There is only one way to climb Everest safely. Gabriel is intimately acquainted with this 8850-m peak: he is the sole Quebecer to have climbed both its faces.

For Gabriel, every mountain has two summits. Every ascent is associated with a cause. Every action takes on a second significance that comes from social adventure.
Our world is full of social problems that tower higher than Everest, and those forced to scale them rarely have any choice. By awakening social conscience, this lecture serves as a springboard toward social engagement.
The audience comes away amazed: “After you hear this lecture, you feel personally driven to step forward for a social cause. You want to go build a school, honour the dream of a deceased friend or find a cure for a sick child.”

What is your greatest fear? Gabriel’s deepest, most petrifying fear was water. So he took a drastic measure to overcome 50 years of aquaphobia: the Ironman triathlon (2.4-mile swim, 118-mile bike, 26.2-mile run). From Day 1 of this journey until the day of the competition, only his coach (and him!) believe he could do it. This lecture will show you how to confront and overcome fear and turn it into strength. Wait for the end of the presentation where each person is glued to the images and listens to the unbelievable outcome. This story reveals how to achieve unhoped-for success.

Set off alone, with 60kg of equipment. End up alone, without a tent or a sleeping bag to ward off the elements. It was in pursuing a personal challenge – to climb to the summit of North America without assistance – that Gabriel was suddenly thrust into a perilous and totally unexpected situation. A few hours from the summit, a surprise blizzard trapped him in a shelter. He survived four days in a snow cave with only two days of provisions. Take yourself in hand, make effective decisions quickly, rely only on yourself, and have a Plan B…these are the skills that danger forces us to develop.
