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.
