Jeff Evans


About Jeff Evans :


Incorporating many stunning images and videos from his global adventures, Jeff recounts his role as the primary guide for a blind climber and then creating the systems of communication necessary to guide him successfully on mountains all over the world, culminating with the summit of Mt Everest. Just in the past year, Jeff served as the Expedition Leader for the groundbreaking Soldiers To The Summit Himalayan Expedition as well as appeared in ABC's new hit adventure series, Expedition Impossible.

 

During each of his seven keynote programs, Jeff draws on many of the metaphors hidden in the world of adventure and brings them to his audience in a humorously inspiring way. These messages are funny, potent and tactile; reminding his audiences that it is critical to focus on creating a powerful and selfless team, seek out opportunities to be a leader and disregard the expectations others create in order to achieve your own potential.

 

The MountainVision message is resonating now more than ever due to the economic challenges and uncertainty every industry is facing. Jeff brings the perspective of "the guide" to each of his keynote addresses. Companies and organizations are truly relating to the responsibilities of being a guide for their clients and customers during this storm. Jeff's program "Guiding Through the Storm" centers around guiding and leadership in this volatile period we are all facing. And if Leadership is what your group is looking to build on... Jeff is now able to facilitate the Franklin Covey Everest Leadership Program in an intense and powerful breakout session.

 

 

About Jeff Evans and MountainVision Presentations

 

Jeff has a unique perspective on the topics of Leadership, Teamwork and Commitment because he has lived them. Seventeen years ago he electively chose to be the primary guide for then unknown blind climber Erik Weihenmayer on mountains, rock faces and adventure races all over the world...even after many established guides had passed at the opportunity. Jeff worked with Erik on creating a climbing vision, establishing an acceptable definition of success and refining effective methods of communication, all innovative and challenging.

 

Jeff is a proud member of New York City's prestigious Explorers Club, the published author of MountainVision: Lessons Beyond the Summit, a practicing Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant and appears as one of the main characters in two different award-winning documentaries, Farther Than the Eye Can See, Blindsight and the soon to be released Soldiers To The Summit documentary.

Medical Teamwork at its Best
Jeff has the "insider" ability to address all medically related conferences and events from his 10 years as a practicing Emergency Room Physician Assistant. This is the ideal program for any event that is centered around medical industry professionals.

 The Ultimate Team Dynamic

This program is for the organization that has achieved success and/or reached their established goals and needs to keep the momentum in high gear.
 
Community and Generosity
This program makes a wonderful centerpiece for non-profits and civic groups that rely on community and sponsorship support.

The Playing Field Is Even
