the case studies
REAL SITUATIONS. DEEPER INSIGHTS

Five progressive-disclosure case studies run throughout the intensive. Individually, with a partner and as a group you'll make decisions with incomplete information, receive additional information that changes the dynamics, and reasses your approach. The cases reflect real-life leadership and personal challenges — because life rarely gives you the whole picture. 

The objective is not to arrive at the perfect answer. It is to make sound decisions with the information available, recognize what you may have overlooked, and adapt when the facts change.

why sedona?

Sedona is where I live and where Halftime for a Lifetime    was developed. Its extraordinary landscape offers a change of setting and distance from the routines and distractions that often prevent us from examining how we live and lead.
