Experiences that grow strong leaders and build great teams.
Learning through shared experiences is invaluable. It is the ONLY way for adults to grow and change. Lessons become richer, discussions more thought provoking. Plus, participants build trust, understanding, and form strong bonds that last throughout their career.
By using historic places, and events associated with them, we carefully curate leadership experiences and lessons that have been described as “extraordinary,” “inspirational,” “memorable,” and “life-changing” – all while keeping your leadership needs and goals in mind.
Each experience is further accentuated by introducing practical leadership lessons, concepts and strategies through keynote talks and classroom style seminars. Each day ends with a facilitated discussion to help pave the way for implementing individual growth and organizational change.

Our faculty members respect your life experiences and professional knowledge. Instead of trying to dismiss your experiences and knowledge or try and change your mindset we integrate and utilize them to enrich the learning environment for everyone.
