“Leading At 90° Below Zero: Keeping Great Employees Focused, Fired Up and Engaged”
 
About our Speaker: In January 2006, Mike became one of nine people to have run a marathon on the Antarctic continent; 11 months later he returned to Antarctica to become the first American to complete the Antarctic Ultra Marathon, a grueling 100km (62.1 miles). Since then Mike has completed many other winter marathons in the coldest and harshest climates on earth. His stories have been featured on CNN, Sports Illustrated, Fox, ABC, CBS Early Show, ESPN, and many other national and international sources.

OK, you're thinking: WHY? Surprisingly, it has very little to do with cold weather or sports. Rather, it's about the disciplines necessary to be successful in difficult situations. Leaders today face the same challenges as those who first conquered Antarctica. The question is this: Are we ready?

Mike holds his B.A. from the University of Colorado, Boulder in Marketing and resides in Encinitas, CA with his wife Angela.

About the Presentation:  Leading at 90 Below Zero is all about one thing: Making sure that leaders understand how to help their teams be ready to face any conditions and still thrive. Mike will illustrate from Polar history stories the importance of showcasing your companies opportunity, increasing your ability to get the best people for the job, how to lead them effectively, and conditioning and rewarding them so that they have the ability and desire to complete the expedition. You and your team can expect to walk away with:

• Learn how to make objective decisions when under pressure based on facts
• ​Understanding key issues to build trust, camaraderie and strong working relationships
• Build solid teams of people who are fully committed to the tasks on hand
