Business is an adventure — and mountain-climber Jamie Clarke helps audiences reach their unique Everest by showing them how to build and lead teams to success. An acclaimed adventurer, mountaineer, and entrepreneur, Clarke draws on his unique background to relay essential tips on handling risk while navigating challenge, scaling new heights while retaining passion, and how to foster an honest and authentic workplace culture that stays true to its mission.

Clarke is one of a handful of people in the world to hold the rare accomplishment of climbing the Seven Summits — the highest peak on each continent. He has reached the Everest summit twice, but only after his first two attempts were cut short by deadly storms that left him only a few feet short of the summit. Determined and dedicated, Clarke reached his goal in 1997 and 2010.

Always one for new adventures, Clarke has ridden camels across the Empty Quarter of Arabia, motorbiked across Mongolia with his son, and has served as a performance coach for Olympians, the NFL, Hockey Canada, and the 2018 Stanley Cup-winning Washington Capitals. He is currently a fellow and associate professor at the University of Calgary’s Haskayne Business School where he teaches and mentors in the Centre for Advanced Leadership.

Clarke is also the founder and former CEO of Live Out There Inc., a mountaineer clothing e-commerce business that earned him multiple nominations for the Canada Post E-commerce Innovation Awards. His keynotes leave audiences with memorable insights and actionable strategies on leadership, risk management, and defining and achieving your goals.

Client reviews

  • Jamie was awesome! I haven’t had many speakers that keep my attention for every second/minute of a one hour session. He did a great job of picking up on some issues in our open Q&A with our CEO (tough questions / challenges) and weaving it in to his message.

  • What Jamie Clarke learned on Everest helped the Caps win on the ice.

  • It was a great show! We have had nothing but outstanding comments about Jamie’s presentation!! And the fact that he became so involved with the event went above and beyond in my book.

  • Jamie was great! I think with such a large group, it is hard to find someone who speaks to everyone’s style and needs. Jamie delivered the message we were hoping for, and he was great to work with!

  • Jamie was awesome! He was so available to us and very friendly. He got a standing ovation and quite a few people said he was one of the best speakers they had ever heard. And this group sees a lot of speakers!

  • Jamie Clarke is one of the most naturally gifted/talented speakers I have seen. Our entire group loved hearing from him. He was funny, passionate, heartfelt, overall incredible, and really helped make our time in Canada memorable.

  • Jamie Clarke was outstanding. I would highly recommend him. He’s exactly what our team needed and his style and approach resonated with our leadership team in so many ways. Hope our paths cross with Jamie again in the future.
