Being Successful is setting yourself a goal that is beyond your current capabilities and achieving it.
Owner Jaco Ottink is, after having successfully climbed Mount Everest and by skiing to the North & South Pole, the second Dutch person to complete the Explores Grand Slam (the highest mountain on each of the 7 continents and both Poles). Next to that he has almost twenty years of global sales experience in the FMCG industry. This combination makes him unique for his audience, which can be one on one, in front of a crowd, at schools or together with a leadership team.
The key pillars of Beyond Summits are:
Motivational speaking, coaching talent, personal effectiveness (setting and achieving goals), authentic leadership, self-esteem talks at schools and re-energise teams through workshops.
Inspire 1 million people to fulfil their dream.
After fulfilling his dream by conquering Mount Everest, the most frequently asked question Jaco got was “what is next?” or “what’s your new goal?”. It did not take him long to come up with the idea to inspire 1 million people to nurture their wellbeing as a key ingredient to fulfil their dreams. So a bold ambition was born and like with any other dream, Jaco is determined to achieve this goal as well.

EXPLORING
When Jaco was a little boy he always went to the Alps in Europe with his parents. They did a lot of hiking but Jaco always wanted to go further, further than the mountain hut, further on the glacier. So he started to follow several climbing courses and met many other people with the same interest including a guide who asked him to join an expedition to Mount McKinley in Alaska. This became the motivation for him to set himself a goal “climbing the 7 Summits”. This dream became a life journey. After 19 years it was time to explore the world beyond these mountains so his aim was to reach both the North and the South Pole 90 degree point which he completed early 2020 and this gave him the title of Grand Slam Explorer.
