When the world watched her fail on Mount Everest, Alison Levine could have walked away forever. Instead, she climbed back stronger. In this powerful conversation, Tara Renze sits down with the history-making polar explorer and mountaineer to talk about leadership under pressure, courage in failure, and finding purpose when your plans fall apart.
Alison Levine is a history-making adventurer, mountaineer, and leadership expert. She served as team captain of the first American Women’s Everest Expedition, climbed the highest peak on each continent, and skied to both the North and South Poles — completing the rare Adventure Grand Slam. A three-time heart-surgery survivor living with Raynaud’s disease, Alison has thrived in conditions that would sideline most people. A former adjunct professor at West Point, she now teaches leadership through the Thayer Leadership Group and speaks globally to Fortune 500 companies, sports teams, and the World Economic Forum. Her New York Times bestseller On the Edge: Leadership Lessons from Mount Everest and Other Extreme Environments reveals how her time in Earth’s harshest places shaped her philosophy on risk, resilience, and leading with grit. https://alisonlevine.com/
