Journalist says about John Amatt:
"John Amatt is a modern adventurer who can not only
spin a great yarn, but who possesses the rare knack of turning his journeys into
universal revelations that guide his readers and listeners on how to survive and
prosper in the global village."
"The Key to Success is
Preparation"
"John Amatt knows
about tough times and the value of struggle in bringing out the best in teams of
people! After all, he was a leader of an Everest team, which suffered four
tragic deaths in two unpredictable accidents before putting six climbers on top
of the world. His experience on Everest taught him about the danger of falling
into the trap of complacency and the importance of always questioning the status
quo in seeking new ways of succeeding in a rapidly changing world.
He is the perfect speaker
to assist your team in navigating through the turmoil of today’s global
economic crisis."
John Amatt is unusual amongst Inspirational Speakers in that he did not reach the summit of Mt.
Everest on his celebrated expedition. Instead, he was a leader of a dedicated team that suffered four
tragic deaths in two unpredictable accidents before placing six climbers on the peak.
John’s mission in going to Everest was to place the first Canadian on top of the world’s highest
peak. In his own words … “It didn’t matter who reached the summit, because we believed when one person
stood on the highest point, the whole team had climbed the mountain. I was totally fulfilled the day
we reached the top and I would never go back to Everest, because I was proud to have played a crucial
role in the achievement”.
This is a key business message in today’s challenging corporate
environment.
