Alan Mallory
Speaker | Author | Performance Coach
Project Everest
Climbing Mount Everest is considered one of humanity’s greatest feats of physical, mental and emotional endurance. The exciting expedition to the top of the world’s highest peak is a journey filled with unparalleled challenges and some of the roughest, most extreme conditions imaginable. Alan Mallory took on the challenge and set a world record when he, along with three other members of his immediate family, reached the summit after an incredible two-month expedition.
Alan’s dynamic presentation focuses on effective tools and strategies that enable committed teams to embrace challenging situations, work together on finding solutions, and deliver successful outcomes. The real story is much more than the climb; it is about a purpose-driven team that set an ambitious goal, committed to the planning and preparation, persevered through the hardships, and ultimately achieved success. The powerful strategies that contributed to this achievement, especially during the intense and at many times critical situations, can be applied to all projects.
