Speakers
We believe that true transformation requires determination, dedication, and the right guidance.
We don’t do passive lectures. We do active disruption. Every session is engineered to challenge bias, spark innovation, and unlock the courage to lead differently.
Clipped to steel cables along sheer cliffs, the Via Ferrata forces leaders to confront fear, trust the system, and commit fully to each step forward. This is not just a climb — it’s a masterclass in risk management, calculated decision-making, and trust under pressure. Leaders learn to embrace discomfort, focus in high-stakes moments, and push through fear with clarity — exactly what modern leadership demands.
Ascending a mountain trail is leadership in motion. Some move quickly, others need encouragement, and the group only succeeds if it reaches the summit together. Hiking becomes a living metaphor for strategic pacing, resilience, and the balance between individual drive and collective progress. At elevation, leaders practice zooming out to see the bigger picture while still managing the small steps underfoot.
On an e-bike, the pedal assist changes the game: you still pedal, but the innovation accelerates what you can accomplish. Leaders experience firsthand how technology doesn’t replace effort — it amplifies it. The ride illustrates lessons in leveraging innovation, adapting to new tools, and understanding when to conserve energy vs. when to accelerate. Leaders return with clarity on how to adopt disruption without losing authenticity.
Walking through history reveals that every generation faced disruption, reinvention, and moments of choice. A historical tour becomes more than sightseeing; it’s a mirror for modern leadership, showing how past leaders navigated uncertainty, built communities, and left legacies that still shape today. Participants reflect on their own leadership timeline: What stories will be told of their decisions? What kind of legacy are they building now?
This conference is more than a schedule of sessions — it’s an immersive experience. Staying in Telluride keeps you at the center of it all: fireside dialogues after dark, sunrise hikes, and impromptu conversations with fellow leaders who may just become future collaborators.
