The way to Everest Base Camp through Nepal and Tibet: The team gets introduced, and acclimatized between Hindu temples, Buddhistic stupas, prayer flags and the view of the mighty 8000m peaks around. Accompanied by enthralling pictures and music of the Hindu and Buddhistic cultures.

The two Base Camps: On the one hand it is time for mental preparation on how to cope with the hostile high altitude environment, on the other hand one has to stay focused and not get distracted by camp twitter and teammates. It is the time of acclimatization walks and time to learn about the strength and weaknesses of each team member. The expedition leader now has the chance to fine-tune his summit push strategy.
In this part of the presentation, discussions about teamwork and team strategies play a major part, accompanied by amazing pictures of the camps and the incredible ice towers between Base and Advanced Base Camp.

The climb to the High Camps: The high camps are the first real tests of fitness and mental preparation. Moments of truth arise: Who needs help? Who is able and mentally strong enough to help? And who has to turn back?
In this part, incredible pictures and the feeling of the fast beating heart and the lungs grasping for air spellbind the audience.

The summit day is decision day.
This part includes critical moments between life and death, hallucinations and moments of truth on the way to the top of the world.

Q&A session: Realization of stretched targets; self-motivation and motivation of a team are typical topics. Leadership and teambuilding are discussed in detail:

   a. Motivation: What drives a person to keep going – up to 8850m?       
       What drives an executive to reach his annual objective?
   b. Team building: What is the logical basis of a successful team?
   c. Limits: How do you know and respect your limit?
   d. Conflict of interest: Frequently, climbers do not turn around although
       the weather is bad, they are too late or they cannot even walk straight
       anymore. Those people are deliberately risking their lives and the lives
       of their sherpas to get the “merits of the summit.”
       The discussion about the obligation to help over 8000m is a sensitive
       and multifaceted topic similar to conflict of interest debates in business.

Evaluation:  When a mountaineer turns around 100m below summit because of bad weather - did he fail?  A sales professional reaching his objectives by windfall profits - has he succeeded?

If you can dream it, you can do it!
