The Executive Vision Quest is for leaders who want the kind of deep self-awareness it takes to have an extraordinary leadership presence. They are willing to stretch beyond what's comfortable for the sake of greater meaning in life and a more powerful impact on their world. If you are this kind of leader, the vision quest will appeal to your sense of inner and outer adventure.

You may be called to the quest by a major transition, such as a career move or a personal loss or opportunity. Or you may be facing a new or difficult professional challenge. Or you may simply be called by your desire to take your leadership performance to the highest level possible.

The Executive Vision Quest takes you to your personal and professional growth edges and enables you to expand them. You look at yourself and your life with clear eyes and come away with deep insights. Wilderness solitude is integrated with professional coaching, enhancing your ability to:

"It was a stretch to fast for three days in the canyon. But I really wanted to see what would happen, being alone with God, nature and my own thoughts. It was amazing. The clarity I got about my purpose has impacted every part of my life. Two years after the quest, I am still drawing on the experience. I am more open to others, more connected to my intuition and less stressed. And I notice that creative solutions are showing up more quickly and with less effort."

THE EXPERIENCE

The integration of intensive one-on-one leadership coaching with solitude and reflection in nature makes the Executive Vision Quest a uniquely powerful experience.

Opening - one to two months.

Coaching prepares you for your wilderness solo. You clarify your life purpose. You assess how your thoughts, words and actions impact others - and begin making changes aligned with the impact you want to have. You form clear intentions for the elevated life and leadership you are stepping into. You prepare mentally and spiritually to take full advantage of the time spent alone in nature.

Wilderness Solo - one to five days

You spend time alone in a beautiful wilderness setting. This is a time-honored, safe and challenging means for stretching your heart and mind wide open. The experience is beyond words. It takes you to places in yourself that no seminar, conference or coaching can. In the raw beauty of nature, you see your life with new eyes. You may be camping and fasting for three days in the wilderness; or retreating to a remote cabin for several days; or wandering from dawn to dusk in nature (see Formats, below). Any of these options can be a stretch and create the conditions for deep renewal and change.

Incorporation - one to two months

Coaching helps you move from insight to action. You start doing what it takes to align your day-to-day thoughts, words and actions with the wisdom gained from your wilderness solo. You begin practices to help ensure that your inner transformation shows up in your external life and that your growth is lasting.
