Normandy Leadership Experience: D-Day

Normandy, France

The Normandy Leadership Experience applies the lessons of one of the most important military campaigns in modern history for your team to grow.  Battlefield Leadership facilitators utilize the almost endless case studies of this invasion so your organization can benefit from American, British, Canadian, and Germany examples.  The time spent in Normandy will leave your leaders ready to address your organizations’ challenges as well as transform them as individual leaders to be more ready for the future. 

The scale and scope of the Normandy landings, as well as the landscape, will not only leave an impression on your team, but will offer them an unforgettable experience that advances your organization.  From Eisenhower’s decision to launch the invasion to the culture of different militaries to the assault on Omaha Beach, this program offers a grand analysis of leadership at all levels confronting varying challenges and risk.   Your team will truly grasp how a leader’s intent cascades throughout a team, the role of training and planning in developing a healthy culture, and how to provide effective leadership under the most trying circumstances.
