"It was wonderful to hear Araceli’s experiences and, for a change, to have a speaker who spoke and answered questions from the heart! Too often we have people who tell us what we want to know in “business speak.""
-EMEA (UK)"Araceli helped us communicate to our team that to get through rough times the key word is teamwork. She made a superb presentation that made everybody leave the room with a completely different view of work and life."
-BulltickEvery person is a unique door to a different world, and together we can do great things because our diversity of thoughts, skills, creativity, etc. will help us to face new challenges and succeed.
Mindsets can profoundly affect learning, skill development, relationships, achievement, and success.
The mindset of a team is basic when working with others, empathizing, responding to group needs, being flexible, finding motivation, and leading effectively.
Finding meaning and a sense of purpose in our job or in our lives is the closest feeling to finding happiness. Where do we invest and focus our energy, especially in the workplace? Increasing a sense of meaningfulness at work is one of the most potent–and underutilized–ways to increase productivity, engagement, and performance.
In times of crisis, leadership emerges when people who have demonstrated their values and principles and are capable of leading in tough situations because they generate trust. Trust and cooperation are not an instruction; they are a feeling that you cannot buy, you have to earn, and it will lead to overcoming crisis.
Taking actions based on decision making to deal with uncertainty can be can be stressful, exciting, unnerving and confidence building. It is the very condition that impels us to unfold our powers.
Life is a journey marked by uncertainty; dealing with it instead of destiny is often what leads to progress in this journey of ups and downs, of success and failure. Once you control it, a world of infinite possibilities opens up at your fingertips.
The main questions Araceli Segarra got when she came back from Everest, were:
-Was it harder for her to climb that mountain being a woman?
-Why? Her response: "Did the slope of the mountain change when a man stepped on it or when a woman stepped on it?
Mountains don’t make a distinction, and she takes nature's judgment for good.
This talk is based on her book, where we approach our goals as we climb a mountain, taking them step by step, reaching high camps.
Not That High and Not That Difficult is a genuine crossover; a work that all kinds of readers will love, and for different reasons. It is the story, told in first person, of the first Spanish speaking woman to climb Everest. It is a practical book of how the same tenacity and resolve can help readers to achieve any goal they set for themselves. It is also an eyewitness account of many important events. For instance, the 1996 four expeditions to Everest suffered fatalities, which caused a huge international stir and gave rise to a major controversial bestseller, Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer.
Araceli was part of the rescue team and in Not That High and Not That Difficult she shares her fascinating and dramatic first-person account. Inspirational. Controversial. Dramatic. Araceli Segarra's debut as a writer will, logically, reach new heights. When she decided to take part in a film about mountaineering, the result was Everest, the biggest IMAX film box-office success of all times. And when she decided that her experience could help a lot of companies achieve excellence, her motivational speeches were (and still are) requested by the biggest corporations.
Change management, leadership, mindset, teamwork, dealing with uncertainty, fear, risk and effort, overcoming obstacles, attitude, breaking paradigms, visualization, adversity, resilience, determination, decision-making, work-life balance, strategy and many other concepts will take you on a great journey.

For the first time Araceli Segarra shares the secrets of her exceptional life….and how you can make your own life exceptional. “This book will take you on a journey that few have taken and many have not known about.”
