Hi, I'm Otis.I'm your digital guide here at The Leadership Lodge, where leaders come to level up without all the trust-fall clichés. Before you meet the real humans on our team, I’ll ask you a few quick questions about who you are, what you do, and what kind of leadership magic (or chaos) you’re trying to create. Don’t worry, no corporate jargon, no long forms, and absolutely no “circle of synergy” talk. Just a few honest prompts to help us get to know you and your goals. So… ready to dive in and help me make me a great first impression? Which best describes you? I'm an individual that wants to invest in myself, but I'm not sure where to start I represent an organization that's beginning the planning stages for a retreat Investing in yourself is a key piece of professional growth. What stage are you at in your career? I'm just getting started in my career. I'm established, but still early in my career. I'm advanced in my career and looking for the next step. What matters most to you? Exceptional facilitation Having a long term view; a program that grows with me Minimizing initial commitment Great. Here's what I'd recommend. Prouty L3 Cohort-based and highly experiential, the Prouty L3 Leadership Development Program offers an intensive and collaborative learning experience that enhances the capabilities of your leaders.

Womens' Leadership Summit Hosted by the Leadership Lodge Our Women’s Leadership Summit is a mighty two-day experience designed for women at every level — from the “I’m still figuring this out” stage to the “I run the room” stage. It’s equal parts inspiration, skill-building, and “wow, these women are incredible.” If you’re looking for a boost, a reset, or just a room full of brilliant leaders who get it, this is your spot.

Abby Oxborough is the Director of Leadership Programming at Sugar Lake Lodge - a title that basically means she’s in charge of turning good leaders into great ones (and occasionally talking them off metaphorical ledges). With more than two decades of experience in leadership development, Abby blends sharp insight, practical strategy, and just the right amount of sarcasm to keep things honest. Whether she’s guiding executives through complex team dynamics or helping new managers discover their voice, Abby has a gift for making leadership feel both approachable and refreshingly human - no trust falls required. Peter Bailey has a “driving” passion for positive thinking; he proclaims it proudly on his car license plate, which reads: CREATE. Honk if you see him pass by. And create Peter does. As president of The Prouty Project, he develops transformational experiences that improve collaboration by helping people expand their life skills, belief systems and communication processes. Sam Smith is known by his clients and colleagues for expanding curiosity, uncovering insights and driving action. He lives by his two favorite questions — “What if?” and “Why not?”— and his two favorite statements — “We can!” and “Let’s go!” For close to two decades, Sam has worked with executives to drive effective change, create adaptive advantage and accelerate meaningful innovation. He does this by designing and facilitating experiential solutions including executive retreats, strategic planning engagements and leadership development offerings — all of which enable Sam to do what he is most passionate about: helping people see and believe in what’s possible.
