Timbuk2 and Inc. Magazine take on NOLS Pro

With beautiful weather ahead of them, the newly formed management team of Timbuk2 bags headed out of Lander on June 13th to begin a NOLS professional course into the Wind River Range. Much like Timbuk 2’s custom “build your own” bag, their management team has helped to create a custom designed NOLS professional course to strengthen the bond within  their group. The NOLS curriculum incorporated into their Rocky Mountain Leadership Expedition is easily transferred over into the business world. The seven NOLS Leadership skills, competence, communication, expedition behavior, tolerance for adversity, judgment and decision-making, self-awareness and vision and action create an environment that can allow a business to run smoothly and efficiently.

Alison Wellner, an editor for Inc. magazine, is joining their expedition. Inc. magazine delivers advice, tools, and services to help business owners and CEO’s. On the Timbuk2 Rocky Mountain Leadership Expedition Alison is going to observe how NOLS professional courses help a newly formed management team work well together. The Timbuk2 management team including Alison will be backpacking though the Wind River Range with opportunities for multiple peak ascents. Once they are confident in their leadership and map reading skills they will set off on independent student group travels with out an instructor to guide.
