Kenton Cool

Having summited Mount Everest on 20 occasions and conquered mountains in some of the harshest, most dangerous environments all over the world, Kenton is one of the world’s most sought-after mountain guides.

Known as ‘The Everest Leader’, he is the one calling the shots, making time and safety-critical decisions that others are unwilling, or unable, to make, while survival is the ultimate goal.

In his inspirational talks, Kenton shares his experiences to encourage teams and organisations to move beyond their perceived ‘tolerance level’ in a professional environment where the goal might be streamlined productivity, results-driven collaboration or elevated commercial success rates.

For Kenton, the setting of a mountain or an office is simply the context, success comes from ‘flawless execution’. Outlining how he leads a summit expedition, Kenton shares his what he has learned about critical success factors such as:

• Surviving and thriving in adversity
• Developing mental strength & resilience
• Clarity of mind – thinking creatively and with confidence
• Decision-making under pressure
• the principles of peak performance
• building teams & a conquering culture
• solution-based leadership
