Sharon Wood teaches, entertains and inspires with her personal story about reaching the top of Mount Everest in good style.

Her premise is curiosity lends a boldness to step beyond our preconceived limitations and, through innovation and creativity, to realize new possibilities. She emphasizes the power of personal passion combined with perspective and willingness to thrive in environments of constant change and adversity to "stay the course".
