Summit Your Mind · The People

The ones who lead.

Every expedition is only as good as the person holding it. We choose our coaches for who they are as much as what they know, and for having walked the ground they now guide others across.

Expedition leaders

Leadership & what's next

Bill Williams

Leads The Second Summit · November 2026

Bill has spent his career advising founders and chief executives through the moments that decide a company and the moments that decide a life. He understands the particular quiet of the man who has succeeded and is not sure it was the right summit, and he leads with candour rather than comfort.

Leadership & coping

Shereen Qutob

Leads The Clearing · March 2027

An executive leadership and talent strategist with nearly two decades helping leaders, teams and organisations navigate growth and change across the Eastern Hemisphere. She pairs that experience with her Inner Alchemy Framework, creating the space for women to think clearly and hear themselves before deciding what comes next. She leads alongside Constanze Witzel, so the group is held by two women throughout.
