Rise Up: Finding Strength & Conquering Challenges in Tough Times with Alison Levine

AFP Conversations

Alison Levine, the Tuesday Keynote at AFP 2024, knows what it’s like to survive (and thrive) in the world’s toughest environments. She served as team captain of the first American Women's Everest Expedition, scaled the "Seven Summits," and skied to the North and South Poles. In her New York Times bestseller, On the Edge: Leadership Lessons from Everest and Other Extreme Environments, Levine asserts that the principles that apply to the world of extreme adventure also apply to demanding business environments. A former adjunct professor at West Point, Levine understands what it takes to lead teams through challenging situations.

In this episode of AFP Conversations, Alison discusses how leadership principles that apply in extreme adventure sports also apply in today’s extreme business environments and gives listeners a sneak peek of what treasury and finance professionals can expect during her keynote in Nashville.
