Alison Levine

You can’t control the environment, only the way you react to it. Alison Levine makes a compelling case that the principles that lead to success in the world of extreme adventure also apply to everyday settings–in business and in life. Levine draws authentic parallels between the mountains and the uncontrollable environments that people deal with every day — at work, at home, and in their communities. Set against the backdrop of her remarkable expeditions, Levine’s presentations provide a framework to help people scale whatever big peaks they aspire to climb (be they literal or figurative) by offering practical, humorous, and often unorthodox advice about how to take risks, improve teamwork and deal with changing environments. Her breathtaking visuals and tales of survival will educate, entertain and inspire your audience to reach new heights.

Having served as the team captain of the first American Women’s Everest Expedition, Levine combines her knowledge of mountaineering with twenty years of business experience in order to deliver a customized, relevant message that focuses on the parallels between staying alive on the world’s most dangerous peaks and succeeding in a fast-paced business world. Her breathtaking visuals will take you on a journey to some of the world’s most extreme environments; where determination is every bit as important as skill when it comes to survival…and willpower is the most essential piece of equipment.
