Testimonials 

My first point of contact with Shane was prior to our Drakensberg Grand Traverse in 2024 – his support, insight and mountaineering knowledge was exceptionally helpful. His sense of leadership is remarkable. Working with Shane thereafter was an absolute honour. He has a unique way of dealing with people, their current capabilities and have a clear understanding of what they are capable of. Through his unique learning style, his personality and his life and business experience and knowledge, one cannot help walk away feeling empowered, as he uses nature to help a person see life in a different perspective. Truly a man with a wealth of knowledge and wisdom, through his own journey he has come to a point where his valuable sights transform those in his presence. Thank you Shane I will climb any mountain with you and will put my life in your hands. One remarkable human who transforms and empowers!

Shane facilitated a mountain hiking experience a the recent Leadership Development event I attended. His peaceful mannerisms and engaging communication style created a very real sense of safety and equality where you feel motivated to learn and grow. Shane always encourages interactive learning, promoting the wholistic approach of combining physical experiences in life with introspection and thoughtfulness. Shane is a very experienced hiker and often teaches how lessons from nature can be applied to situations in business and human interactions. Considering the shallow, often fake world of social media we are bombarded by, I perceived a level of wisdom and emotional depth from Shane that truly inspired me.

In Drakensberg, Shane an excellent guide who was patient and gave me the confidence I needed to finish the assignment. I am still in shock at what I achieved during the program. Because Shane’s teaching is so beneficial in both professional and personal life, I heartily recommend it. “Live as if you were to die tomorrow.
