Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us. I for one left that night feeling a little lighter and with a feeling of anything is possible firmly within my grasp and I know I wasn’t the only one! The number of questions you fielded on the night clearly demonstrated the fact that you had struck a chord with so many women and I have received quite a few emails thanking us for the inspiration you provided.

Di's rivetting stories kept our finance department spell bound as they relived the adventures of her amazing Wild Women. She proved to us that we can all achieve remarkable goals if we "never, never, never give up" and that an extreme adventure challenge will inspire us to be the healthiest we've ever been. Citigroup
Now I get it. We’ve tried all sorts of social activities, drinks nights and things. Trying to get the staff communicating better. But nothing has ever worked like a Wild Walk. Stellar Group
Di's energy and vitality came oozing through every word she spoke, passion and commitment was never in question. The fact that she conveyed her message that every 'woman' (really everyone) has their own mountain discover it and go conquer it but never never never give up on yourself. WIMBN
Just wanted to Thank you for a fantastic presentation today. Your energy was so contagious, and what appealed to me the most was that the stories (both yours and your team's) reflect every day, ordinary women achieving their dreams and goals. Very inspirational. Personal Mortgage Advisor
It was an absolute pleasure to have you inspire and motivate some of the women in our workplace. It was a brilliant way to start the day and the things you talked about really resonated with a lot of us working in a career in finance which is so time intensive. I have learned that I can push a little harder and fit more things into my day if I want to. We appreciate you coming in an offering some insight into how you set and achieve what seem like "unattainable" goals. It just shows that us ordinary people who never never never give up can really have it all! Barclays Capital, Commodities
