YPO/WPO Leadership climb in the Venezuelan jungle to a lost world above Angel Falls, the highest waterfall in the world
Ed joined seventeen members of the Venezuelan Young President’s Organization (YPO/WPO) to provide an educational leadership component for their climb up Auyantepui, a sacred table mountain in the southern Venezuelan jungle that has Angels Falls, the world's tallest waterfall coming off it. The “tepui” or mountain is completely encircled by vertical cliffs and has a completely isolated world of 300 square miles on top complete with canyons, jungle, rivers and cascades.
The Auyantepui experience was an extraordinary educational opportunity for YPO participants to strengthen their leadership skills and capacities through readings about leadership as well as about the setting and culture of the region, case studies, discussions, and experiential exercises all integrated into the climb of Auyantepui. The lessons drew on powerful mountain metaphors linking experiences on the trek to situations and challenges back in the workplace and daily life.
