Everest
Run time: 14 Minutes
PDFErik Weihenmayer has never believed in limitations - even though he is blind. And he's good at questioning other people's perceptions of his abilities. That's why it was easy to ignore the ones who said he was crazy to pursue his dream of climbing Mount Everest. Erik knew that he couldn't do it alone. And here's the key - he never wanted to. He knew that his vision could only be achieved through the power of teamwork.
Remarkable, yet unfathomable,
Everest is essential for anyone who has ever worked on a team -- or is responsible for making teams strive to reach higher performance goals. Unlike any other training program, Erik's journey vividly illustrates the weight and significance of teamwork and leadership at a most crucial time.
Team interviews and footage from the actual climb help viewers learn about:
- Choosing the right people
- Keeping the goal in sight
- Banishing ego
- Understanding sacrifice
- Discovering your inner leader
- Finding joy in the success of others
- Overcoming immense setbacks
- Believing in the dream
Viewers see the amazing things that are possible when people work together as a cohesive team.

Praise for Everest:
"Stunningly filmed. Everest quietly tells a remarkable true story that gives new meaning to the word "vision". It should inspire teams and might even slip through the armor of hardcore cynics."

"I have used Everest in three MBA team building workshops. The students loved it, and the lessons from the film are having a positive impact on the working of their teams. A great video."

"I thought Everest had a powerful message. It is difficult for people to compare what they do to helping a blind person climb Mount Everest, although the video does bring out the points of Team Leadership well."
