Blind Descent: Overcoming Adversity with Courage and Clarity
Renowned keynote speaker, author, and extreme adventurer Brian Dickinson shares the gripping story of his solo summit of Mount Everest - where he went snow-blind in the Death Zone and was forced to descend alone. Drawing on this extraordinary survival feat and his background as a U.S. Navy Aviation Rescue Swimmer, Brian delivers unforgettable lessons on leadership, resilience, and decision-making under pressure. His edge-of-your-seat presentation inspires audiences to push beyond limits, overcome adversity, and develop the mental toughness to lead with clarity when the path ahead is uncertain.
