What does it take to reach new heights in today’s ever-changing world?
This unforgettable keynote empowers individuals and organizations to conquer their own “Everests” – one deliberate step at a time. Through breathtaking visuals and gripping stories from his family’s record-setting climb of Mount Everest, Alan Mallory shares practical strategies for navigating change, staying focused under pressure, and achieving bold goals. Facing crevasses, blizzards, and life-threatening conditions, their two-month self-guided ascent becomes a compelling metaphor for overcoming adversity, leading with purpose, and building resilient teams. Blending engineering precision, project leadership, and psychological insight, Alan inspires audiences to embrace challenges and elevate performance – both personally and professionally.
What do we lose when people feel isolated, misunderstood, or out of sync? This keynote reveals how connection with oneself, with others, and as a team forms the foundation of authentic collaboration and lasting success. A culture of harmony and belonging fuels motivation, strengthens resilience, and sparks innovation. Through engaging stories and psychology-based insights, participants learn how personality, motivation, and self-awareness shape alignment, trust, and performance. Live electric violin performances flow throughout the keynote, building energy and momentum, and the session concludes with an interactive dance activity that leaves audiences inspired, energized, and ready to strengthen connections.
How do we stay human when technology begins to think for us? As artificial intelligence accelerates beyond what we ever thought possible, we’re being propelled into a future where machines don’t just assist us – they influence how we think, make decisions, and connect. This keynote explores the high-stakes intersection of human behavior and intelligent systems, revealing how organizations can harness the benefits of automation and predictive technology without losing the human edge. We find ourselves at a critical crossroads, one that will define the future of work, leadership, and human interactions. Alan Mallory challenges audiences to rethink their relationship with innovation, navigate disruption with intention, and lead with what cannot be easily programmed: empathy, creativity, and purpose.
Why do some teams embrace safety as a core value while others treat it as an afterthought?

By the end, participants leave with a blueprint for sustaining a resilient, accountable, and high-performing safety culture across all projects and operations.
