Award- Winning Vistage Speaker “Antarctic Mike” Pierce’s program, Leading at 90 Below Zero, (also the name of one his books) will showcase the principles and drivers that enabled Shackleton and his men to not only survive but thrive under terrible conditions of adversity, sudden and unexpected change and many other factors that threatened their success.
In August of 1914, Ernest Shackleton led a group of 27 men on the greatest journey ever undertaken by mankind when he launched the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. Their mission was to cross the entire Antarctic continent on foot, a feat no one had ever dared or done. They became stranded, shipwrecked and fought for their lives in the middle of the harshest conditions on earth; amazingly, all 27 men returned home safely, due in part to Schackleton’s great leadership.
