Podcast appearances and mentions of anne parmenter

I purposely picked this conversation with Anne Parmenter to kick off the year, because I need to hear so much of this right now. For someone who was told by a middle school teacher that she wasn't going to amount to much, Anne has done pretty ok for herself. She will blow you right off your feet. Literally!Anne is a Hall of Fame field hockey coach that took her team to the NCAA tournament multiple times. She's done multiple marathons, is an AMGA rock climbing instructor and ice climbing instructor, and oh, did I mention she's also a mountaineer who's climbed a bunch of 8000 meter peaks around the world - including summiting Mt. Everest in 2006?BUT - this isn't a story of some extreme, unrelatable, genetically superior athlete ticking things off a bucket list. (Although Anne's 90 year old mum is still working out every day and went snow tubing over the holidays, so maybe there is a teeny bit of genetic superiority at play here after all....)The day I spoke with her, Anne was on the brink of retiring from an almost 40-year career as a coach and educator to embark on her next act - as a full-time climbing guide with EMS in North Conway, New Hampshire. Never mind 'bucket list'; Anne is more of an opportunist who  doesn't shy away from epic adventure potential that drops into her lap. Rather than using her age or job or busy life as (justifiable) reasons to put things off indefinitely, Anne cranked up her mountaineering in her 40s, summited Everest in her late 40s, and decided to lean in to more technical ice climbing in her 50s. She is truly the inspiration I thought we all could use to start the year off in the right frame of mind!Learn more about Anne, her Everest expeditions, and lots more good stuff here (and even more over at GuidesGoneWild.com!):Anne Parmenter - National Field Hockey Hall of FameAnne Parmenter on NBC CTHigh Crimes: The Fate of Everest in an Age of Greed by Michael KodasEMS Climbing GuidesAMGA - American Mountain Guides AssociationAnne Parmenter on Finding Mastery with Michael GervaisRagged Mountain Foundation (CT)Who was Fritz Wiessner?What are traprock ridges?Exum Mountain Guides (Jackson Hole, WY)Ama Dablam (Nepal)Laurie Watt on Guides Gone Wild (more climbing goodness)Kanchenjunga (India/Nepal border)Dolomites (Italy)Cuillin Ridge, Isle of Skye (Scotland, UK)Anne's essay about her ‘Summer of Fun' when she turned 60Women's Climbing Coalition ice climbing on Jan 21st & 22nd (Woodstock, NH)

Imagine being within striking distance of your lifelong dream, only to come to a fork in the road. Continue onward but in doing so, put others lives in danger, or turn back and potentially never have another shot at fulfilling your dream.What would you do? How would you respond? Ethical decision making under duress is a fascinating process.I don’t know anyone that says, “I’m a bad human being. I’m a terrible human being and I do bad things. But some people put up an armor, a shield of denial, when there is a something at stake they badly want. When there is money, effort, years of commitment on the line, the moral compass can become clouded.This conversation with mountaineer and Trinity College field hockey and lacrosse coach Anne Parmenter touches on just that, and more!Anne has a unique perspective – she’s been in the trenches summiting the World’s greatest mountains and has also coached for over 20 years.Anne has climbed Aconcagua in Argentina, Denali, Chimborazo in Equador, Mount Blanc in the French Alps, and two expeditions to Mount Everest. In this conversation, we discuss how to prepare for moments of true test.Resiliency has been a profound theme over the course of Anne’s life. We dive into strategies she's used to overcome setbacks and how she helps do the same for her athletes.We also touch on why the environment you operate in can have a significant impact on your mindset – which ultimately impacts your performance. I hope this conversation inspires you to embrace challenges, overcome obstacles, and hopefully gets you thinking – how would you act in a moment of crisis when something you badly want is at stake?
