Why Rock Climbing?
Climbing has long been acknowledged as a metaphor for achievement and success, but many don't realize that the sport of climbing provides some of the best individual leadership training available. In the sport of climbing 'the leader' is the one who goes up first, who stretches and risks, who finds the way, who holds it together while guiding others to the top.
The lead climber risks more, needs more skill, resourcefulness, strength and perseverance as the other members of the climbing team depend upon him. Being the lead climber is also known as being on 'THE LEADING EDGE'.
The Leading Edge is all about helping you stretch to be more.
Climbers know about the experience of becoming 'the expanded man' when they reach the top of a challenging climb, and how each climb achieved becomes the new measure of what one is capable of.
Many leadership programs work with metaphorical symbolism and theoretical models. The Leading Edge uses actual climbing experiences and applies leadership development to your real work situation, goals and aspirations.
This personal leadership development process is about discovering and developing your own strength as a leader, applying best business practices to your business and professional situation so you achieve your goals and succeed by becoming more effective in your entire sphere of influence and relationships.
The Leading Edge is about making you the leader others want to follow - and supporting you while insuring that you generate results. Although this program would not be as effective without it's personal development and climbing aspects, make no mistake. This is a professional executive development experience, all facilitated in a one on one leadership coaching process.
