Adventurer. Explorer. Mountaineer. Bestselling author. Leadership advisor. Filmmaker. Storyteller. Boundary-breaker. Game-changer. Alison Levine is no stranger to extreme environments. She has survived sub-zero temperatures, hurricane force winds, sudden avalanches...and a career on Wall Street. Alison served as team captain of the first American Women's Everest Expedition, climbed the highest peak on each continent, and skied to the North and South Poles—a feat known as the Adventure Grand Slam, which fewer than forty people in the world have achieved. Alison believes that leadership is everyone’s responsibility, not only to help move forward with the mission, but also to look out for the people on either side of you and help them move in the right direction as well. With stunning imagery from her various expeditions, Alison will deliver a resounding leadership message on how progress can be made going backward, why egos are a good thing, how complacency can kill you, and how to make crucial decisions on the spot when the conditions around you are far from perfect.
