Biography of Nic Feteris

Imagine taking ONE step and you are propelled into the most extreme environment on earth. Turning back is not an option. You are now in the vicinity of what it feels like to make a freefall parachute jump off a very tall mountain.

Nic Feteris jumps off mountains, and he asks his audiences to do that too.

Like this: picture yourself thousands of feet up, toes hanging over the edge of a sheer vertical drop, ready to jump. Think of the most focused you have ever been in your entire life. Now quadruple it… Now, jump.

Whatever you were thinking about one minute ago has vanished. Suddenly all that exists is what you see before you and a set of actions to make your jump successful and safe. Now imagine Nic taking his audience on that jump at your event. Preparing your team for it’s own giant leap forward and helping them to concentrate on their challenge ahead.

Nic speaks about climbing and jumping off mountains (plus other awe-inspiring pinnacles, like the Statue of Liberty) in terms of the teamwork, planning, and solution selling that makes his adventures achievable. He does so while demonstrating the pioneering spirit, tenacity, and sheer determination that is very often necessary to transform our dreams, visions or ideas into reality.

When Nic made his first pioneering jump from a mountain, El Capitan, at Yosemite National Park in California, he was alone, with no one to lead the way. He had never even heard of “base-jumping” back then, an adventure sport well established today. He was pioneering too, when he set the existing world-record for the highest base-jump by parachuting from another very special and spectacular mountain, the 21,000-foot high Great Trango Tower in Pakistan. That time, however, it was a team effort.

Nic successfully executed his idea to make a documentary with partner National Geographic Television and distributed it to over 80 countries. He sold his film concept to corporate sponsors who also profited from its success. Most of all, he realized his vision to portray a sport which many regarded was for people with a “death wish”, as an inspiring professional adventure.

The professional skills Nic drew upon to make that and other dreams come true were developed during a former career in media and advertising. He worked in magazine publishing for more than a decade, mostly with media specializing in information technology, in positions ranging from Sales Executive to Publisher.

These days Nic runs Jump, his marketing and promotions business based in Sydney (with an affiliate office in Los Angeles). As well as being the vehicle that promotes and coordinates Nic’s adventures, Jump is a consultant to strategic and equity partners.

Finally, after inspiring his audience to take pioneering steps to the brink of their own precipice of outstanding personal achievement, Nic takes them right over the edge, with breathtaking film footage of his world-record jump. It is an unforgettable visual experience that will raise the eyebrows of your most “been there, done that” overachievers.

Whether your audience needs to jump into the record books, or step just outside their personal comfort zone, Nic leaves you with a fresh sense of courage and commitment to succeed.
