Keynote Presentations: Talking the Walk
-
There have been times on expeditions to the world's highest mountains and remotest corners that I had to fight for my life. My work as facilitator and team builder has helped me draw parallels with the challenges of mountaineering and those of the corporate world, and it is these insights that I share in my presentations. Each of the presentations below outlines a particular message or learning, but I also put together customised presentations to meet a client's particular needs.

DEATH AND REDEMPTION ON MOUNT EVEREST
-
Inspiration permeates the story of Lincoln's unbelievable ordeal on Mount Everest. After being left for dead, alone in the open overnight at 28,000 feet, it seemed that death was indeed the only option. In those impossible circumstances, it was a synergistic mix of knowledge and experience gathered from thirty years of adventuring that kept him alive. Most powerful of these was Lincoln’s commitment to return to his family. This is a deeply human story of love, determination, and overcoming adversity, which, despite its extreme nature, resonates with the challenges everyday life.
This presentation lends itself to the themes of Achieving Goals, Commitment and Determination, Building Resilience, Overcoming Adversity, Teamwork, and Leadership Begins with You.

SURVIVING AVALANCHES AND OTHER SETBACKS IN LIFE AND BUSINESS
-
On a big mountain you can lose your life by taking one false step on a steep icy slope. You can be swallowed by a hidden crevasse, disappear in a blizzard, or die from exhaustion. Without knowing it, you can begin to die from extreme High Altitude Sickness or hypothermia. Fear highlights the biggest risks, but fear can also lead to panic and its deadly result. When you are faced with great threats in either business or on a mountain, the best asset you can have is a clear mind so that plans can be made and appropriate actions taken. In this presentation Lincoln explains the interconnectivity of risks and where your focus should lie. Clarity of mind is the beginning of survival.
This presentation lends itself to the themes of Managing Change, Overcoming Adversity, Strategic Planning, Teamwork, and Leadership

BREAKING BARRIERS
-
The psychological barriers were extreme when five Australians, Lincoln among them, pioneered a new route on Mount Everest without oxygen equipment. The barriers were no less extreme during his expedition to Mount Minto. A month of sailing to Antarctica, weeks of skiing inland to the mountain, and a month of sailing homewards in a disintegrating yacht, led to a paradigm shift revealing what a few mountaineers could achieve with their own resources in the world's coldest place. But the greatest psychological barriers Lincoln has faced were high on Everest in 2006, when he pushed through hallucinations to fight a solitary battle to survive a night in the open in without oxygen. Lincoln maintains that with the right skills and knowledge and an open mind you can make the impossible possible.
This presentation lends itself to the themes of The Power of Commitment, Setting and Achieving goals, Teamwork, and Leadership Begins with You.
