Description
What does it take to build the kind of trust, teamwork and resilience needed to reach the top of the world?
At this year's FILA Fall Summit, we'll hear from Eric Alexander, a renowned mountaineer and adventurer whose incredible experiences redefine what's possible when people work together.
Eric defied the odds when he helped guide his blind friend, Erik Weihenmayer, to the summit of Mount Everest. He has climbed the highest point on six of the seven continents, survived a 150-foot fall while climbing in the Himalayas, and continues to help others overcome barriers through adventure.
Through stories from Everest and expeditions around the world, Eric will share powerful lessons on:
- Building trust when the stakes are high
- Creating teams that rely on and support one another
- Overcoming obstacles and setbacks
- Setting ambitious goals — and finding a way forward
- Helping others reach heights they may not have thought possible
This is one keynote you won't want to miss.
