More About Jeff Salz . . .

Dr. Jeff Salz�cultural anthropologist, explorer, and journalist�has made a life out of adventure. He has traversed most of the remaining blank spots on the map, living with the Turkestani Khazaks of Central Asia, riding with the Gauchos of Argentina and nomads of Mongolia, and searching for Shangri-La among the lost valleys of the Himalayas. For three months, he led the Chinese army on a merry chase while traveling in disguise with the Khampa nomads of Tibet. Traveling the Andes on horseback, skis, and foot, he traversed the Southern Patagonian Ice Cap, scaled its unclimbed summits, and followed in the footsteps of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. He has explored lost cities along the Amazon. And, sailing in a traditional reed boat, he became the first person to sail around Lago Titicaca, the sacred lake of the ancient Incas and the world's highest navigable waterway.

Jeff has successfully translated his lifetime of explorations into motivational presentations. As one of the nation's foremost authorities on bringing the spirit of adventure into daily life, he is founder and president of Salz & Associates, a management consulting organization dedicated to innovative approaches to personal and organizational change. A partial list of his clients includes Aetna, Motorola, GTE, Pacific Bell, Hewlett Packard, and The Walt Disney Company.

He takes his audiences on a lively exploration of the adventure perspective as a strategy for increasing effectiveness on the job and in daily life. Sharing thought-provoking insights gained from his worldwide expeditions, he skillfully guides audience members through the uncertainties of a changing world, inspiring them to chart their own course, achieve their goals and turn each day into a "peak experience." His humorous style and profound sense of humanity make each presentation a memorable event, and audiences come away with a new sense of enthusiasm for their lives and careers. Combining breathtaking photography and epic storytelling, Jeff has wrapped 30 years of expedition leadership and exploration into keynote experiences that will move your people not only to tears and laughter, but also to action!
