the world.

Whether you’re a successful business owner or a smug teenager, be prepared to be blown out of the water and walk away feeling invincible.

Not only did Jerry deliver a fascinating insight into this exclusive world, but he also kept us mesmerized with a combination of spectacular photography and awesome tales of adventure.

What really dazzled, though, was the sheer range and variety of climbing experiences across the globe that Jerry was able to make vivid in our imaginations.
