Squash Falconer's biography

At a glance

  • First British woman to paraglide from the summit of Mont Blanc
  • Summited Mount Everest
  • Adventure documentary presenter

Squash Falconer is a record-breaking adventurer, mountaineer, and keynote speaker. She was the first British woman to climb and paraglide from the summit of Mont Blanc, having ridden there from the UK on her motorbike. Her expeditions have taken her to some of the world’s highest peaks, including Mount Everest and Cho Oyu, where she earned the distinction of becoming the world’s highest-ever bum boarder.


Through her experiences in extreme environments, Squash has developed a deep understanding of resilience, adaptability, and teamwork. Her challenges have required her to make high-stakes decisions under pressure, push past physical and mental limits, and navigate unpredictable conditions. These lessons translate powerfully into the corporate world, where she delivers engaging and thought-provoking talks on performance, leadership, and overcoming adversity.


Beyond mountaineering, Squash has set records in endurance challenges, including a 3,000-mile journey on an ElliptiGO, earning her a world record for the longest distance travelled on an elliptical bicycle. She was also a three-time European Women’s ElliptiGO Champion. Her adventurous spirit has led her to produce and present adventure documentaries, including a motorbike journey through Baja California with BMW Mexico and an expedition across South America.


Squash’s ability to connect her adventures to real-world challenges makes her a sought-after speaker for businesses and organisations looking to inspire their teams. Her talks encourage audiences to embrace resilience, adaptability, and creative problem-solving, motivating them to tackle their challenges confidently.

Does PepTalk charge a booking fee?

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.

What does the typical fee range mean?

The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.

Have all the speakers on the website worked with PepTalk before?

Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.

How far in advance should I book a speaker?

Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
