Ceara Metcalf, director of project management, Sage, introduced the sponsored motivational speaker.
Alison is a leadership expert, polar explorer and mountaineer who is no stranger to extreme environments. She has survived sub-zero temperatures, hurricane-force winds, sudden avalanches…and a career on Wall Street. Alison has climbed the highest peak on every continent, served as the team captain of the first American Women’s Everest Expedition, and skied across the Arctic Circle to the geographic North Pole.
She delivers resounding leadership messages that transcend her extreme climbing expeditions, drawing relevant authentic parallels between mountaineering and business.
Alison’s session was downright inspirational, highly motivational, utterly relevant, full of messaging, and fun. There were many wonderful and memorable images, including one of Everest casting a vast triangular shadow.
Unforgettable remarks and quotes in Alison’s session include: “Sometimes you look up at a mountain and think ‘I can’t!’ – and then you climb anyway”, and “Backing up is not the same as backing down.”
