Teamwork...Servant Leadership...Risk Management...Handling Failure
Jon knows from his experience climbing and sleeping on the summits of Colorado's 14ers and being a member of expeditions to Mt. Everest (most recent summit in 2024) and K2, as well as other peaks around the world, that the above qualities make the difference between successful and unsuccessful outcomes.
In his captivating keynote speeches, mountains are metaphors for life and business. We all have metaphorical summits we are aiming to reach. As an organization, how do you determine when the risks of pursuing a project outweigh the benefits? How does your organization handle the adversity that comes with storms: failed projects, bad economy, unhappy clients, product recalls, and more?
For Jon, on mountain expeditions these decisions can make the difference between life and death. He will take your audience on an awe-inspiring journey through the adversity he's faced in his professional climbing career, and share the qualities we all need to climb the Everest's in our lives.
Failure can be an integral part of the journey.
