Learn About John The...

In his wickedly entertaining style, motivational speaker John Beede will show your audience his proven formula to ‘Climb On’ to their top personal, leadership, and achievement potential.

As one of the top youth, college, and corporate motivational speakers and trainers in the world, John’s famously inspirational presentations have helped hundreds of thousands of people, just like the ones who will be at your next event. People have improved their relationships and grades, increase sports and club performance, develop leadership and goal setting skills, and most importantly, they’ve made a difference in their communities. All as a result of John’s speeches.

John uses his personal rock climbing and outdoor adventures stories to teach these principles. Currently on a quest to climb the tallest mountain on each continent, the photos, videos, and music that he incorporates into his presentation make his speeches an all-encompassing experience. The audience interaction, tear-inducing humor, and emotional stories make his speech a must-hear.

John’s adventure stories have earned him the nickname, “The Climber Guy.” If you’re tired of speakers delivering ‘canned’ and unauthentic stories, wait ’til you hear what it was like to be stuck on a slab of ice sliding towards the edge of a 1500+ foot cliff, or to nearly fall 300 feet while rock climbing, be struck by lightning, or to stand on top of the tallest mountain in Alaska, Europe, Africa, and Oceania.

Heck, he’s even done the hokey-pokey in the eye of a hurricane. How can you NOT want to hear this guy?

Sit in on his session and you’ll not only experience all of these things, but you’ll laugh yourself to tears… past audience members have literally fallen out of their chairs laughing. You never know; you may even get invited onstage.

As if all of this wasn’t good enough, each attendee will get TWO FREE surprise gifts. To see exactly what you’ll get when you bring John in to speak, you can watch several full-versions of his speeches on the motivational speaking videos page.

“I met John while working with Tanzania’s schools this summer.
John is an amazing soul and I immediately purchased his book upon
my return to the USA. The scoop… Climb On! is brilliant, straight-forward,
and to-the-point (read it in one sitting). We will use the book in our
work with young people around the planet. Wahooooo!”

Martin Fox with the Center for Global Leadership

John Has Nothing Short of a Passionate Love for Adventure

Your life is your responsibility. It’s up to you to architect your experience on earth into an incredible adventure of your own design.

Scuba diving with great white sharks in South Africa, skydiving in New Zealand, whitewater kayaking the rivers of Colorado, kitesurfing the Southern coast of Spain, or taking a taxi through the streets of Bangkok, Thailand (most scary of all!) are what give John his inspiration.

And of course, there’s the rock climbing. He ‘cut his climbing teeth’ in the famous climbing area, Red Rock Canyon, a worldwide climbing mecca only 30 minutes from his Las Vegas, NV hometown. The area sports some of the best climbing on the planet and John’s proud to call it his backyard. Now he’s climbed on 6 continents and is on a quest to climb the ’7 summits,’ which is a mountaineering quest to climb the tallest mountain on each continent, which naturally includes Mt. Everest.

Videos, photos, and even music from these adventures are the root experience of his motivational speeches.
