Breakthrough Leadership Experience

A transformational process that will launch your leaders to greater success.
Watch the Experience

True breakthroughs are born from extraordinary shared experiences

This all-inclusive Leadership Retreat is unlike anything your team expects or any meeting they’ve ever experienced.

This powerful event, led by Dan Thurmon, will transform the way attendees see themselves as leaders and how they relate to one another as a team.

Because the experience incorporates physical challenge, thoughtful work, and emotional impact, the learning will be profound and long lasting, both personally and professionally.

As with all of Dan’s work, specific objectives are developed through collaborative planning.
You can expect to:
  • Strengthen leadership culture and team unity.
  • Break free from outdated ideas and limiting behaviors.
  • Design personalized pathways for professional and personal growth.
  • Push one another toward continuous improvement.
  • Forge bonds of trust, respect, transparency, and authentic friendship.
  • Move beyond perceived limits to confront and overcome fear and uncertainty.
  • Experience adventure and nature in a world-renowned destination that blends safety with innovation.

Why Adventure Matters

Predictable settings create predictable results. Breakthroughs, however, emerge from the unpredictable.

The most powerful ideas surface when we step away from the familiar and immerse ourselves in places that feel remote, new, and exhilarating. In these environments, where physical, mental, and even spiritual boundaries are stretched, unexpected insights and epiphanies arise.

Dan curates every aspect of the adventure with intention, shaping the context, guiding each component, and elevating every exceptional moment.

The experience itself becomes a catalyst for examining personal beliefs and limitations, and ultimately learning to rise above them.

At the same time, Dan embodies the very leadership principles he teaches, making the lessons not just conceptual but tangible, multi-sensory, and deeply immersive.

Challenging Experiences for Every Level

The Breakthrough Experience offers exhilarating activities, like zip-lining, designed to spark growth and excitement.

Safety is always paramount, with world-renowned leaders overseeing every operation.

Participants may choose to embrace these adventures or opt for equally meaningful alternatives. No matter your preferences or physical abilities, everyone is fully included and engaged in the journey.

"Not only did we gain insights and breakthroughs on a professional level, but also a level of personal clarity I hadn’t had in a long time. On top of all that, we had some adventure thrills we’re still talking about to this day. If you want to make a breakthrough, this is a one-of-a-kind, must attend experience!"

Our Favorite Location

While The Breakthrough Experience can be hosted at a variety of venues, our favorite is Banning Mills Resort in Whitesburg, Georgia.

When Dan discovered this resort, he instantly recognized it as the perfect setting for his distinctive approach to experiential learning.

Nestled about 45 minutes from the Atlanta airport, its remote and secluded location immediately removes participants from their everyday environment.

This “off the beaten path” setting encourages people to step off balance, heightening presence and readiness for the transformative experiences ahead.

Safety comes first.

Banning Mills is not only home to the world’s longest zip line but also a leader in safety innovation. Their patented system ensures that once participants are on the course, it’s impossible to go “off cable.”

With rigorous redundancies, exacting design standards, and meticulously maintained courses, every element is engineered for maximum safety and peace of mind.

An Unforgettable, All-Inclusive Experience

Banning Mills offers a wide range of activities to suit every level of challenge, effort, and time commitment.

The setting feels rustic and remote, yet delivers excellent food, comfortable accommodations, and warm hospitality. A few special “Treehouse Rooms,” accessed by swinging bridges, add a unique touch.

This destination is especially popular during the summer, so securing dates early ensures we can reserve both rooms and adventure experiences.

Thanks to our established relationship with Banning Mills, we provide a turnkey, all-inclusive experience that makes planning seamless and stress-free.
