One can always improve, one can always climb higher. Is it about pursuing your passion? Or is it about touching the top of the world? There are many ways to express the dangerous passion of alpinists. In Smets' talk titled “The only way is upâ€, he focuses on his experience as an alpinist emphasising important parallels between facing the most imposing mountains he has ever climbed and confronting everyday challenges. His talk on the stage of TEDxUHasselt 2018 is foremost an inspiring story about living on the edge while making the most of it all. Particularly, Wim will target on how to hunt down your own Mount Everest while confronting all obstacles that come along in order to become agile, resilient and passionate about life. Wim Smets is Belgian record holder in climbing mountains higher than 8000 metres. As one of the three Belgians ever to complete the glorious “Seven Summitsâ€, he enjoys engaging in the unknown while accepting difficult challenges. For him it is all about pushing your boundaries to the limit, both on a physical and metal level. Holding an MBA from the Vlerick Business School, Wim is also an experienced IT project manager who knows what it takes to lead the tough reorganization of IT departments within multinationals and governments worldwide. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
