Gary Guller summited Everest on May 23, 2003

Gary Guller, Everest Speaker, lost the use of his arm in a mountaineering accident just as he had found his life's passion: alpine climbing. He stunned a medical team at Duke University by asking to have his paralyzed arm amputated. He has inspired others ever since to continue onward and upward.

Gary Guller, Motivational Everest speaker, led the largest cross-disability group to reach Mt. Everest Base Camp at 17,500 feet, before setting another record, becoming the first person with one arm to summit Mt. Everest! To bring the Everest excitement to your event - http://www.garyguller.com/

Gary Guller: Diversity Speaker


Diversity Vision: Inclusion, Commitment and Success

In today's competitive environment and global economy, an organization's success depends on the full contribution and productivity of every person. Achieving optimal results for your organization requires full engagement of the diverse perspectives which represent your market place as well as your workforce.
The true potential of all people, regardless of their color, race/gender, their sexual orientation and/or their disability can only be achieved through the equal acceptance of all in our society. Allowing people to confidently share and express their ideas, thoughts and strengths without fear will only improve productivity on both a personal and corporate level.
Team building, effective communication and strong leadership are just a few of the topics that will be discussed during this highly professional presentation. The organization's ability to be open-minded and to raise positive awareness comes from within each individual. However, fostering the ideals of this enriching environment must begin with a strong commitment from the top executives.
Let your employees, your colleagues, suppliers and your customers know that you fully support a diverse workforce. It is time to let go of the stereotypical and inaccurate views that are held by so many, preventing the true success of your organization....

Great thought and idea, photographed/shot by Chris Watkins - my Canadian friend that just visited the New Pole with D. Shannnon, a person with quadriplegia.
