Welcome!

Tom Whittaker is a mountaineer, trainer and corporate speaker who believes that leadership is not about responding to change, but about shaping it.

The first three links; "A Letter", "Tom’s Story" and "Mt. Everest", follow a chronology and explore Whittaker's motivations and achievements.

"Corporate Speaking" covers the services offered by Tom to corporations, businesses, professional organizations, universities and schools, in addition to a comprehensive Meeting Planner.

"Disability Outreach" explains Whittaker's altruistic endeavors on behalf of the disabled community.

"Sponsorship" gives corporate partners an overview of new opportunities, while "Media" features current press releases and profiles his past successes.
