Alaska Leadership Adventures
Bring your team on a 4-day leadership learning adventure of a lifetime!
We start with a comprehensive assessment of your leadership style and the activities that drive you to succeed – this, before you even walk in the door. The result is a personal leadership profile that identifies the qualities and activities that energize you as a leader.
We’ll spend the first day in the classroom, learning about your leadership style and communication skills. You’ll discover why some leadership activities energize you while others drain you. You’ll discover your preferred work style, your expectations of yourself and others, and your instinctive needs. You’ll learn what causes you to feel stressed or behave irrationally, and why. You’ll learn about the temperaments of the others in your group, and discover why misunderstands and miscommunication occur, and how to communicate and give feedback in a way that’s understood and effective. Finally, we’ll spend some time preparing for the adventure of the next two days.
On days two and three, we’ll hit the trail for an overnight 25-mile backpacking adventure in the breathtaking Chugach Mountains or Denali State Park. We’ll hike either the Crow Pass Trail or Kesugi Ridge (depending on where the weather is forecasted to be better). Along the way, we’ll continue our discussion of leadership temperament and communication. We’ll see how various temperament types play out during a group adventure.
On day four, we’ll return to the classroom for a half-day debrief, wrap up and graduation, and finish by noon.

Warning: This course includes a 25-30 mile hike through rugged terrain, carrying a backpack weighing up to 30 pounds. Participants are responsible for being in reasonably good physical condition when they arrive. It is also critical to have well-broken-in hiking boots, as blisters can make the trek unpleasant. The trek will go rain or shine, so proper clothing is very important. Click here for a recommended list of items you are responsible to bring on the backpacking trip.
Lodging:
You will need to reserve lodging in Anchorage on the evenings of day one and day three. You may also need to reserve lodging for evenings before and after the course. Click here for a list of hotels near the classroom site. Recommend making hotel reservations as early as possible, as hotels in Anchorage tend to fill up in summer months.
