The Connected Leader Experience

Two Days. 30 Leaders. One Connected Experience.
Mark Ostach

“You spend your career creating exceptional experiences for others. When was the last time you invested in yourself?”

For two days, step away from the demands of running your club and invest in the leader behind the title.
Return with renewed energy, greater clarity, and relationships with fellow executives who understand your world.
