Joe Simpson Biography

Joe Simpson is a British mountaineer, author, and motivational speaker. While climbing in Peru in 1985, he suffered severe injuries and was thought lost after falling into a crevasse, but he survived and managed to crawl back to his base camp. His account of this remarkable survival, "Touching the Void," has become a bestseller with over two million copies sold worldwide and has been translated into 22 languages.

Simpson now brings his extensive experience and compelling stories to the corporate sector, delivering inspirational presentations that are tailored to suit a variety of business audiences. His talks cover essential topics such as teamwork, leadership, personal development, risk assessment, management style, and training. Among his clientele are prominent companies including BMW, Proctor & Gamble, and JP Morgan, illustrating the broad appeal and applicability of his insights in the business world.

The drama documentary adaptation of "Touching the Void" won the 2004 Baftas Outstanding British Film of the Year, surpassing films like "Cold Mountain," "Love Actually," and "Girl with a Pearl Earring." It is now recognized as the most successful documentary in British cinema history. Simpson has authored several books beyond "Touching the Void," including "The Water People," "This Game of Ghosts," "Storms of Silence," and "Dark Shadows Falling." His book "The Beckoning Silence" was also adapted into a documentary, first broadcast on Channel 4 in October 2007. Simpson's literary works continue to be acclaimed, with all his books being short-listed for the Boardman Tasker Prize.

In addition to his writing, Simpson is known for his dynamic speaking engagements, including an "all action" introduction video and stunning photography. His ability to connect with and inspire audiences of diverse nationalities has consistently exceeded expectations, reinforcing his reputation as a leading figure on the speaking circuit.
