Lessons from the Edge:  Pushing Limits & Intelligent Risk Taking
Arty Trost, Professional Speaker, Ultralight Adventurer

Now more than ever is the time to push the envelope!  Risk taking comes in many forms. Regardless of the risks you face in your personal and professional life, you must deal with the accompanying fears. 

When you learn that what you want requires...

• Stepping out of your comfort zone and into your courage zone
• Pushing beyond your self-imposed boundaries
• Taking thoughtful risks to reach your goals

Arty will help you get there!  Arty is the only woman long distance ultralight pilot in North America. She uses her adventures as a metaphor to help audiences like you think differently and live life with passion. The lessons she discovered while flying vividly demonstrate how you can face and overcome your own personal and professional challenges. Arty successfully translates the five key principles involved in flying ultralights into applications to teach you how to tap into your abilities and "fly" into the future with confidence and courage.
