Hal adler

Start your Summit experience with an unforgettable session that redefines what it means to lead. In “Leading Performance,” Hal Adler — founder of Leadership Landing and former President of the Great Place to Work Institute — partners with vocalists from the Telluride Choral Society to create a fully immersive experience where music becomes metaphor.

Through the dynamic interplay between conductor and choir, you’ll explore the essence of high-performing teams — listening, adapting, and leading in harmony. This isn’t a lecture; it’s three parts workshop, one part live rehearsal, and entirely transformative. You’ll feel leadership, not just analyze it — and carry the lessons far beyond the mountain.

Hal will also serve as Chair of Ascend Telluride, guiding our three-day journey as emcee and anchor. His presence ensures the rhythm, connection, and flow of the event are as intentional as the lessons themselves.
