The dark days of winter are upon us. Though we’ve passed the Winter Solstice (which means the days are technically getting longer) it’s still far too cold and far too dark for our liking. The limited sun can make anyone blue, a feeling only exasperated by the after-Christmas and after-after Christmas sales. If your team is in a rut because of low sales and poor weather, don’t just look forward through the calendar and wish for spring. Take a proactive approach and hire a motivational speaker.
It’s no failing of your team or company to require some encouraging words. Sometimes, even the most creative, hardworking, and successful people can a hit a plateau, finding it difficult to carry out their tasks with the same enthusiasm they once did. But this doesn’t have to be a permanent condition. Just as ideas and passion can ebb during particularly trying times, so too can they flow. Your office just needs a little inspiration to rid themselves of winter-born lethargy and embrace productivity.
Who better to inspire and motivate staff through their winter blues than Stacy Allison, the first American woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest? At 29,028 feet, Mt. Everest is the world’s tallest mountain and home to severe weather patterns that can pose dangerous challenges to even the most advanced climber. For Stacy, her victory over the mountain didn’t happen overnight – or even on her first attempt. But after 29 deliberate and dedicated days, she managed to conquer one of the most difficult summits to climb.
She attribute hers success to perseverance, team work, and risk-taking, three simple yet significant qualities that unite both the adventure climber and the office worker; and she uses her experiences on Everest to help drive that point home. With the exhilarating adventure that was her climb as her backdrop, Stacy weaves a colourful story and talks about how these modest characteristics are the key to unlocking success – on the mountain or in the office. Leading by example, she shares takeaways regarding the importance of collaboration in pushing through periods of stagnation and take advantage of opportunities.
