This past summer, Andrea challenged herself to face one of her deepest fears—a fear of heights—by setting out on heli-hiking adventure to climb the via ferrata course up Mt. Nimbus near Golden, BC. Before the climb, she put in some very specific groundwork to tap into her subconscious and make sure she was as mentally                                                                                            prepared as she could be.
 
In this session, Andrea will reflect on her triumphant climb and on what she learned from it that transfers seamlessly to other areas of her life, including her PR work. Sharing lessons about confidence, teamwork, facing fears, proactively making decisions for yourself and more, Andrea will tell the story of the biggest adventure of her life and how it’s changed her as a person and a leader. She may even inspire you to seek out an adventure of your own.
