The Edge | Peak Performance Retreat Series

As entrepreneurs and leaders, we often live on the edge. We need to make high stakes decisions under pressure, apply advanced planning techniques, deliver innovation and extraordinary solutions to global problems, while juggling life, partners, children, friends, and relationships. Striving to sustain momentum, energy and passion.

THE EDGE is an elite development opportunity. Providing an unparallel blueprint for sustainable peak performance, enabling our leaders to make critical decisions and perform at their best when exposed to extreme stress. Cutting edge neuroscience and thought leadership, meshed with joy, laughter, and deep reflection, we bring to you an unprecedented experience.

Come together in some of the world’s most exotic locations as we embark on a journey of transformational growth. By connecting our learning with new and unique experiences and environments, not only will you benefit from the joy of travel, but the experiential learning pedagogy will also ensure in excess of 80% retention of the world class content. Your investment will continue to exponentially reward you.

Threaded throughout our journey together, we will explore our underlying passion and purpose. As a given, you have influence, reach and energy, currency as global citizens. How you spend that currency will greatly affect those you touch, those around you, those you have the capacity to touch, to effect change within the lives of others. Our challenge to you, while learning, growing and becoming, is how will you spend your currency of philanthropic IMPACT?

Canada | The Leading Edge - Wilderness

19-23 August 2024 

The Leading Edge | Placing you at the edge of, but not beyond your ability, in order to facilitate growth.

“How can we ever know what we’re truly capable of if we’re not trying to do what we don’t think we can, every single day? And that means being afraid and doing it anyway.” – Siri

During your time on The Leading Edge, we will share research on cognitive bias, during critical decision making. What this offers to us is the skill required to understand our personal cognitive bias; allowing us to master skills to reduce human error and when you make a decision in the heat of moment, what will you choose?

Working with our experienced local mountain guides and special forces instructors, guided by your skilled and passionate facilitators, we will lead you through:  

  • Challenge of self - comfortable in being uncomfortable.
  • Mastering mental skills to flourish in discomfort.
  • Level up your control of your fight or flight response.
  • Time for introspection and acknowledgement of self-knowledge.
  • Recognition of cognitive bias exploring the limiting effect on innovation.
  • Recognition and acceptance of instinct; exploring the strengths of ‘running the gut’ against a decision control process.
  • Clarifying what we can control, identifying that which we can influence, and accepting those things outside of our control.
  • Moving rapidly from mental overwhelm to peak performance mindset.
  • Mastering leading.

We’ve chosen environments of extremes for The Leading Edge retreats.

Our retreat rhythm remains aligned to our energy peaks with mornings focused on big learning, deep thinking and reflection. Ready for adventure, we now test our mental skills while building and stretching our resilience and appetite for challenge. 

Some evenings may have us experiencing fine foods, soft beds, and environmental comforts, other evenings, not so much. Here we can drop in and out of comfort, testing our mental skills, the ability to focus, delineate between bias and controls, and leave knowing that we are more than we think we are.

Are you ready for the WILDERNESS challenge?
