Nic Feteris

Imagine taking ONE step and you are propelled into the most extreme environment on earth. Turning back is not an option.
You are now in the vicinity of what it feels like to make a freefall parachute jump off a very tall mountain.

Nic Feteris jumps off mountains and he asks his audiences to do that too. Like this: picture yourself thousands of feet up, toes hanging over the edge of a sheer vertical drop, ready to jump. Think of the most focused you have ever been in your entire life. Now quadruple it.

Now, jump.

Whatever you were thinking about one minute ago has vanished. Suddenly all that exists is what you see before you, and a set of actions to make your jump successful and safe.

Now imagine Nic taking his audience on that jump, at your event. Preparing your team for its' own giant leap forward. Helping them to concentrate on their challenge ahead.

Nic speaks about climbing and jumping off mountains (plus other awe-inspiring pinnacles, like the Statue of Liberty) in terms of the teamwork, planning, and solution selling that makes his adventures achievable. He does so while demonstrating the pioneering spirit, tenacity, and sheer determination that are very often necessary to transform our dreams, visions or ideas into reality.

When Nic made his first pioneering jump from a mountain, El Capitan, at Yosemite National Park in California, he was alone, with no one to lead the way. He had never even heard of "base-jumping" back then, an adventure sport well established today.

He was pioneering too when he set a world-record for the highest base-jump, by parachuting from another very special and spectacular mountain, the 21,000-foot high Great Trango Tower in Pakistan. This time, however, it was a team effort.

Nic successfully executed his idea to make a documentary, with partner National Geographic Television distributing it to over 80 countries. He sold his film concept to corporate sponsors, who also profited from its success. Most of all, he realised his vision to portray a sport many regarded was for people with a "death wish", as an inspiring professional adventure.

The professional skills Nic drew upon to make that and other dreams come true were developed during a former career in media and advertising. He worked in magazine publishing for more than a decade, mostly with media specialising in information technology, in positions ranging from Sales Executive to Publisher.

These days Nic runs Jump, his marketing and promotions business based in Sydney. As well as being the vehicle that promotes and coordinates Nic's adventures, Jump is a consultant to strategic and equity partners.

Finally, after inspiring his audience to take pioneering steps to the brink of their own precipice of outstanding personal achievement, Nic takes them right over the edge, with breathtaking film footage of his world-record jump. It is an unforgettable visual experience that will raise the eyebrows of your most "been there, done that" overachievers.

Whether your audience needs to jump into the record books, or step just outside their personal comfort zone, Nic leaves you with a fresh sense of courage and commitment to succeed.

What Nic says...

Think of me as a captivating headline to an advertisement with a important message. Your message! Great ads get attention by startling, entertaining, or being highly paradoxical to their audience. When you consider that I take you leaping off tall objects for inspiration (to succeed, not suicide), that's what I do too. As a dramatic opening to set the scene of your event. Or a finale to encapsulate all that you've said and done. My stories make minds more receptive to the key propositions you present.

Freefalling down a mountain is the ultimate shock and awe experience. Watching granite rush past is awe-inspiring. Comprehending where you are is a premeditated shock. It looks unbelievable. But you know it is 100% true! Every thought you had beforehand has vanished. Nothing exists, but right here, right now. When I jump on stage, thrilling scenes make you forget what was on your mind before the meeting. So you can be utterly focused on achieving your own mind-boggling feats.

Expect a journey of high excitement and adventure. Along the way I sincerely and seamlessly relate to your challenges in a context more extreme than most in my audience will have dreamed of. I can do that because orchestrating a professional adventure takes planning, teamwork, risk management, and even solution-selling to achieve. Film footage of my world record setting base-jump from Great Trango Tower in Pakistan raises the eyebrows of the most been there, done-that overachiever.

Some people say my tall stories made their challenges more believable. For others it was how I related to their business for examples) that made what I had to say so true. Make me the headline to your next event and let's make your tall stories believable and achievable too.
