When I left the retreat, I had a much clearer vision of our purpose and mission.

60-Second Leader Retreat from Edward Lowe Foundation on Vimeo.
Do you have what it takes to lead your company and your team to the next level?
The answer to this question depends on the quality of your leadership: What kind of leader are you? What does your team think about your leadership skills? Are you really taking your company where it needs to go? Do you feel like your team is just along for the ride, or are they empowered to help you take the business to the next level?
The leader retreat programs help you answer the vital questions you face as the owner of a growing second-stage company or the leader of an organization that supports entrepreneurs.
Beautiful, away-from-the-day-to-day Big Rock Valley provides just the right setting for you to examine — reflectively and with input from your peers — your true level of leadership.
How does your leadership style affect you, your people and your company? How do you identify and build on strengths that will help you lead your organization with greater insight and inspiration?
Leader retreats at Big Rock Valley can lead you to the answers.
Based on the foundation's core belief in the value of peer-to-peer learning, the leader retreat programs are conducted at Big Rock Valley, a property of 2,600 acres of forests, lakes, ponds and streams in southwestern Michigan. Nature provides an incredible backdrop for retreats, as educational components are combined with reflective hikes and other experiences in the outdoors.
The experience itself emphasizes "next-level thinking" in a supportive environment, away from day-to-day operations and management issues.
You're given the opportunity to see your organization in new ways and experience what it means to "think differently" about your organization.
Our unique accommodations enhance this experience with guests staying in renovated farmhouses dating back to the 1800s, as well as five retired boxcars converted to comfortable sleeping units equipped with all of the modern conveniences of a hotel.
The foundation's conference complex, known as Billieville, is styled after a vintage Old West Town. The center contains a dining hall, high-tech conference facility, and various other unique spaces for breakouts and small group functions. Retreat participants enjoy evening conversations around a large campfire centered among the boxcar accommodations.
