This isn't your 'typical global leadership classroom program' but rather an immersive experience to connect, learn, and explore in a new culture!
Your host, Brenda McGuire, has traveled to 100 countries, lived as an expat in 6 countries, was CEO of two international companies, was a Fortune 500 global leader, and is a three-time best-selling author. She's also trained thousands of leaders in 40+ countries!
Be ready for action-packed retreat with lots of learning, exploring, networking, touring and eating! Your trainer has brought their unique global leadership backgrounds and experiences in planning all aspects of this retreat! Plus, you'll be able to participate in leadership development BEFORE and AFTER the retreat.
You'll be staying in an off-the-beaten-path destination -- not where all the tourists go! And, you'll get to stay in a medieval walled city! How many others can say they've done that?! We love this location since its near the wineries and Venice too! There is so much to do, see, and experience here!
Be ready to be inspired and learn new things through our various leadership, cultural, and professional development interactive workshops. You'll learn from a cross-cultural expert on how to effectively lead across cultures. And, learn from the other leaders attending too!
You'll get to immerse yourself in the culture. Connect with the locals, like Nana, explore the walled village, try its regional cuisine, and make new friends! Learn cultural do's and don'ts and a few Italian phrases too - Cin Cin!
A truly unique experience you'll get to participate in is the 'territory leadership mapping' workshop. This technique, developed by Anthony Willoughby, is based on nomadic wisdom by Mongolian and Masai Mara elders and tribal chiefs.
This course is ideal for any woman global leader or manager - either new or experienced - who wants to learn how to increase their effectiveness when leading globally.
If you lead a global team, work globally, or are interested in developing your own international career then this retreat is for you!
