Join me and my mentor Lydia Bradey - the first woman to climb Everest without oxygen and a mindset trainer at CareerClimb - as we delve into what made her not just successful, but one of the best, in her field of climbing and high-altitude guiding. 

Lydia has climbed Everest 6 times, most recently as a guide leading clients, and was recently invited to become the first female lead guide on a K2 expedition. She has been awarded the Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit award for her services to mountaineering. Lydia's story of being publicly accused by her male teammates of not reaching the summit on her record-breaking climb is the subject of an upcoming movie.

Lydia and I talk about:

1. Her incredible story of not just accomplishing something that many have died attempting to do, but overcoming accusations and bullying by the men in her field.
2. What she has learned from working with our CareerClimb members about women in tech and their fears, doubts, strengths and talents.
3. How the lessons she has learned in mountaineering can be applied by YOU in your career as a woman in tech.
