Meet Remy
Remy Kloos is a high-altitude mountaineer, mindset coach, humanitarian and professional speaker. On track to be the youngest African to scale the infamous 7 summits, she is not only a positive role model to women and youth but all those who wish to challenge themselves to step outside their comfort zones to pursue what sets their souls on fire.
After suffering through years of debilitating depression and crippling levels of anxiety, at an all time and in a bid to search for inner resolve she turned to high- altitude mountaineering. Mountains have become her greatest classroom for learning. Remy inspires her audiences with thought provoking stories and meaningful lessons learnt from her high-altitude endeavours. She challenges her audience to shift their perspectives all whilst providing some powerful insights behind willpower, courage, teamwork, grit and grace. Remy’s raw, real, heartfelt and interactive presentations move audiences to relate to the extreme highs and lows of climbing the tallest mountains around the world.
Teens and young adults love her epic adventure stories, endless enthusiasm and her positive outlook on life. Business professionals, adults and advisers love her authenticity, passion and value-driven teachings. Captivating, wise, with a super sense of humour, Remy’s mission is to ensure her audiences walk away feeling empowered and inspired with an ignited spark of adventure.
I've been lucky enough to climb with Remy on Aconcagua during her quest for the Seven Summits. She made seemingly easy work of this mighty South American giant while always having a smile on her face and helping her teammates through the difficult times. She is someone that loves where she is and lives each moment to the fullest, especially while in the mountains. Determination and grit are seemingly afterthoughts to her- she's too engrossed in enjoying the ride and accomplishing big goals. Remy epitomizes the adventurous spirit and does so with grace and ease. And always for a good cause. What an asset to have on any team.
Remy's passionate portrayal of her high-altitude mountaineering adventures coupled with the mental challenges made me sit up at take notice. Remy presents her story with understated elegance. She has a deep-seated drive to live life without regret and an ability to turn mental or physical pain into a positive state.
Remy was exceptional - natural, engaging and truly inspiring. So much so that one of our members, who has been going through some difficult time mentally and financially, has suddenly had a turnaround and has become enthusiastic and energised – and he openly expresses and acknowledges this. Seriously – I kid you not! So, if the ‘Power of One’ adage is true – Remy has just reached a new summit and she has helped someone on their climb.
When you meet Remy Kloos she is kind and friendly, warm and kind and all of those virtues she owns. In her adventure life she is committed, unrelenting and tough and I know very few people who would be able to do the things that she can do. I have met, befriended and worked together with Remy as a professional speaker and radio presenter. Every presentation she has done for me has been supremely professional and she has such a good rapport with clients that they almost always end up being friends. For me, Remy has become more than just another adventurer and speaker. I want to be part of her life, if only to be part of the enormous things she has already done but also those that are still ahead of her. A person of utmost integrity and I would highly recommend her for anything she sets her mind to
Remy was invited as a guest speaker at our launch to talk about her dreams and goals of becoming the youngest African to scale the 7 Summits of the world and the first South African achieving back to back summits of both Mt. Everest and Mt. Lhotse in 24 hours - both monumental goals! Remy's talk about her personal journey of healing, inner-strength, belonging and perseverance spoke to the core of who we as a company are and why we exist. Her talk spoke to the head as well as the heart of our business, our people. Her message resonated with everything we stand for and we look forward to working with Remy on some of our key projects aimed at making a difference to our country, our people, our youth and our world. We wish Remy all the very best and look forward to sharing these amazing journeys with her. Onwards and upwards Remy!
I had the pleasure of first meeting Remy when she did an extraordinary talk at a charity event I attended. She is so inspiring and has immense spirit and determination. It is difficult to sum it up, but she is a very special person and she speaks with such ease, grace and impact! She has enormous dreams and the grit and heart to achieve them. I just know that whatever she does in life she will be really successful.
I had the pleasure of having Remy speak at a charity fundraising event that I hosted, and I also had the opportunity to interview her for a company that I work for, for their YouTube content. Remy is a ray of sunshine and a great inspiration to all. I felt so honoured to be able to work with her and to hear her story. Her professionalism and thorough work ethic is something to be admired. My guests at the fundraising event were duly impressed with her moving talk and she was the highlight of the event! She is easy going and an absolute pleasure to work with! She is extremely well spoken, motivated and inspiring in all the best ways. I would highly recommend working with her - whether it be as a motivational speaker, coach, to host a workshop, collaborate with your brand or sponsor one of her high-altitude expeditions. She is going places, and you do not want to miss out!
What I love most about Remy is her bravery & selflessness. She is never afraid to go after her dreams and meet her stiffest challenges. But the thing is she’s doing this not for herself... her motivation is always others. The #JustClimb campaign bears testament to this. Having raised several hundred thousand rand for our initiatives, Dlala Nje is lucky to have Remy boxing in our corner.
