Neil formed McCarthy Consulting Group in 2003. After 10 years of leading and educating as a guide with Alpine Ascents International and the National Outdoor Leadership School, Neil decided to pursue a deeper understanding of human motivation, behavior, and dynamics he had observed for years on expeditions. The focus of his work has been to aid leaders and teams to translate theories of individual, team, and organizational performance into practical and applicable actions that deliver results. Neil's experience leading expeditions to the highest peaks in the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, Central and South America, Antarctica, and the Himalayas, gave him an intimate understanding of the importance, the challenges, and the impact of leadership on team performance. In his coaching and consulting work with organizations he has seen the same human responses to uncertainty, adversity, failure, and success as he has on dozens of expeditions. Whether in the mountains or the conference room, he believes the key to great leadership is to be consistently developing one's ability and resiliency to work effectively with the behavioral, emotional, and mental processes within one's self and others during the pursuit of demanding goals and objectives. |
