Do you know what cold leadership means?

Our keynote presenter for the Green Jobs Forum is Brian Keating, who will be speaking about the failed Antarctic expedition of Ernest Shackleton and how his journey can inspire leadership in the environmental realm. One of the most remarkable stories of risk taking and survival was played out in the remote frozen seascapes of the Antarctic. Ernest Shackleton was an extraordinary leader, who beat all possible odds during a 2 year struggle with survival. What lessons can Shackleton teach us about life and leadership? How could his icebound situation of courage and endurance give us insights into our own possibilities? During this lively presentation, Brian will take you on a voyage through one of the most astounding survival adventures of all time, illustrating the brilliant leadership qualities that enabled Shackleton to return home without the single loss of life. If you aren’t sure what cold leadership means, you will after this session. Please register for free and plan to join us on December 3rd. http://greenjobsforum.ca/sessions/brian-keatings-presentation/
