About K2

Leading in Business is risky, dangerous and incredibly rewarding!

Summiting the K2 Mountain, the most difficult and dangerous mountain in the world to climb, is, we believe, the perfect metaphor for growing your business or organization. The journey to the top requires risk, perseverance, discipline, teamwork, and a burning passion to succeed. Those who prepare, communicate, use the right tools, make informed decisions, and most importantly have a trusted guide and advisor will have a successful summit.

If you are looking for a “Sherpa” to guide you along the climb of business and leadership success, K2 and Marty Shea can be the right coach and guide to the summit for you and your organization.
