Future-Ready Executive Leadership Camp
Tuscany, May 3-10, 2025
We live in extraordinary times—defined by constant change, growing complexity, and an ever-increasing need for resilience, innovation, and adaptability. At the same time, people are seeking more from work: purpose, connection, and inspiring leadership. Yet, for most, this remains out of reach—only 2 in 10 employees globally are engaged in their jobs.
One of today’s greatest leadership challenges is embracing future-ready leadership skills and creating cultures where people and businesses thrive together—both essential for future success.
The Future-Ready Executive Leadership Camp provides a unique opportunity to develop these critical skills. Facilitated by Corporate Spring’s experts—who’ve helped thousands of leaders build future-ready mindsets and thriving, high-performing cultures—this exclusive retreat is held annually in Tuscany’s breathtaking landscapes. Over five days, 12 senior leaders will explore how to navigate change, tackle complexity, and build human-centric, high-performing organizations. Participants will develop powerful mindsets and gain actionable tools to lead with confidence, clarity, and impact.
More than a program, it’s a rare chance to reset, reflect, and reimagine your leadership journey. Amid Tuscany’s beauty, renowned cuisine, and inspiring company, you’ll engage in meaningful conversations, learn from experts and peers, and forge connections that endure far beyond the retreat.
Ready to grow and make a lasting impact? Apply now—limited to 12 participants, once a year. Will you be one of them?
Key Take-Aways:
1. Gain New Perspectives: Step away from the demands of daily life to reflect on your leadership journey and reconnect with what truly matters.
2. Navigate Complexity with Confidence: Learn proven strategies to lead through change, drive innovation, and inspire your team in an ever-evolving world.

Local transportation is not of the best in the area so we recommend that you either rent a car, take a taxi, or ask us to arrange transportation for you (we can negotiate lower rates with private drivers,)
-
Haha. Not unless you really want to. The morning yoga is of course optional but classes will be very light, so just bring some loose and comfortable clothes, and you’ll be good to go.

Not a problem at all. Please just let us know in advance and we will notify the chef who will make sure your dietary needs are met.
