At 6.30am on the 4<sup>th<\/sup> June 2005, aged only 21 and 135 days old, he reached the summit of Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world and his 7<sup>th<\/sup> continental highpoint. At the time, he was the youngest Briton to climb Mt Everest, and the youngest man in the world to complete the 7 Summits.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2008 Jake has been focusing on trying to climb K2 in Pakistan, the second highest mountain in the world and arguably the most difficult and dangerous in the world with a 1 in 5 death rate. He made attempts in 2009 and 2016, but on both occasions he was forced to turn back on his summit attempt, mere hours from his goal. Undeterred, in 2018 he returned for a third time, and on the 21<sup>st<\/sup> July 2018 he finally stood on the summit of K2. In doing so he joined an elite and extremely small group of some of the world\u2019s best climbers to have done the same \u2013 fewer than 400 people who have stood on the top of K2 (more people have been into space) and 85 have died trying. Jake\u2019s 10 year odyssey shows that perseverance can truly pay off.<\/p>\n<p>Jake has worked as a full-time leadership development consultant for the Inspirational Development Group (IDG) since 2010. IDG offers first-class training designed to\u00a0transform the behaviour of individuals and teams, and lead to sustainable change within an organisation. They offer a range of bespoke Leadership Development programmes focussing on the interlocking areas of Leadership, Followership and Partnership, to produce accomplished leaders who are also effective followers and highly skilled team players.<\/p>\n<p>He was an ambassador to the Duke of Edinburgh\u2019s Awards Scheme, and regularly presented the Gold awards at St James\u2019s Palace, and has worked closely with a number of charities including Walking With The Wounded, Help for Heroes, The Prince\u2019s Trust, the Prince\u2019s Teaching Institute, Make-A-Wish Foundation, and the CAIRN Trust.<\/p>\n<p>Jake is also a commissioned officer in the Army Reserve, and in 2012 spent 6.5 months in Afghanistan as a Battlegroup Influence and Consequence Management Officer.<\/p>\n<p>Jake is available as a thought-provoking, inspirational and motivational speaker for events around the world. His presentation can be tailored specifically to the audience and to fulfil the aims and objectives of the client. He is comfortable providing focused and intimate discussion with small teams of Senior Executives, or presenting to large audiences of 1800+.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jake was only 14 when he set his sights on wanting to climb the \u20187 Summits\u2019 \u2013 the highest mountain on each continent.
