Arguably the most powerful keynote of the event, Alison spoke of ambition, failure, never giving up, conquering the world’s highest peak (Everest) and how going backward can also mean progress. Humorous and deeply moving at the same time.

Alison Levine will help you realize that extraordinary challenges are extraordinary for a reason…An engaging page-turner… I found myself utterly charmed and productively consumed.

While the advice in On the Edge might seem counterintuitive… Levine lays out her case using her signature humor style and real world examples from leaders in sports and the military, and she uses her own experiences as a mountaineer to support her unorthodox recommendations. On the Edge will make you re-think leadership.
