KEYNOTE TOPICS
Leading From The Trail With The Summit In Mind
Shelly’s experience as a Freedom Challenge climber trekking to Mount Everest Base Camp/Kala Patthar (18,519 ft.) in the Himalayas serves as the foundation of this keynote presentation on leadership and teamwork. She will share inspiring stories and teach lessons on servant leadership as she takes you on a virtual trek in the Himalayas using photos and videos that will capture your attention and keep you engaged throughout.
This is a 2-hour presentation divided into two 1-hour segments. This topic is best presented to large audiences.
As with all of Shelly’s keynote topics, this material can be presented from a Biblical perspective to Christian audiences.

Neon Orange Rope
Shelly's experience climbing a glaciated mountain not only taught her the rigorous sport of technical glacier mountaineer, but through it, she gained valuable life skills through the use of technical climbing equipment, climbing techniques, and experiencing maneuvering the glacier fields as part of a rope team. This is a visual and manipulative experience for teams to help them learn to cooperate, trust and respect one another's abilities as they navigate unknown territory together.
This is a 1-hour presentation. This topic is great for both large and small groups, especially sports teams. There are interactive elements to this presentation.
As with all of. Shelly’s keynote topics, this material can be presented from a Biblical perspective to Christian audiences.
