Inspirational keynote
To kick off the challenge, Munich Strategy had invited Helga Hengge, the first German woman to successfully climb Mount Everest, to give an inspirational talk. Illustrated with spectacular photographs of her two-month long ascent via the North East ridge in Tibet, Helga shared her enthusiasm for the adventure of a great goal and for pushing physical and emotional boundaries in the face of challenge. She talked about the step-by-step ascent, the power of a team and about dealing with setbacks.
The speaker’s fee for this inspirational evening and a bonus amount will be donated to the non-profit association ‘Nepalhilfe Beilngries’. Since 1990, Nepalhilfe Beilngries has built schools and orphanages in Nepal and supported hospitals and other projects.
