ELEVATED LEADERSHIP, A Unique Retreat Among the Aspens

Using the once a year and one-of-a-kind setting of Aspens in the Colorado Rockies, you will gain unique perspectives to elevate your leadership to new heights!

Who you are and who you become are dependent upon 3 leadership abilities:

o  How you respond to the challenges of today.

o  How you handle the inner critics from your past.

o  How you get back up to face tomorrow when things are more challenging than you felt prepared to handle.

This retreat is a deep-dive opportunity to work in the natural surroundings of beautiful Breckenridge, Colorado, and examine the environment you work within, explore the environment you need to elevate your success and unpack the 3 leadership abilities found within emotional intelligence, positive intelligence, and resilience.

By using nature, we delve into handling the challenges you face with more presence, influence, and self-awareness.  This retreat showcases the power around you so you can tap into more of your own.

This retreat offers you:

• Time to reflect on what you really want from your leadership.
• A change of scenery to gain new perspectives directly linked to the work environment you seek.
• Time to learn and connect with other leaders.
• A deeper understanding of how to honor what got you to your success today and a new perspective of how to shift old habits to move forward faster.
• Space to reflect upon how you respond to everyday challenges with more clarity and understanding.
• A deeper understanding of how your capacity to improve your own emotional intelligence is directly related to how you handle your inner critics and your resilience.
• Time to develop real steps and the ability to test the effectiveness of any changes you want to make to your leadership in the last quarter of 2023.

Added bonus!  Massage Anyone? Facial? Enjoy a spa treatment of your choice to use during one of your afternoons outside of our learning time together.

Carole Stizza is an executive coach, keynote speaker, and best-selling author who has spent decades understanding the differences leaders faced, whether it is within the unique culture and standards of the military or the cultures found within corporations.

Her transformational approaches are informed by her career in strategic human resource roles, her education in Applied Industrial-organizations psychology, and her deep understanding of conflict resolution and organizational culture.

Carole’s passion stems from her personal experiences with the ripple effect both poor and effective leaders have on their organization and her goal is to create leaders who leave a remarkable legacy their employees brag about for years.

The season of golden aspens is arguably the most beautiful time of year to visit the enchanting mountain town of Breckenridge, Colorado, just 2 hours driving distance from Denver.
 

The list of what to do in Breckenridge during the fall is long. Consider fall activities like hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, golf or fly fishing. Or explore the town's many art galleries, cafes and restaurants. And wherever you go, simply enjoy the incredible fall foliage. 

Our retreat is being hosted this year by The Breck Boutique Hotel, a charming, lodge-style hotel located at the base of the main ski slopes, within walking distance from the heart of Main Street Breckenridge., and the town's complimentary Gondola.

Your individual suite contains a patio and/or fireplace. The hotel's common areas include a living room with plush sofas and a fireplace, dining area, and a small prep kitchen if needed. Free parking and wi-fi available on-site.

Enjoy this mountain escape in a warm and cozy setting surrounded by evergreens and aspens, and featuring nearby hiking trails and two Jacuzzi hot tubs to help you relax and unwind.

Today we'll gather from near or far in Breckenridge at The Beck Boutique Hotel. 

Enjoy a meet-n-greet and a light meal and beverages to get to know your fellow retreat participants. There will be a few Ice breaker activities all geared towards making you more comfortable as a group and having more things to laugh about together.

Note: Altitude is always a sneaky companion when traveling to places as high in elevations as Breckenridge CO. Whether you come from sea level or somewhere in between, please drink a lot of water and refrain from too much alcohol or anything that dehydrates you prior to your arrival.  

Having a lot of hydration helps you access the oxygen within your bloodstream and will help you adapt faster to the elements.

For this reason, we will not be offering alcohol at our meet-n-greet.  Instead, we'll serve mocktails, sodas, and various flavored water and hot beverage options. 

Following a light breakfast, let the training begin! 

We'll dive in this morning with the first of our workshops, focusing on the hidden secrets of your EQ and how to respond to all challenges in a way that elevates your leadership effectiveness. 

Lunch will either be catered in at our hotel or at a local restaurant together. 

We'll then explore a case study and discuss its lessons learned in an outdoor setting (weather permitting) with some personal time offered to refresh for dinner. 

Dinner will be together at one of our favorite Breckenridge restaurants. 

The evening will include one activity at a local art gallery directly after dinner and the rest of the evening is on your own to explore, visit, and rest.

This morning enjoy an outdoor session of training focused on Handling Your Inner Critics. We will be doing some light hiking (rain or shine) and discussion will follow during a working group lunch.

After lunch, there will be transportation to see Aspen Alley, the spectacular Izak the Troll, and one final hike together (slow paced and not a long distance but vertical for the views) for a group photo.

We'll take advantage of this walk to have a discussion on Inner Critics - where they come from and how to quiet them when you need to lead more effectively.  This is a revealing topic and when set in a gorgeous setting, feels more attainable than you would believe.

Dinner will be on your own.

Note: Carole will be at the Inn for the evening to discuss any aspect of the retreat's activities so far you may wish to explore in greater depth.

This morning we'll bring our coaching, training and discussion to a close with a discussion around Testing Your Resilience.

We will have a guest speaker to provide unique insights into how resilience shows up in different situations.  Discussion and action planning to create your own leadership actions and results testing will follow. 

Lunch will be on your own 

Enjoy some time this afternoon to integrate what you've learned. Explore the town, get a massage, hike or simply relax.  Lunch is on your own.

This evening, we'll come together to enjoy dinner at one of Breckenridge's most famous restaurants. 

Many of you will say goodbye to Breckenridge today and head for home.

Those of you who have enrolled for this added VIP day will be transferred over to Carole’s home, located within walking distance of town.  

You will then have either a morning ½ day or an afternoon ½ day with Carole to delve even deeper into creating an actionable plan for changing up your environment moving forward for the remainder of 2023 and into 2024.  

The other part of your day will be to indulge in a spa treatment of your choice from 1 of 3 of the top spas in Breckenridge and you will be provided transportation to and from unless you decide to walk (and then you will be provided with directions).

VIPs will enjoy all meals today with Carole as well as  stay at her home and get the added opportunity to see the town from a different perspective.
