An important and often overlooked part of the “real work” of being a leader is self-reflection. There is consistent evidence that performance is a unifying fusion of action and reflection, and that this practice produces exceptional results.

The theme of our Retreat this year is Purpose and Intentionality. Leaders who attend this Retreat will be awake to their own essential nature and mindful of the difference they can make in the midst of our 24/7/365 reality and the challenges that creates for our organizations today.

Our purpose is to sponsor an environment in which you will:

• Re-engage and reconnect with the unique talents and abilities that have made you successful today
• Reflect on your intentions for future contributions
• Renew your commitment to your essential purpose
