Show Notes
What happens when a business leader agrees to climb Mount Kilimanjaro after a few drinks—and almost doesn't make it down alive? Wayne Berenger's terrifying moment at 19,000 feet taught him leadership principles that now drive corporate turnarounds across America.
One minute Wayne felt like "Superman" on day three of the climb. The next, he was disoriented, nearly blacking out, and completely separated from his team. Then something extraordinary happened that changed how he approaches every business challenge.
When the head guide appeared "out of nowhere," took Wayne's backpack, and said "follow my footsteps," it sparked a revelation about why 80% of corporate change initiatives fail. But here's what stunned Wayne most: the happiest people he'd ever met were carrying 30 pounds on their heads up a mountain every day.
What's the connection between Tanzanian guides and failed business transformations? How does Wayne's 5-step framework flip traditional change management on its head? And why does he believe most leaders confuse superpowers with kryptonite?
Wayne reveals why you should never start with processes or software, shares his "calendar ownership" test that exposes leadership blind spots, and explains how values alignment creates unshakeable joy even in the hardest work. Plus, discover the framework that "just doesn't fail" when executed properly.
