Summit Sabbatical Series

Bespoke intellectual travel programs (10-14 days), designed for C-Suite and senior-level executives, provide participants an opportunity to engage with meaningful global themes which allow today’s leaders to pause, reflect and engage with the world through a “study abroad” lens while focusing on their wellbeing. While the benefits to companies and employers are many, the goals of these experiences for the participant are:

● Unplug from work
● Engage in guided inquiry and themed learning
● Intellectual growth by engaging in critical conversations
● Connect with like-minded professionals
● Rediscover one’s purpose
● Return renewed, inspired, and re-engaged
