Named One of the Best Training Programs in 2007 Climbing Mount Everest is hard. Climbing Mount Everest blind is ... impossible. Or at least that's what they told Erik Weihenmayer. This incredible true story follows Erik's quest to reach the summit of the tallest peak in the world - and the amazing team that made it possible. Erik Weihenmayer has never believed in limitations - even though he is blind. And he's good at questioning other people's perceptions of his abilities. That's why it was easy to ignore the ones who said he was crazy to pursue his dream of climbing Mount Everest. Erik knew that he couldn't do it alone. And here's the key - he never wanted to. He knew that his vision could only be achieved through the power of teamwork. Remarkable, yet unfathomable, Everest is essential for anyone who has ever worked on a team -- or is responsible for making teams strive to reach higher performance goals. Unlike any other training program, Erik's journey vividly illustrates the weight and significance of teamwork and leadership at a most crucial time. Team interviews and footage from the actual climb help viewers learn about:

Experience the phenomenon of Ben Zander, world-renowned conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, as he expressively teaches a new and improved style of leadership in the exciting video training program Leadership: an Art of Possibility. The new leaders job is to SPEAK POSSIBILITY. To speak possibility you do not need to be the top guy in the elegant suit. You can speak possibility from any position, in any group of people, anywhere in the world. This leader keeps a possibility alive until every person involved in the project is enrolled in it. As Ben often says, when you are conducting an orchestra it does not work to have just some of the players involved. A great performance arises out of everyone's passion. And a great performance stirs the soul, rearranges ones molecules, connects ones being to the being of others. This kind of leadership increases the resources of an institution immeasurably in terms of energy, flexibility, and speed of response to a fast-paced world. Key Learning Point:

Ben Zander, Conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra - Every Human being is brought into the world Radiating Possibility. The trick is to keep that song going. You know how when you are listening to music you love, or when you are dancing, the worries and apprehensions of the day melt away and you feel part of something larger than yourself? There is a reason for this. Music touches our emotions and reaches us on a visceral level. It quickens our pace, sets our feet tapping and calls us to dance. Music draws us into a universal experience where we feel connected to all human beings. This is called transformation. What if there was a way to step into that experience of aliveness and connection on an everyday basis? How powerful it might be to leave behind the anxiety and pressure that are part of the competitive mindset, and connect with others through their dreams and visions! Ben Zander, conductor of the Boston Philharmonic with his partner, executive coach and author Roz Zander, are world-renowned speakers and teachers of the practices of possibility. In this moving program, Ben and his wife Rosamund expressively coach employees to accelerate their pace of interaction, have courage in the face of fear, and enter the dance. Key Learning Points:

 It’s no secret that we live in a world full of negativity. It seems like everywhere we turn, we’re confronted by difficult, negative people, with their shaking heads, thumbs down, brush-offs, closed doors, and put-downs. Negativity surrounds us — in our workplaces, in our communities and places of worship, in government, in social settings, in schools, and even within our families. Dealing with negative individuals is one of the most common problems that people complain about. But that’s only half the story ... sometimes it’s our own negativity that stands between us and success. Our pessimistic thinking, apathy, and over-cautiousness can be bigger barriers than everyone else’s negativity combined! Some days we wonder, “Why bother?” Trying to find happiness and success in an endless landscape of negativity is just too hard, it often seems. Sound familiar? If so, we have good news for you: Help has arrived! Understanding the sources of negativity — both our own and others’ — is essential for people to work together effectively. This video-based training program is designed to help workshop participants develop skills for their own journeys in the Land of NO — overcoming others’ resistance, roadblocks, and rebuffs. The video provides simple, how-to instruction that's both practical and entertaining. It will help participants deal with negativity faster, more effectively, and with a lot less discouragement and despair.
