OUR STORY
The story begins with a devastating tragedy. Four people die in the first four days of arriving at the mountain. The team is in ruins and the expedition leader resorts to a military style of command and control. TeamEverest is the story of how a group of individuals become a team and turn a tragedy into one of the most inspiring and record-breaking accents in the annals of climbing lore.
EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION
Licensed facilitators of TeamEverest can utilize the structured experiential learning activities as well as the metaphor to engage learners and client groups cognitively and emotionally. By entering this true-to-life story participants explore specific learning themes without ever leaving the classroom, ballroom or boardroom.
NARRATIVE LEARNING
ENVIRONMENTS (NLEs)

We are honing the craft of using narrative environments to assist you in surpassing your explicit learning objectives and contributing to engagement and meaning-making by participants. TeamEverest has been designed to immerse participants in this true-to-life adventure and inspire them to reach both personal and organizational summits.
THE EXPERIENCE
Four years later... the team returns to the mountain, pioneering a new style of leadership, determined to climb a new route and to support the first North American woman to reach the summit of Everest. All without risking the lives of the indigenous Sherpas of the region. Its bold, its visionary but can it be done?
Step by step we go on the adventure together, gaining the skills & inspiration we need to become a better team and reach our personal and organizational goals.
That's just the beginning, read more to discover how we combine this story with experiential learning.
THEMED ACTIVITIES
"From the moment you walked in the door you got a sense of the journey you were about to go on, right through until you left, you really felt like you were making a journey. Walking into the room and hearing the sound of wind flapping against the tent, seeing a real base camp set up, the giant screen images, the lanterns on the table and the Pringles. It was a complete experience and it didn't end when the lights went up and the doors opened at the end of the event. It brought our relationships to a different level afterwards".
Michelle Alosinac, Ontario Heritage Foundation, Past President Ontario Chapter of MPI
High
Satisfaction
Ratings
“Without question the best conference we have ever had! The feedback I've got from our whole team, which just finished TeamEverest was outstanding [4.65 out of 5]. People loved it, they had a good time doing it and the interactions were very passionate. Most importantly it integrated with what we wanted to achieve in terms of our business objectives. We've used many suppliers in the past, but they have never met our objectives as well as TeamEverest has.”
Bob MacDonald, President - Bell Helicopter
Right from the beginning everyone saw the analogy of the Everest experience in his or her business and personal life. I was transfixed watching 100 people becoming so unusually attentive and introspective and at the same time so engaged. I never imagined that the TeamEverest experience would be this powerful.
Our survey of the TeamEverest session got very high satisfaction ratings [4.75 out of 5]. This is a product that continues to make a difference to our organization. I unreservedly recommend it to you.”
