Power Of Choice Retreat
A retreat that outfits you with
the power of choice
to lead your life
versus it leading you… Say
goodbye to stale hotel rooms and common approaches. Come with us
to drop-dead gorgeous ranches in Montana and Arizona to experience a
development retreat where nature is your classroom, horses are your
teachers, and you learn more than you might expect—about yourself and
others—by experiencing what happens when you examine the powerful
choices you make, moment to moment, in your life. Most of us are
unaware of the choices we make because we’re on auto-pilot, reacting to
life unconsciously instead of intentionally.
"The Power of Choice retreat was one of the most profound and
extraordinary experiences of my life! In beautiful surroundings,
I rediscovered my authentic self, powerful and purposeful. I learned
how to let go of my story that prevented me from stepping into
greatness! I left energized and excited about new possibilities in my
work and relationships! I’ll never look at a horse the same way
again!"
-Documentary Producer What Can You Expect?
In the Power of Choice
retreat, we help you achieve breakthroughs that increase the depth of
your emotional intelligence, transforming not only work, but your
personal and family life as well. Attending a Power of Choice
retreat enables you to find and cultivate your personal power, helping
you to more effectively lead and constructively influence others. It’s about your power—how to use it, how to manage it, and how to be clear about the choices you make with it. Whether you are a leader, a follower, or some of both, the Power of Choice retreat will give you an improved ability to: - Know if your emotional reactions are ruling your decisions and shift
- Better manage your negative self talk
- Manage your emotions by understanding how to use emotions as information
- Learn how vulnerability can lead to connection, trust, and intimacy
- Communicate more openly and tell people what’s really going on with you
- Not take mistakes and upsets so hard
- Listen deeply behind the words for feelings that may not be communicated
- Take more personal responsibility for your behavior and how you affect others instead of blaming them or becoming a victim
- Resolve conflict more quickly—in hours instead of days or weeks
- State your concerns and feelings without being angry or resigned
- Stand in the face of someone being upset and not take it personally
- Understand other people’s feelings and concerns and get curious about their perspective
For
those of you profoundly curious and committed to personal or
professional growth, this retreat will take you beyond where you’ve
been before.
You will love the results. So
will your board of directors, peers, team members, direct reports,
friends, spouse, and family. “I came away knowing
and experiencing the personal power of discovering how changing on the
inside so dramatically impacted how I functioned in my business and
personal life.” -Senior Vice President Why Horses?
It’s not about the horse, it’s about you!
 Some
programs teach you through rocks and ropes, games and role-plays.
We don’t. We use horses to help us teach at our retreats,
harnessing your awareness of emotion over intellect, and intuition over
reason. What can a horse teach you? Plenty. Horses
are consummate facilitators in the work of human development, acting as
1,100-pound biofeedback agents offering constant and instant
feedback. Because horses see through the slightest incongruities
of emotion and intention, they help you re-examine habits and patterns
that keep you from connecting with certain people, situations, and
results. Real time, right now! "The way you read horses and tie it back to us as people is phenomenal!" -Executive Director  Your
growth comes from being able to make better decisions in the moment by
better understanding what keeps you from making powerful, life and
relationship enhancing choices. Your insights don’t come from trying to
ride a horse. Rather they come from trying to read a horse—by tuning
into the feedback you get from them based on your own ability to
connect. Through working with a horse, without a halter, reins, or
saddle in a round pen, you will deepen your awareness of personal
issues, core feelings, and areas of body tension that may inhibit your
ability to reach your full potential. Your time with a horse in
the round pen becomes a powerful adjunct to traditional development
tools.
“After 5 months I can now say with
assurance, your program worked with me! It gave me some new tools to
use, and experiences to reflect on, in leading people to accomplish
great things. If “big energy” will work with horses, it will work with
people and I prove it everyday!” -Senior Vice President Lasting Results
Our participants have told us the Power of Choice
retreat is a life-changing experience. During the retreat you
will feel re-energized, have a profound sense of purpose, and step more
fully into your personal power.  To help you sustain the enhanced level of self-awareness you achieve during The Power of Choice,
we provide each participant with three one-hour, one-on-one coaching
sessions after graduating from one of our retreats. This
important benefit comes at no extra charge—it’s included in your
retreat fee. In addition, we set up ways for you to integrate the
practices you learn into your workplace and personal life.
“This workshop provided me with great insight at a time in my life when I needed it.” -Retired Dentist and new Business Owner When you have graduated from a Power of Choice
retreat, you may elect to have further personalized coaching from one
of the Leadership Outfitter guides. We call this our Lasting Results
program and offer it in 6-month segments. This dynamic follow-up
program enables you to build on what you accomplished during the Power of Choice retreat as you continue to make progress.
