Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

John Amatt, mountain climber, CEO, and author of the new book Straight to the Top and Beyond, is one of North America's most requested professional speakers and has delivered over 1,500 presentations to corporate and professional audiences of over 750,000 people in more than 35 countries worldwide. For more than 30 years, John has led expeditions to remote regions of Peru, Nepal, China, Greenland, and explored areas of Arctic Canada, making many first mountain ascents. At age 20, John made the first-ever ascent of the 5,000-foot Vertical Mile Troll Wall in Norway. Some years later, following his participation in Canada's 1st successful expedition to the summit of Mount Everest, the world's tallest mountain, John founded One Step Beyond WorldWide, an innovative educational and motivational company dedicated to teamwork development and pursuit of personal peak performance in work and play. John uses the metaphor of adventure to present strategies for addressing the challenges of our rapidly-changing world. To succeed, we must learn to become risk-takers, to become visionary and adventurous in dealing with the new social, political, and economic environments in which we be forced to live.
