A BOOK FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL OR TEAM WHO WANTS TO REACH THEIR OBJECTIVES

Everyone wants to be successful. How do you make dreams come true? Peak Performance, The climb to success, is a book that describes honestly what it takes to get what you want.

Expedition leader and mountaineer Katja Staartjes inspires her readers to transform their dreams into concrete goals, and then go out and realize those goals. Peak Performance is a practical book, offering straightforward guidance on how to get to the top – whatever that top might be for you, at home or at work.

Each of the issues most frequently encountered on the route to the top is described in crisp, evocative language, accompanied by vivid photographs of breathtaking views of these peaks and mountaineering expeditions. A climbing expedition is life in a nutshell. The route to a summit over 8,000 metres high not only tests you physically, it demands mental resilience.

Katja draws parallels with everyday situations where passion, goals, leadership, teamwork, trust, fear, and dealing with setbacks are part of the journey. She goes right to the core of what it is that ultimately will determine your success.

Peak Performance is published by the author. The original book in Dutch, Top-inspiratie was published in 2008 by publishing company Podium of Amsterdam and is meanwhile in its second reprint.
