World-class rock climber Todd Skinner is also one of today's most sought-after motivational speakers for business audiences. Whenever he describes his history-making sixty-day free climb of the 20,500-foot Trango Tower in the Karakoram Himalayas (shown on the jacket), people are in awe of his stamina, skill, ambition, and determination. They are also eager to apply his lessons in their professional and personal lives. Skinner argues that everyone has a mountain to climb, whether it's meeting your annual sales target or launching a new product or getting your department to improve its teamwork. And he stresses that you should set your goals even higher than you normally would, and constantly look beyond the current summit to the next one. For instance, instead of aiming for 10 percent revenue growth, go after a seemingly impossible 50 percent target, and then think of new ways to get there. In both rock climbing and business, you must define your exact mission, assemble the right team, make the critical transition from preparation to action, have courage when crossing difficult terrain, and weather the storms well. Skinner offers fresh insights into all of these topics and explains principles such as: how you think is more important than what you know pick teammates for what they will do, not what they have already done make decisions in answer to the mountain fall toward the summit see each challenge as part of a bigger picture, your lifelong ascent Beyond the Summit presents fresh and inspiring advice on leadership, teamwork, and decision-making skills, combined with an epic adventure tale.

“…a rich resource of gems blended with stories, illustrations, quotes, and life-changing insights.” — Janet Perez Eckles, International Speaker and Author On the canvas of life, we each paint our own destiny. How we paint it depends on our approach to life. If our approach is far-reaching and visionary, our life will be far-reaching and visionary. The most meaningful way to live is to continually reach beyond where we are for the greater fulfillment of what we can become. We each have within us all the “seeds” we need for personal growth and development. There is no reason to look to external factors, or anywhere else. New knowledge, new skills, new ways of looking at things are lying deep in our consciousness awaiting positive nourishment. When we truly embrace this thought, we are always in a state of renewal. So, long as we have a fresh eye for new perceptions and new awakenings, the natural tendency to reach beyond is ever present. Reach Beyond and Find Your Path To Success is a resource book. It is designed to help one look forward to a horizon filled with possibilities. It is full of ideas geared to help one understand the power within and how to harness that power to build a better tomorrow. It waters the wholesome qualities within that are just waiting to be awakened. Those watered are the ones that sprout, make their way into awareness, and manifest outwardly. We don’t grow old. When we stop growing, we become old. Accepting change and welcoming the unknown, is to recognize the authentic realism of reaching beyond. Answer the highest calling of your heart, establish your foothold and reach beyond your grasp. Let Reach Beyond ignite your spirit and the power that is generated through its everlasting words be your guide.

"I'm someone who will push you beyond all reasonable limits. Someone who will ask you not to just fulfill your potential but to exceed it. Someone who will expect more from you than you may believe you are capable of. So if you aren't ready to go to work, shut this book." --Pat Summitt Pat Summitt, head coach of the University of Tennessee Lady Vols, was a phenomenon in women's basketball. Her ferociously competitive teams won the NCAA championship in 1996 and 1997 and made her the winningest coach in NCAA Division 1 women's history. Summitt wrote the first motivational book by a high-achieving female coach. In Reach for the Summit, she presented her formula for success, which she called the "Definite Dozen System." In each of the book's twelve chapters, Summitt talked about one of the system's principles--such as responsibility, discipline, and loyalty--and showed how to apply it to your own situation. Pat Summitt used her own remarkable story as a vehicle for explaining how anyone can transform herself through ambition. Through many amusing anecdotes and a few very painful memories, she revealed her mistakes and triumphs as a beginning basketball player, as an Olympic athlete, as a Division 1 coach, and as a mother. Although Summitt was not born to the easy life--she was born into a hard-working farm family in a remote corner of Tennessee--she became one of the most successful and highest-paid coaches in the country. She candidly talked about how she turned her losses into wins and then showed how you can do the same. Wonderfully entertaining and brilliantly instructive, Reach for the Summit discloses the winning secret to building a principled system and making it to the top at whatever you do. Pat Summitt's story will motivate you to achieve in sports, business, and the most important game of all--life.
Inspirational life story of personal growth and achievement by the first North American woman to reach the summit of Mount EverestIn 1986, Sharon Wood was part of a self-supported Canadian team with big ambitions: they were attempting to reach the summit of Everest via a variation on the dangerous West Ridge. And they intended that Wood would be the first North American woman to reach the summit. At the same time, however, there was an American team on the mountain with a plan to make Annie Whitehouse the first North American woman. The American climbers were attempting an easier route, but their team included, by coincidence, Wood's ex-boyfriend, acclaimed mountaineer Carlos Buhler, now dating Whitehouse - certainly the makings of an exciting adventure and high-altitude drama!But Wood's new memoir offers much more. Fast-paced and highly readable, Rising is a thoughtful literary story redolent with twists and turns, relatable characters and dialogue, and mental and emotional conflicts. Although Everest casts a long shadow, the mountain serves here as a stage for a more humane story, not one of conquest.
