Susan Ershler tours the world speaking about her life journey and
sharing with others her secrets for success, determination, and
achieving seemingly impossible goals.
Susan’s record would be remarkable enough if it only detailed her
business achievements. During her 23-year corporate career, she has
held a series of increasingly responsible executive positions in the
sales divisions of Fortune 500 companies. She led teams to sales
records, beating quotas from $1 million to $600 million. Ending as a
vice president of sales for a multi-national telecommunications
corporation, she was responsible for their fast-growing Internet
division. She also worked at US WEST, United Technologies,
FedEx-Kinko’s, and GTE (Verizon). During her business career, she
earned 11 annual President’s Club sales awards – the top honors
awarded to the sales people in these companies.
But as she was marking these achievements, she and her husband Phil,
a professional mountain guide, were climbing the Seven Summits – the
highest mountain on each of the world’s the seven continents.
That remarkable journey culminated at the top of Mount Everest on
May 16, 2002. With that climb, she and Phil became the first couple
in history to climb the Seven Summits together. They are writing a
book on their adventure, due out in 2007, Together on Top of
the World: A True Story of Love and Courage,
published by Warner Books.
That feat earned them world-wide media attention, including Good
Morning America, CNN, The New York Times and many others. As
Alex Ward of the The New York Times put it, “Surmounting
Everest’s 29,035 feet remains one of the great mythic achievements,
an undisputable display of skill and courage against ice and rock,
bottomless chasms, body-numbing temperatures and tent-shredding
winds, all in an oxygen-deprived danger zone. Ms. Ershler worked
hard to get there.”
