Lead Like an Explorer
Business Lessons from the Wild to Build Bolder, Better Ventures
TAKE THE JOURNEY
We’ve taken the the 8 most searched for challenges that entrepreneurs face and aligned them with key phases in expedition leadership. From the complex to the straightforward (yet hidden), the philosophical to the push-forward-and-face-the-damn-elements.
By merging hard-earned lessons from exploration with winning business strategies, we strive to provide next-level direction and insights for your journey.
Dig In:
1. Self-Assessment, Preparation, and Goal Setting
Like any expedition, the first step in overcoming challenges is understanding where you are and where you need to go. This section will help you set your starting point, leverage motivation, maximize resources, and set a clear destination.
2. Assembling and Cultivating Resilient Teams
Just as no explorer truly embarks on a journey alone, entrepreneurs and business leaders need the right team to succeed. Here you’ll find key insights on team building and leadership to handle both routine tasks and crises.
3. Ultimate Adaptability and Problem-Solving Skills
No matter your destination, the path is never straight. In this section, you'll learn to embrace uncertainty, reframe problems, and anticipate potential challenges so that you’re prepared with responses.
4. Resilience and the Explorer’s Mindset
Challenges are inevitable, and resilience is the key to overcoming them. Resilience is built through consistent practice. Business leaders must develop mental toughness, as well as tools to manage stress, to withstand crises without breaking.
5. Bold Decision Making and Innovation
Boldness wins in both exploration and business, and indecision can be fatal. We’ll teach you the ins and outs of decision making in high-stakes scenarios, to balance data with intuition, and how to encourage a culture of risk-taking and innovation, where failure is seen as part of the learning process.
6. Reaching the Summit (and the Directional Debrief)
Reflection builds long-term success. You’ll learn how to debrief like explorers after an expedition, and evaluate successes and failures. Here you’ll learn how to conduct debriefs after key projects or challenges so that you’re consistently improving.
Bonus: Inspiration / Continuous Growth and Learning
Successful leaders focus on building a culture of learning and development, both for themselves and their teams. In this extra section, you’ll see how investing in ongoing professional development and consistently adopting new skills and technologies will not only strengthen your professional skills but enrich your life.
