“Lauren Currie is a great storyteller… her passion is not only engaging but also completely infectious and inspirational. She loves design and making things better as much as tartan and the colour red… this is not an exaggeration.”

Aimee Tasker, Common Good

He held the audience with flair, gusto and intimate knowledge on his subject matter. His talks are nothing short of excellent, his easy-going manner make it easy to listen and learn. Nathan has a very personable nature and a special aura about him.”

Kenton Cool, Mountaineer and Adventurer

Participant PwC

"At Charlotte Street Partners we offer insight and advice to businesses and organisations. At the moment, everyone can benefit from listening to those people who have already faced enormous adversity and come through it. Those people who can show us how to keep going and bring the best out of the most trying circumstances.
"Nobody does that better than Mollie Hughes. Her one-hour event with us was thought provoking, uplifting and full of practical advice. Clients and guests loved it and new thinking emerged from it."

Malcolm Robertson, Founding Partner, Charlotte Street Partners

"Mollie Hughes has the natural ability to take the qualities required to climb to the roof of the world and make them resonate with audiences as varied as impressionable school children, to hard to impress business communities. Young or old, male or female long after Mollie has left the room she continues to inspire others if not to climb; then certainly to move mountains to achieve their dreams."
