Senior Business Executives Train with the Blue Angels Foundation and National Flight Academy

In all areas of life, progress is not perfectly linear. Inevitably, even top-performers will encounter setbacks and reach plateaus. What sets truly elite individuals and organizations apart is how they respond to setbacks and extreme challenges. The best use these events as inspiration and catalysts for improvement, but there can be risks. That is why many of the world’s most elite teams opt for a preemptive alternative- immersion training.
Whether you’re celebrating a recent success or facing a new challenge, immersive team training can be a very cost efficient and low risk. The most effective immersive training events create demanding, out-of-the-box situations that require the team to optimize their Performance Triad (Passion, Free Will, and Focus), oriented culture, and strengthen the execution basics of planning, briefing, debriefing, communication, and trust.
In this spirit, we were thrilled to join the Blue Angels Foundation at the National Flight Academy in Pensacola Florida for a special immersion training event conducted for 30 senior executives of one of the top 50 Fortune 500 companies.
