SUMMARY:Special Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Episode 7 – Mindset Awareness for Risk Decision Making\n\n\n\n\nWhen: Wednesday March 18\, 2026 @ 18:00 MT\nSpeaker: Ken Wylie IFMGA\, BPE\nWho: Members Only \nKen has lived and worked his entire career in HPC (High Potential Consequence) situations and environments. Certified internationally with the International Federation of Mountain Guide Associations (IFMGA) (R)\, Ken’s work as a mountain guide and adventure educator has taken him into some incredibly hazardous environments where he has experienced the highs and lows with his clients and students as a guide and educator. From climbing the highest peaks in the western hemisphere\, first ascents on rock and ice\, to surviving a deadly avalanche that\nclaimed the lives of seven souls in 2003. \nKen has owed it all as part of the learning process of adventure. Through this experience\, he realized that how we show up to engage with the challenges we face\, is the key element to finding our true selves. Through his business\, Archetypal\, Ken’s calling is to help others understand how they are showing up to critical decision-making processes and how to elevate actions and outcomes to a higher place through awareness of mindset in order to survive ourselves.\n\n\nThis talk addresses a needed paradigm extension in how we manage hazards in High-Potential-Consequence (HPC) situations and environments. The extrinsic processes available to us for managing hazards are all underpinned by the fact that we are human\, and we make choices from the inside out. By fostering greater awareness of the intrinsic elements and their effects\, we can elevate the quality of our mindset and the following actions we take.
