The ability to develop and lead high achieving teams that produce exceptional results is an increasingly important skill in today's global environment. This powerful learning program has been developed as an adventure in purposeful behavior change that provides you with the motivation and tools to better understand, develop and use your assets as an individual, team player and leader within your work, community and home. The program is built around Tom Whittaker's 1998 ascent of Everest. Tom was the first disabled person to reach the summit, which he achieved by organizing and leading his own expedition and has since gone on to conquer the six highest summits on six continents and is committed to becoming the first amputee to reach the highest summits of all seven continents.
When they say it can't be done, Tom shows how it can. In this program he shares his insights and experiences as part of an experiential online program. The ascent of Everest provides a metaphor for the course. Each module represents a step in the ascent from your home base to the summit of Everest itself. The essential skills, abilities and awareness that are needed to work in high achieving teams in businesses and organizations are just the same as those that are needed to be successful in reaching the summit of Everest. The goal of climbing Everest can only be achieved by effective leadership and team working. Tom Whittaker takes you on a journey to discover your own potential as you climb the mountain with him and learn how to realize your own dreams in work, community or home.
Upon registering, you are given an initial six months to complete the program. Should you need more time, you may request a 6-month extension at no additional charge.
