Are you striving to achieve something truly outrageous? Learn from someone who has been there and done that on Wednesday, March 10 @ 1 p.m. EST.
Scott Kress (BSc'93/HBOR'93) is a masterful storyteller, an author, a leadership and team-building expert, a former Executive MBA and EMBA Professor and life-long adventurer. Scott is the 51st Canadian to summit Mount Everest, and the 18th Canadian to climb the highest peak on each of the 7 continents.
In the pursuit of bigger and bigger goals, Scott and three partners skied unsupported from the coast of Antartica 960km to the South Pole; one of the most difficult and gruelling journeys on earth. Along with this achievement comes Scott's keynote, "Achieve the Outrageous". In this presentation, Scott will share the story of his punishing 44-day expedition across some of the most hostile ground on the planet and punctuate it with learning and application.
Scott's is high energy, passionate, engaging, and most importantly, aware of the challenges individuals face in reaching outrageous goals. Scott will incorporate polls and other virtual tools to keep the presentation captivating- you will feel like you are skiing to the South Pole with Scott and his team!
