Top organizations are in a constant evolution — continuously transforming, and most importantly, always moving forward.

From Mount Everest to the Sahara to running across Canada, Sébastien Sasseville had to had to learn how to maintain peak performance while in rapidly changing environments to survive and conquer. He walks organizations through the keys to creating corporate agility and achieving successful transformation — embracing discomfort and building resiliency — while showing leaders how to inspire forward-thinking and high-performing teams.

Key messages include:

• Performance through transformation: what do we need to stop doing?
• Flexibility is a strategy for success, not a response to failure.
• The cost of inaction. If you aren’t transforming, your competitors are. The cost of not trying is greater than the cost of failing.
• Change is a culture, not an action.
• Managing and adapting to threats before they arrive: notice, acknowledge, respond
• And more!
