Leadership Lessons from D-Day

What’s Included

5 Day Program

The D-Day Leadership Experience in Normandy is tailored to meet your intent, objectives and desired focus in leadership training for a once-in-a-lifetime experience that extends well beyond the conventional tour in historical substance and leadership theory. The program provides its participants with a transformative leadership experience that’s memorable, meaningful, and one that has an enduring value on corporate participants’ critical thinking and decision-making process.

5 days is an ideal duration for the D-Day Leadership Experience & Training; however, the timeframe can be tailored to meet the needs of a corporate leadership training experience that will convey real value for an organization. The program delivers a high ROI along with an experience that is custom made, addressing the corporate leadership training needs for your organization. The Leadership Experience allows participants to visit key highlights on the Normandy Battlefield, with an interactive, full discussion at every site – demonstrating how critical thinking at all levels during D-Day and the Battle for Normandy can be applied to today’s corporate leadership’s decision-making process.

By design, all of our visits begin at the Normandy American Cemetery and include visits to Omaha, Utah, Sword, Juno and Gold Beaches, as well as Pointe du Hoc, Sainte Mere Eglise, la Fiere Bridge, Sainte Marie du Mont, Pegasus Bridge, and Brecourt Manor.  Participants will visit the very locations where the 2nd Ranger Battalion, the 6th Airborne, and Easy Company fought the opening salvos of the Battle for Normandy and beyond.

Through fully interactive on-site discussions, you will get to know leaders like Major Dick Winters, Lieutenant Colonel James Rudder, Brigadier General Norman Cota, Frank D. Peregory, The Niland brothers, Capitaine Philippe Kieffer, C.S.M. Stanley Hollis, Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt Jr., Major General Jim Gavin, Major John Howard…and a veritable multinational cast of leaders–through their eyes, and through the critical decisions they made–at an important turning point in world history.  By walking the ground they walked, seeing the obstacles they faced and understanding the extraordinary sacrifices they and their men made, you will leave Normandy with a profound view of leadership, service, courage and responsibility.
