Workshop Description:

Who has been the most important influence in your life? What legacy did they leave behind, and what legacy do you want to leave for those who follow you?

Walks with the Governor is a unique leadership development workshop inspired by the life of Gov. Winthrop Rockefeller. Participants are encouraged to embrace his collaborative approach to creating change by engaging in deep personal reflection, honest team building conversations, and exploring a legacy dedicated to progress.

While you're with us atop Petit Jean Mountain, expect to visit various locations on the Governor’s former homestead and learn about the rich history of this special place.

We engage our resources and Winthrop Rockefeller’s values to convene purposeful gatherings on his historic cattle ranch. We do this work by employing the “Rockefeller Ethic” which represents the belief that diversity of opinion, engaging in respectful dialogue, and practicing collaborative problem solving combine to create transformational change. The productive energy of our mountaintop location coupled with the highest levels of hospitality ensure all who come here are able to do their best work.
