The story of Alan Hobson's life is a breathtaking portrait in passion, persistence and peak performance spanning four decades. He is not only an Everest climber, summiteer and cancer survivor, but an international bestselling author and inspirational figure who has appeared on many national television talk shows, including Oprah. His expeditions have required millions of dollars to finance, organize and execute, and they have stretched Alan's leadership, team-building, sales and communications skills even more than they have his physical self. Yet he has proven his ability to transform the apparently intangible benefits of high-stakes adventure into tangible results for his sponsors' and suppliers' bottom lines."Success is 97 percent preparation and three percent execution," he says. "If you want to climb Everest, you must first raise a mountain of money. Then you must undertake the organizational Everest. Only after these two mountains are climbed can you begin with the business of preparing to climb the physical mountain."
A former nine-time All-American gymnast, marathon runner, hang glider pilot, white water kayaker, cold water scuba diver, parachutist, journalist, and winner of the prestigious William Randolph Hearst Award for Excellence in News Writing, his next expedition is the one he is currently on – to continue his inspirational climb back from cancer and help as many others as possible do the same.
Using an exhaustive five-step preparatory research process, Alan makes powerful links between his experiences on three $1 million Everest expeditions and the inner and outer Everests you face every day individually and organizationally. The result is a one-of-a-kind, taylor-made program with unequaled personal and professional impact and applicability.

You are an absolute perfectionist and you commit to a speaking presentation the way you commit to an adventure. You do your homework, prepare thoroughly and execute passionately. In short, you reflect professionally what you have done personally.

What impressed me most was not only your fantastic story and your dynamic speaking ability, but when it was over, you didn't leave. You joined us at our booth, greeting our customers and you even came back the next morning to attend one of our associate's breakout sessions. You weren't just a great speaker. You played an active role in what we were trying to do at the conference.
