Team Play: Signature Workshop by Gary Guller

Team Play
Engaged teams are the lifeblood of successful organizations. They produce results that far exceed the sum of the individual capacities of their members.
Talent may secure matches, but tournaments are won only by team play. Enabling team performance thus becomes critical for organizational growth.Facilitating team play of the kind that is witnessed in a well-rehearsed orchestra, a synchronized surgical unit, or a winning sports team, is one of the top challenges of organizational managers.

Transformational Power of a Vibrant Dream and Winning Team effort

Adapted from Chapter 10 (GARY GULLER: SHATTERING STEREOTYPES) Of the book “Bright Trimphs From Dark Hours” by “David Heenan”

"Team Everest had captured the public’s attention. The climbers’ unprecedented accomplishments were featured in countless newspaper and magazine articles and numerous national and international television reports. They had achieved a goal many considered unthinkable: In the face of adversity, they had overcome the odds. “The freedom to explore is a freedom that everyone should have, regardless of their abilities or disabilities,” Guller told his admirers."

In 2003, Gary was leader of the largest ever cross-disability group to reach Mt Everest Base Camp, at 17,500 feet. After setting this record, he went on to scale the peak, reaching the summit on May 23, 2003, and becoming the first person with one arm to summit Mt. Everest. Later the next year, Gary lead an expedition to the summit of the world’s sixth highest mountain, Mt. Cho Oyu, located in Tibet. In April 2010, Gary completed the grueling Marathon des Sables in Morocco. The MdS is a 6 day, 153 plus miles (250km) endurance race across the Sahara Desert - “The hardest stage race in the World” (CNN World News).

Inspirational Speaker Gary Guller: Thanks Sudha and everyone at Team Bangalore Mirror

"When Gary concludes by saying, “Think Big. Act bold. Treat people fairly. Play to win. Be the best you can be, everyday,” you are unable to discard it as yet-another-motivational-speaker-giving-his-spiel-to-clients-with-fat-purses, simply because the `empty’ left sleeve of his blue shirt flaps, and you can almost hear it say to life, “Gotcha!”For the `sleeve’ belong s to a man, who two decades ago, lay on the hard icy floor of Pico de Orizaba, with a dead friend on one side, and an uncertain future ahead; it belongs to the man who climbed the world’s tallest mountain and it belongs to a man who says with a broad smile, “Always make others greater and success is guaranteed.”
