Journey to Everest: The Unsung Heroes of Servant Leadership
Celebrate and Inspire Hardworking Human Service Professionals

Peter inspires unsung heroes in the human services by getting to the bottom of an unforgettable journey to the Himalayan Mountains of Nepal. He didn't make it to the top of the roof of the world. The truth of life is that not everyone makes it to the pinnacle of the world’s greatest mountain or becomes the boss of a great organization. This is the story about the rest of us, the hardworking professionals behind the scenes who succeed when others succeed. Even those who achieve great heights like Sir Edmund Hillary have their team of nameless unsung heroes (350 Sherpa porters helped him be the first to the summit!). This presentation honors those dedicated people who trust that in some small way we can make a bigger difference together by supporting people through the ups and downs of their “everyday Everest” challenges. This presentation is a celebration of life’s journey and those health professionals who dedicate their time and talent in the service of others whether for a reason, a season or a lifetime.T

Ideal Audience: Highly sought after topic as conference closing keynote for its renewed call to go forth and serve with joy. Appreciated by hardworking health professionals at all levels who believe in making a difference through compassionate patient care and effective service delivery. This speech concludes with a heartwarming and uplifting closing slide show featuring conference delegates as unsung heroes.

"Peter delivered "Journey to Mount Everest: The Unsung Heroes of Servant Leadership" as a closing keynote at our conference recently. He took the audience through a beautiful journey...they reflected, they laughed, they got goosebumps, they cried. But most importantly, they left feeling great about the contributions they make in this world, and they took with them a gift to "pay forward" to other unsung heroes! What a delightful way to end a great conference!

"Peter delivered his keynote speech "Journey to Mount Everest" and tied it into our conference theme "Navigating the Tides" a conference for workers in the pension and benefits industry.  His unique blend of humility and passion was shown throughout his power point presentation. The presentation included photos Peter had taken of our delegates during the conference as well as photos from his journey to Mount Everest. His speech was uplifting as well as inspiring and the theme "unsung heroes of servant leadership" very well presented how we are all heroes in the work we do and that we are an inspiration to those we serve.  Bravo Peter!"
