Summit Sabbatical Series

Executive GlobeTREK’s bespoke intellectual travel programs (7–14 days) are designed for leaders at different stages of their careers—from high-potential junior executives to C-suite and senior-level leaders—who benefit from stepping outside daily demands to reflect, learn, and grow. Grounded in meaningful global themes, each TREK invites participants to engage with the world through a modern “study abroad” lens, blending experiential learning, guided inquiry, and cultural immersion with intentional attention to wellbeing.

Junior Executive TREKs focus on leadership development and readiness—helping emerging leaders build confidence, judgment, and perspective while expanding their capacity to navigate complexity, communicate effectively, and lead with greater intention. Senior Executive TREKs provide seasoned leaders with space for renewal, strategic reflection, and reconnection with purpose at pivotal moments in their careers. Across both tracks, the experience is designed to deepen self-awareness, strengthen leadership presence, and support sustained professional impact.

While organizations benefit from more grounded, engaged, and globally minded leaders, the experience centers on the individual participant. Leaders are supported to:

  • Unplug from day-to-day pressures and create space for reflection

  • Engage in guided inquiry and theme-based intellectual exploration

  • Grow through critical conversation, dialogue, and shared learning

  • Build meaningful connections with like-minded professionals

  • Reconnect with personal values, purpose, and leadership intent

  • Return renewed, inspired, and better equipped to lead

  • Stone sculptures of three historical figures with a blue sky and ocean in the background.
