• Peak Teams Everest - A Dynamic and Inspiring Workshop for Leaders and Teams

  Peak Teams' Everest uses the backdrop of the Himalayas and the changing world of climbing in a dynamic program that helps leading businesses:

  • Launch a compelling vision
  • Align and engage multiple teams behind a common goal
  • Create a strong culture of shared principles and behaviors
  • Enhance existing leadership frameworks and talent programs
  • Increase leadership capabilities

  Everest is one of Peak Teams' interactive Virtual Adventures. During a Virtual Adventure, business teams are challenged with real life scenarios that Peak Teams facilitators have filmed while climbing mountains, on safari in Africa or surfing around the world. These scenarios, combined with spectacular footage, personal stories and expert facilitation, provide powerful learning experiences.

  Everest features a video-based chronology of events as they unfolded for Peak Teams facilitator and keynote speaker Rex Pemberton, on his climb of Everest in 2005.

  How the Program Works:
  The primary objective of Everest is for multiple teams to come together as one expedition, in order to reach the summit of the world's highest peak and return safely. There are three main parts of the program: Set Up, Base Camp and Summit.

  During the Set Up stage each team has to establish a set of Guiding Principles, appoint a leader and agree on a decision making process. Then the entire room has to align and agree on a Guiding Company they will join for their expedition to Everest.

  In the Base Camp and Summit stages, these principles and team alignment are tested by a series of video based scenarios that will challenge and ultimately unite all the teams.
