Sophie Lavaud, Lady 8000, Himalayist and speaker

YOU’VE PROBABLY RARELY BEEN TOLD THAT FOLLOWING IS THE WAY TO GET TO THE TOP! BUT THIS IS MY BELIEF.”
My story
I am the first French, first Swiss, and first Canadian national to have climbed all fourteen peaks over 8000m, driven more by passion than by performance. After an early career in the world of business, I chose a new path as a professional mountaineer. The Himalayas have become an integral part of my life, and it is my calling to share these experiences.

OPENINGUP NEW HORIZONS, INSPIRING PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

To date, I have given over 200 conferences internationally, in French and English, for major companies in many sectors.

As a passionate mountaineer and a committed speaker, I believe in the power of “followership” and team spirit. I talk about how these approaches and other lessons of mountaineering can be applied in everyday life and in business.

Experience the summits differently

Movies, books and always the same desire: to share what you can't see 8,000 meters away. These stories show behind the scenes, the faces, the choices. They show what an image does not always say: effort, doubt, resilience, raw beauty.
