Motivational Speaker: Jeff Evans

Jeff Evans- Adventurer, climber, Physician Assistant and public speaker… Jeff has spent over half of his life traveling the continents in search of adventure. From guiding the Duchess of York on a rock climb to leading a blind man to the summit of Mt Everest, Denali, and El Capitan, Jeff has sought out challenges that require intense preparation, teamwork and commitment. Jeff colorfully translates the lessons he has learned from his adventures into applicable themes we can use in our daily professional and private lives. He draws on many of the metaphors hidden in the world of adventure and brings them to his audience in a humorously inspiring way.

Jeff Evans has been seeking out the most unique challenges in the world of adventure for over a decade.  Whether hanging from a helicopter rescuing climbers in need, guiding the Duchess of York up a rock face, leading top executives on mountains around the world or guiding a blind man to the summit of Mt Everest, Jeff has planned out and executed many projects that on first glimpse seem quite unlikely to be successful.  However, Jeff has achieved success on every level and is now able to bring his themes to the corporate world where these concepts have proven to be applicable time and again.

In order to face these challenges, Jeff has had to construct an attitude of success which includes an algorithm based on foresight, preparation, physical strength,  mental fortitude and perseverance.  Jeff relates this approach to his audiences while weaving a web of stories from his world of adventure.

One of Jeff's most recent projects was one of his most ambitious that combined all of the same elements used in the successful Everest Expedition of 2001.  Primal Quest is a 450 mile adventure race requiring a team to be efficient at disciplines such as mountain biking, climbing, rappelling, white water paddling and mountain trekking.  Once again Jeff teamed up with his blind Everest teammate Erik Weihenmayer in an attempt to become the first team with a disabled athlete to complete such an arduous race.  A year of preparation and training went into this project and after 10 days of pain and perseverance, Team No Boundaries crossed the finish line to make history.  Jeff and his team's story aired on CBS last January in a special broadcast of the Primal Quest race.

Whether he is addressing a conference room of corporate executives or an auditorium of high school students, Jeff touches on themes such as leadership, teamwork, goal setting, and motivation.  He 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 potent and tactile; reminding his audiences that it is critical to focus on detail, embrace small successes, and disregard the expectations others create in order to achieve your own potential.

Jeff's exploits have been featured on The Today show, CNN Live, Nightline, ESPN and Good Morning America...and in such publications as Time, Outside, Sports Illustrated, Climbing and Trail Runner Magazines.
