Jamie Clarke

Professional and Olympic-level
Performance Coach, Expedition
Leader, Business Builder and Master Motivator

Jamie Clarke works with elite teams who win: Olympic teams,
NHL teams, sales teams, leadership teams, and start-up teams.
What connects them all is pressure. With his own hard-won
philosophy of decision-making in extremes— and a storytelling
technique that can take you from laughter to tears in minutes —
Jamie recharges audiences with fresh perspectives on success
and failure, and risk vs. reward.

Creative, humorous, passionate, and on-point, Jamie walks you
through his successful planning process for expeditions and
business. Essential tips on risk assessment. Check. How to listen
for cracks in the ice — and your team. Check. Weathering storms,
literal and metaphorical. Check and check.

Through heart-stopping challenges, Jamie has reached the peak
of his profession as climber and expedition leader. After failing
twice, Jamie regrouped to reach Mt. Everest’s death-zone
summit, twice. He’s trekked 1,000 miles across the most
inhospitable desert on the planet and is one of the few alpinists
to reach the “Seven Summits” – the highest peak on each continent.
As a successful entrepreneur, Jamie learned many
business lessons the hard way as the CEO of an e-commerce
retail start-up.

His high-energy programs takes you to dangerous places, both
real and imagined. He’ll guide you to the edge and bring you
back safely. You’ll learn that the highs and the lows are both
great teachers.

While not on the road speaking or trekking in the Canadian
Rockies, Jamie is an Adjunct professor at the University of
Calgary where he teaches and mentors in the Centre for
Advanced Leadership.
