Davidson’s first attempt to climb Mount Everest ended suddenly when a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal. This spawned massive avalanches and aftershocks that trapped Davidson’s team high on the mountain. It became the deadliest day ever on Mount Everest. Davidson returned in 2017 to try again. Along the way, his team had to endure eleven stormy days pinned in their tents, uncertain if they were going to be able to summit. Finally, conditions cleared and after persevering through the uncertainty, Davidson and his team reached their goal.
From these intense experiences, Davidson shares critical lessons for facing today’s uncertain times. He will share practical tips about:
• Building a resilient mindset for facing change, challenge & uncertainty • Attitudes and actions to take before, during, and after big storms • When to rely on passive perseverance vs. active perseverance
In 2015, Davidson set out to achieve a goal he spent 33 years building up to—summiting Mt. Everest. Little did he know he would find himself trapped by avalanches at 20,000 feet on the deadliest day the mountain has ever seen.
Nepal’s largest earthquake in 81 years shook Everest with a magnitude of 7.8 creating aftershocks and avalanches. Sadly, 18 lives were lost in base camp, while Davidson and his fellow climbers were trapped up on the mountain. By enduring this disaster, Davidson learned hard-won lessons about facing uncertainty and deepened his understanding of resilience. His intense experiences clarified the importance of embracing change to overcome challenges. Two years after the deadliest day on Everest, Davidson returned and achieved his goal of reaching the summit.
Through gripping stories of his moments on the mountain to the lessons that enabled him to reach such challenging goals, Davidson will inspire your team to be ready and resilient for the next Everest in their lives.
