Stephen Koch Biography
Stephen Koch is a professional speaker, climber, snowboarder, and mountain guide, recognized for his pioneering contributions to snowboard mountaineering—a term he coined. He is celebrated for achieving over 50 first ascents and descents on the world's highest and most challenging mountains. Notably, he has snowboarded on all Seven Summits, the highest peak on each continent, and was the first person to snowboard all the major Teton Peaks in Wyoming.
Koch combines his extensive experience with a focused expertise in extreme leadership and decision-making. His keynote speeches, such as "Extreme Leadership and Decision-Making", "How to Lead a Team Under Pressure", and "The Zen of Leadership", are crafted to convey critical lessons in leadership under extreme conditions. He specializes in high-stakes decision-making and learning from failure, drawing parallels between leading dangerous mountain expeditions and navigating the risks and pressures of corporate environments. His ability to connect these elements makes his presentations particularly relevant for corporate organizations looking to foster a culture of decisive leadership and effective teamwork.
In his multimedia presentation "One Step Further", Koch utilizes stunning imagery and riveting tales from his adventures to illustrate his points about pushing beyond limits and achieving potential. He has spoken to a wide range of audiences including corporations, students, and various clubs and organizations worldwide, always ensuring his presentations meet client needs and maximize audience engagement. Through his talks, Koch inspires individuals to pursue their highest potential, be accountable for their actions, and value the importance of teamwork.

REVIEWS
Stephen Koch Reviews
-
Stephen Koch's speech was excellent, right on target and right on message. He completely motivated our team. Stephen's message was relevant to what we're trying to do as a company and as a team. I think that his experience in the adventuring world is perfect and very relevant to our experience in the business world.
Dish Network - Dec 20 2012 -
We searched extensively for a speaker that would actively engage our clients and provide a unique story, well beyond the traditional business motivational speakers. Stephen delivered on all accounts given his non-traditional life experiences. Stephen added immense value to our offsite client marketing event because of his candid interaction with our clients regarding his adventures. We found that Stephen added a refreshing spin on his approach to facing challenges, which is not often communicated in an interesting fashion by traditional business speakers. We would not hesitate to include Stephen in future events.
American Capital - Jan 24 2012 -
Stephen Koch was our special guest for a client appreciation event. His presentation combined spectacular film and photography with stories and anecdotes that brought to life storied mountain locales from around the world. Stephen captivated the audience with his humility and humor for one so renowned as a world class mountaineer. We've never hosted a client appreciation event with so many unsolicited compliments received the day after.
Wells Fargo Advisors - Jan 24 2012 -
Stephen Koch was the right speaker with the right message for our sales meeting. We wanted a speaker with mountaineering or winter sport background to compliment our meeting location in Utah, but we wanted more than a cliché message that is common with this speaker type. We chose Stephen because his theme, One Step Further, simultaneously illustrates two key points: how the everyday person can make decisions that result in accomplishing extraordinary things; and the accomplishment can be remarkable for the way it is achieved, even if the objective is not grandiose or uncharted. His presentation takes you on a journey with breathtaking photos, suspense, humor, and self reflection. Leave plenty of time for questions, and then double it!
