Vistage CEO Climb | The CEO’s Extraordinary Why

Friday, February 25, 2022 8:00 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. PST

The CEO's Extraordinary Why: How to Live and Lead Successfully

Get a deeper understanding of your own purpose and your most compelling drivers in life during this CEO Climb Event. One that you’ll remember for years to come.

As a participant, you’ll begin by identifying what truly matters most to you, both professionally and personally. You will then be led on a journey of deep reflection to clarify the all-important drivers behind those priorities – the ‘why’ behind the ‘what’ – to gain insight about your purpose and what a life of true significance means to you.

It’s a big, deep, truly unforgettable experience that many have called ‘transformational.’

Brett conducts this highly interactive CEO Climb Event by employing artful storytelling, spontaneous humor, and authentic vulnerability to create a safe environment for guests to embrace and express their own emotions. He sometimes even taps into his Broadway-actor parents’ heritage to act out a movie scene or two to craft a one-of-a-kind experience that will be remembered for years to come.

What you will learn:
How many times in life do we challenge ourselves, and our businesses, with lofty goals only to discover that our achievement ultimately fails to satisfy? When articulating a vision, setting goals and choosing where to invest our time, do we think deeply enough about:

  • Who are we?
  • What we’re passionate about?
  • What we, and our companies, are uniquely gifted to accomplish?
  • Why any of these things really matter in the first place?

You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of your own purpose and your most compelling drivers in life. You’ll also identify relationships that might need attention and learn a powerful strategy for pressing ‘reset’ to get you back on track.
