Experience
Founder
Jan 2017 — Present · Boulder, CO, US
Adventures in Leading focusses on the relationship between adventure, self-awareness, and personal purpose. Through adventure, individuals are exposed to something bigger than oneself, often resulting in introspection, self-awareness, and an expanded worldview. This personal clarity can serve as a calling for individuals to define and live a life in alignment with their personal values. It is our hope that this greater self-awareness will help leaders play their biggest game and create a life story worth living. In addition, we believe that this sense of purpose will result in individuals who build lives and organizations that do both well and good. Individuals that ultimately build and lead sustainable organizations that create profit for shareholders while protecting the environment and improving the lives of those with whom they interact. Define your desired outcome and we design the perfect experience. World class guides and best-in-class facilitators design and deliver bespoke coaching engagements, experiential activities, leadership retreats, and team-building activities.
