What Can You Learn From an MBA Professor Who Climbed Mount Everest? A LOT!!!

Summiting Mount Everest is a notable accomplishment at any time. But in May of 2008, an Olympics in China brought military blockades, arrests, deportations and chaos to Everest. Scott Kress witnessed firsthand how teamwork, the ability to embrace change and leadership were critical in overcoming unexpected obstacles.

Scott’s gripping presentation will show you how and why he became the 51st Canadian to summit Mount Everest, and how the skills that his team excelled at are essential in finding success in business.

Scott Kress is the president of a highly successful training organization; he has a Masters degree in Leadership, and is one of the top leadership and team facilitators in North America. Scott is also an MBA Professor for the University of Windsor Odette School of Business and has been voted Professor of the Year two years in a row. And while his accomplishments in business and leadership development are significant, Scott is also at home in the mountains.

As a climber and guide for over 20 years, Scott has summated peaks throughout the world. He is now almost finished climbing the “7 Summits”; the highest peak on each of the 7 continents. Only a hand-full of Canadians have accomplished this to date.

Through his inspiring story of triumph, challenge, determination, and sometimes failure, Scott shows audiences that we are all climbers looking to summit our own mountains. By rising to the challenge of change and continuous improvement, he demonstrates how the lessons learned in the mountains are directly applicable to any organization’s challenges.
Scott’s high-energy presentation will immediately get the attention of your audience and keep it.

Scott educates, entertains, and motivates while imparting wisdom critical to achieving success. Most importantly, your audience will leave with a better understanding of what it takes to reach the summits in their own personal and professional lives.
