Jeff Salz

For more than 20 years, Dr. Jeff Salz has been delighting audiences with his uplifting and mesmorizing accounts of global trips, travels and treks. His keynote addresses on the subject of adventure receive standing ovations and audience members say that "I will never forget what I learned from Dr. Jeff!"

Where many speakers draw from a shallow pool of experience, Dr. Jeff delivers meaty, fact filled stories, based upon his expertise as an Anthropologist, his breathtaking ascents of previously unclimbed peaks, and his award-winning documentaries of lost civilizations.

When the goal is absolute and unconditional value from a Keynote speech, Dr. Jeff delivers!

With a Ph.D. in cultural anthropology and four decades studying human nature around the planet, Dr. Jeff is equally at home leading a boardroom of Fortune 100 executives or around a bonfire with tribesmen in the Upper Amazon.

His unique understanding of what enables individuals and organizations to thrive - even in the face of extreme adversity - has made him a much sought after speaker and presenter at conferences on nearly every continent as well as a popular producer and host for documentary specials for the Discovery Network and History Channel.

Dr. Jeff is the definitive expert on the role of adventure and risk-taking. He is the author of The Way of Adventure -- Transforming Your Life and Work with Spirit and Vision (published by John Wiley and Sons).

Dr. Jeff facilitated the Disney team that went on to create the Lion King and continues to inspire at corporate events and retreats around the world -- from Bangkok to Moscow to Buenos Aires -- for the very highest levels of leadership global at companies such as Microsoft, Google, Wal-Mart, eBay, and the Walt Disney Company. His The Highest Common Denominator™ process enables global leadership teams to embrace diversity, discover cohesion and attain new levels of effectiveness.

One of true explorers of our time, veteran climber and leader of over 100 expeditions, Dr. Jeff has completed many first mountaineering ascents -- putting names on maps from Patagonia to the Himalayas. He continues to lead treks to previously unvisited regions of the Himalayas where he helps indigenous populations discover sustainable revenue by developing cultural-based eco-tourism and treks.

Dr. Jeff has recently returned from leading yet another Trek in the Himalayas. He's preparing a documentary entitled "Hidden Sikkim."
