Exploration and Innovation

Brigitte Koch-Muir OAM summitted Everest in 1997, on her fourth attempt. Storms, spending the night out at 8500m without light or oxygen, and being caught in the 1996 disaster on the South Col of Everest are some of the challenges she faced before eventually summitting. She was a high altitude expedition climber, and leader, for almost thirty years. She is a story teller, Inspirational speaker, and she belongs to the Beyond the Smile Friendily, and the SEED Alliances, a network of people excited by the idea of changing the world by implementing a business model based on the seven chakras, and having fun doing it.

Developing local , sustainable jobs for subsistence farming women, and Nepali kids who went to high school but did not finish their degrees, sharing with like minded people on community treks to Nepal, getting crowdfunding to keep working on the Beyond the Smile documentary, and gratitude for each day on this beautiful planet are what gets her out of bed each morning!
