In the world of sports, elite athletes spend 99% of their time training – refining their technique, building their mindset, and preparing their bodies for that 1% of the time they actually spend performing in competition.

In business, it’s exactly the opposite.

Executive leaders are constantly “on the field.” 99% of their time is spent performing – making decisions, leading teams, solving problems, delivering results. And if they’re lucky, maybe 1% is left for growth, learning, or self-reflection.

More often than not, that number is closer to zero.

There’s no space for strategy when you’re putting out fires. There’s no time for self-awareness when your calendar is bursting. And there’s certainly no room for mindfulness or deep connection when the demands of business never stop.

At IDEAS+LEADERS, we believe that has to change.

We’re introducing a new format designed specifically for executive teams: Leadership Retreats that combine strategic growth with personal renewal.

These aren’t your typical off-sites. These are intentional, immersive experiences where you:

• Step away from your desk, your inbox, and your endless to-do list
• Mastermind with other brilliant business leaders facing the same challenges
• Learn and practice high-level leadership and communication skills
• Exchange best practices in a relaxed, trusting environment
• Carve out space for mindfulness, yoga, nature walks, and self-reflection
• Treat yourself like the leader you are — because you cannot pour from an empty cup

For a few days, you get to be the learner, the visionary, the human behind the title.
And when you return? You do it with clarity, energy, and renewed leadership capacity – not just for yourself, but for your entire team and organization.

This is more than a retreat. It’s a reset. And it might be the most strategic thing you do this year.
