Another keynote speaker, Stacy Allison, compared her struggles as the first American woman to climb Mount Everest with the challenges each of us faces every day. She detailed the five days of misery she spent with several others, holed up in a snow cave on the mountain. Her group survived by laughing at the situation. Based on this, she feels if you maintain a sense of humor in stressful times, you can get through anything.
