What can today’s leaders learn from the courage, resilience, and adaptability of history’s greatest adventurers?
In this episode of Strategy, Leadership and Impact, I dive into the leadership lessons of Ernest Shackleton, Sir Edmund Hillary, Tenzing Norgay, Douglas Mawson, and others who braved the most extreme conditions on Earth.
From surviving nearly two years trapped in Antarctic ice to summiting the world’s highest peaks, these leaders faced uncertainty, scarcity, and danger—but still inspired trust, unity, and extraordinary achievement.
You’ll learn:
✅ How to lead when the plan collapses
✅ Why purpose is the fuel that sustains teams under pressure
✅ The critical role of emotional intelligence in high-stakes situations
✅ How adaptability turns crisis into opportunity
✅ Timeless lessons that apply from the polar ice to the boardroom
Whether you’re leading a business, a project team, or your own life through change, this episode will equip you with proven strategies to lead with vision, resilience, and heart.
