The Experience

Living:
Work + Play

“I don’t think of work as work and play as play. It’s all living.”
“Memories are made when you're traveling - not when you're chained to your desk.”
“I live half the year on Necker, a tiny island in the Caribbean, and it's always full of people in party mode. Everyone comes up to the big house, and we'll be dancing until the early hours.”

Richard Branson

The Five Benefits

Experiential Learning

Learning gets empowered by memorable experiences. Listen and you forget. Experience and you remember. Get immersed in an adventure where you stimulate each other’s minds, solve each other’s problems, and share growth dreams while on balmy sands, holding a glass of champagne, and watching the sunset in crystal clear water. Nothing you’ll forget!

Rejuvenated Motivation

Jobs in sales are tough and sometimes frustrating. Motivation must be energized to consistently sustain top performance. A unique experience like this fuels your passion, kindles the inner fire, and makes you go back to your office with an unquenchable thirst to achieve more. Beautiful memories with peer sales professionals will give meaning to your work.

Escape Travel

Everyone loves to travel with family and old friends. But sometimes the best experiences come when you meet a group of like-minded business professionals with the same brilliance, interests, and passion, all there to build indelible memories together. Everyone craves to tell their story and to know yours. You can leave all your problems behind. For a few days, worry only about feeling truly alive.

Networking with New Friends

Networking in a traditional setting is shallow. Conversations are thin, Meaningful bonds are forged by staying together for days as a cohesive group, sharing emotions, dining, playing, laughing, and dancing until the early hours… simply living life to the fullest! The right context makes people open up. Networking becomes powerful. True friendship develops. Business partners are found.

Cheaper than a Vacation

You might even end up paying less than you would if you went on a vacation on your own. This is professional business training from an award-winning university professor. Always verify if it applies to your specific case, of course, but it could well be tax deductible, or you can ask for reimbursement from your employer. If you are self-employed, a business owner, a freelancer, or an independent contractor on 1099, business training is tax deductible. If you are an employee on W2 you can try to ask for employer reimbursement for development expenses, as your employer might be entitled to tax-free educational assistance.
