We begin our journey with our helicopter ride into the peaks of the British Columbia backcountry.
Testing cognitive bias, during critical decision making, we learn to master skills to reduce human error, under pressure.
Working with our experienced local mountain guides, your facilitators will lead you through:
Challenge of self - comfortable in being uncomfortable | Mastering mental skills to flourish in discomfort | Level up your control of your fight or flight response | Recognition of cognitive bias exploring the limiting effect on innovation | Moving rapidly from mental overwhelm to peak performance mindset.
Our retreat rhythm remains aligned to our energy peaks with mornings focused on big learning, deep thinking and reflection. Ready for adventure, we now test our mental skills while building and stretching our resilience and appetite for survival!
Some evenings may have us experiencing good food, soft beds, and environmental comforts, other evenings, not so much. Here we can drop in and out of comfort, testing our mental skills, the ability to focus, delineate between bias and controls, and leave knowing that we are more than we think we are.
Under pressure is where diamonds are made.
