Leader of Leaders, Harmony Coach, Executive leader, Success Consultant…I’ve been called many things.Ultimately, they all mean the same thing. I transform how executives define and create life success. The work I do is a calling. One that I’m honored to live out. There was almost a time that didn’t happen. We all have experiences that define us, set us on a different path, or elevate our vision for life.I had mine at 38.Sitting at the doctor’s office, patiently waiting to hear how great I was, he handed me a prescription that offered a life sentence. One, I knew I was self-imposed.I had a decision to make.Accept my “fate” or refuse his diagnosis and create the life I knew I was meant for.I chose the latter and I’m here to help my clients do the same. With over 30 years of experience from combat in Iraq to the corporate boardroom, I use my personal and professional experience to transform how leaders lead, how executives live, and how we all create a lifestyle where success and harmony coexist. Fifteen years ago, I made a decision that would change my life. I dove into personal development, made consistent healthy decisions, and mended relationships that I thought were lost. All of those changes led me to create a business that has changed the lives of thousands globally.In my corporate consulting, I am a sought-after expert for building and scaling results-driven teams. I believe hiring the right people, equipping them with the tools they need to be successful, and then holding them accountable for results is the secret to exceptional business success. I help teams create culture by attracting top talent, intentional onboarding, and rigorous top-grading which are critical for winning with people.Through my personal coaching with CEOs, Executives, and future leaders, I focus on helping create the same harmony in life that they’ve created in business.

Bill AllenCo-Owner/Lead GuideI feel lucky to have been able to create a life out of pursuing the things that I love to do for over 20 years now. I grew up playing in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon, and eventually made it up to Alaska where I found my first guiding job and eventually realized that I might be able to make a living out of it.I’ve now been to places that I never dreamed I would ever get a chance to go, climbed all the “7 Summits” twice, stood on top of Mount Everest 3 times. I take great pleasure in sharing those experiences with climbers from around the world. Although I spend most of my time in the San Juans Mountains of Colorado now, Alaska is still in my blood and I’ve guided nearly 30 expeditions on Denali, and expeditions to Mt. Foraker, Mt. Huntington, Mt. Fairweather, and many other peaks in Alaska.I manage to get out of the Mountain Trip office just enough that I am able to work as a ski guide in the winter for both heli skiing and as part of our own backcountry ski touring program here in the San Juans. I spend my winters in Ophir, CO with my very understanding wife, Sonja and our boy, Parker. We still spend part of each summer in Alaska running the day-to-day operations of our Denali season.
