Unique opportunity

Our goal is to give you tools to hone in on your soft skills.  We will host small, advice driven, closed door discussions with leading legal and business professionals.  These sessions will provide up close and personal feedback from seasoned executives who can help guide your career.  This is a unique opportunity to step back and evaluate your organization's current circumstance and to make positive impactful change.  Step out of the conference room and onto the golf course or spa with fresh perspectives, meaningful insights and new relationships.  Strategic recreational activities and wellness opportunities will give you a chance to connect and implement your new skill set.  This exclusive retreat promises to be a valuable and impactful experience.
