Leadership Ventures
“Lead, follow, or get out of town!” That’s not exactly how the famous leadership quote goes, but there is something to be said for taking time out of the daily grind to develop leadership skills in a truly immersive, free-from-distraction environment that allows for focus, freedom, and FUN! When you join Jeannette Stawski and a team of experienced leadership coaches and guides on a Leadership Venture, you do just that. A Leadership Venture is a unique, hands-on, carefully curated travel experience where participants can learn new leadership skills, hone the skills they currently have, and give and receive feedback from both the group and the natural environment.
​
Leadership Ventures are offered as “open enrollment” programs — meaning anyone can apply - and feature destinations like Italy and Norway. Additionally, Jeannette and her team can design custom group trips, tailored to your specific needs, dates, group dynamics, and desired outcomes.
Find your Present Moment Leadership
What does each moment ask of you as a leader?
…For you? For others?
For your communities and organizations?
Join us for an inspiring few days of leadership skill-building and practice in one of Italy’s treasured getaways, Tuscany! During this immersive learning experience, you will explore your own leadership presence and abilities through activities that thoughtfully include culture, cuisine, art, movement, and mindfulness. By the end of this program, you will have calm, confidence and clarity in your purpose, values and goals as a leader back home!
Learning in Nature
Nature, as a classroom, offers the opportunity to experience questions and musings and discoveries in a completely new surrounding. Nature allows us to walk our talk, choose a different path, experience getting lost and finding our way again. In nature, we can still ourselves and listen to our bodies, hearts and souls.
With nature as our profound partner, participants can use age-old processes to support setting intention; create deep, personal journeys of self-discovery; and facilitate meaningful re-entry and integration through coaching and reflection. Particularly during major transitions, these rites of passage ~ some call ‘soul searching’ ~ can propel the participant to new awareness, new discovery, and a natural sense of wellbeing.

Each individual will be responsible for leading the group through various challenges and working together, at times, literally connected to one another while trekking across the glacier.
