One of the great things about my job is the chance to meet people from all walks of life. Mountain climbers, ministers, PhDs, students, engineers, fashion designers, biochemists and so on. My newest acquaintance is Omar Khan, who I "met" through his writings and videos at his consultancy, Sensei International.
Omar is a global leadership expert based in New York who has led leadership retreats all over the world. Omar, however, calls them leadership journeys, which are somewhere between the classroom and the outdoor adventure. The best of them involves a team that embarks on an actual journey that combines the hard data and analysis of the classroom with the excitement and buzz of a physical adventure.
Recently, Omar led a Fortune 500 management team to the wilds of Illinois and Wisconsin in a program designed in part by Ed Graziano and his team at Corporate Event Interactive.
To learn more about leadership retreats, read the article I wrote for Ed and Omar that was just published in Illinois Meetings & Events magazine. Here's a hint: they don't use PowerPoint.
