In this captivating multi-media presentation, Laurie Skreslet describes the teamwork and organization that go into reaching the summit of Mt. Everest. He also underscores the value of giving your personal best and controlling your fear of failure.
According to Laurie Skreslet, one of the barriers to achieving anything difficult is the fear of the unknown, that irritating psychological fear that can limit our activity to that which we have done before. Because of our need for security, and our fear of leaving behind the structures with which we are familiar, we can become captive to the safety that security offers. We then run the risk of limiting our growth, or failing to reach that rich potential of which we are all capable. In the positive response to challenge, we can break those barriers, says Skreslet.
At a time when business and industry are searching for a means to improve productivity, it is evident that the motivation of our human resources is critical. Laurie Skreslet’s presentation conveys clearly how personal commitment, teamwork, preparation, planning and dedication to excellence, were the keys to success on Mount Everest.
During Laurie’s presentation your organization will learn the following:
• the value of teamwork and organization required in any challenging endeavor
• the importance of giving your personal best and controlling your fear of failure
• the limits you think you can not go beyond are mostly self-imposed
• achievement is not a matter of luck or destiny but a philosophy and a process that can be applied to any situation
• mental preparation is required to maximize performance and to realize potential
• a willingness to try is often the most important ingredient to success
