The wall doesn’t care about your title.
It asks the same thing of everyone:
Under pressure, who are you as a leader?
In this AI era, how we interact and work together matters more than ever.
Managing agents is a lot easier than leading other humans.
While both perform better with clear expectations and guidance,
humans, unlike agents, have emotions and require reciprocal trust.
Learning to climb with a partner shines a light on the most critical and challenging things about being a human in today’s workplace.
In partnership with First Ascent Climbing & Fitness, this development experience is designed for leaders and their teams who want to improve how they work together and have a great impact together.
