Ken Wylie’s keynote message to safety and risk management audiences is “Mindset Awareness.” Ken addresses cultivating awareness of the mindset we engage in High Potential Consequence (HPC) situations and environments. Through compelling experiences, stories, and humorous anecdotes, Ken shows that the middle path, between outlier mindsets is an effective strategy that leads to excellent choices.
Responding consciously under pressure often leads to the most effective action.
In 2003 Ken walked away without a scratch from a devastating and tragic snow avalanche that claimed the lives of seven of their guiding team’s clients. To survive his survival, mindset became critical and led him to understanding a deeper high-utility “Why?” A purpose of elevating mindset, not only helps us while managing risk and hazards, but also has great value for leading a meaningful life.
Resilience and remaining free from harm is achieved when we balance opposing forces. Some of us struggle, especially when there is adversity, to remain in balance. To survive ourselves, it is important not abandon all fear, or become too courageous, for example.
