OA Leadership Series: Leadership When It Matters - Majka Burjhardt

What climbing in the wild can teach us about teams, collaboration, and true grit

by Majka Burhardt '98

What a professional climber and social entrepreneur teach you about reaching your dreams and getting to the top.

What happens when a team of rock climbers, biologists, and conservationists sets off on an unconventional expedition into one of the world’s least explored and most threatened habitats—Mount Namuli, Mozambique? Author, professional climber and social entrepreneur Majka Burhardt shares a story of unlikely collaborators and unconventional leadership in a multimedia presentation about her life and work as a full time climber and the head of an international organization creating thriving futures for mountain communities. 

Join Majka as she chronicles her leadership journey as a professional climber and entrepreneur to develop a global conservation initiative in one of the most remote parts of Africa. During the discussion portion of her talk, Majka will be answering questions and coaching on how to develop your own entrepreneurial leadership.
