SESSIONS
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24
This day is all about settling into your personal suite, receiving your welcome swag bag, and having dinner with the group. We'll get to know each other and begin building the relationships we'll foster during the trip.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25
The day will kick off with a gourmet breakfast before we start our first session - three in all that day. After we've learned new techniques and takeaways, we'll head to a team building activity at the resort. After some time to rest and recuperate, we'll enjoy dinner at the sky bar and drinks and desserts by the bonfire!
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26
The last day will include our final session and concentrated breakouts that are tailored to common challenges. You'll be able to select and focus on what matters most to you.

Throughout the retreat, we'll host five interactive sessions and end with concentrated breakout sessions to continue the conversation and put into practice what you've learned.
CLIFTONSTRENGTHS LEADERS REPORT | You have to know where and who you are before you can make impactful change. This session kicks off our entire retreat and will be the foundation for how we approach our conversations throughout the experience. You'll discover how your individual strengths shape your leadership style, how to use them more effectively, and how to stay alert when they aren't serving you.
DESIGNING & DRIVING YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE | With so many factors, people feel like someone else can be in the driver’s seat with their own career. Reclaim control over your work by aligning your daily responsibilities with what matters most to you. Learn how to set boundaries, identify what’s draining you, and reshape your role with purpose.
DELEGATING AND PARTNERING | Many people get stuck because they’re overwhelmed and hesitant to delegate, hindering their ability to level up. Let go of doing it all yourself. Learn how to delegate with trust, build the right partnerships, and shift your mindset around what it means to lead effectively.
RESILIENCE & CHANGE | Whether it’s failure, mistakes, or change that’s out of your control – what matters most is your actions that follow. Learn how to bounce back with stronger tools and embrace growth during times of uncertainty, moving from a reactive approach to a proactive approach.
NETWORKING & CONNECTIONS | Building meaningful relationships often gets overshadowed by superficial networking events or large, impersonal networks. This session will focus on cultivating impactful connections in everyday interactions. Participants will learn to shift their mindset on networking from collecting contacts to building genuine relationships that enhance both their professional and personal lives.
ROUNDTABLE BREAKOUTS | We'll wrap up our retreat with an opportunity to collaborate and continue the discussion from our sessions. You'll have the opportunity to work through real life scenarios!
Take charge, take action, and take the lead in shaping your career and life.
