I will be participating in a Leadership Intensive program with world renowned author and leadership coach Stephen McGhee and his associate and long time friend of mine, Doug Freimuth, in September. The leadership program will be built around a three day fly fishing intensive. This promises to be a most productive program aimed at developing strong leadership skills using fly fishing as the Instructive vehicle.

Stephen McGhee is a world-renowned author and leadership Coach.

Dough Freimuth is my long-time friend and assistant to Stephen McGhee.

From a cabin deck at 4UR Ranch , the mountain vista stretches off into the distance.

Instructed fishing on the plentiful waters of the Ranch is most rewarding.

The beautiful waters of 4UR Ranch reach on for miles, all of them great fishing.

This first-of-its-kind weekend intensive will bring together one of the most renowned minds in the world of leadership coaching, Stephen McGhee (www.mcgheeleadership.com), his associate and long time fishing companion, Douglas Freimuth, and one of the finest fly fishing innovators, teachers and speakers of the past 40 years, Gary Borger (www.garyborger.com). This intensive will take place over two and one half days on the historic and beautiful 4UR Ranch and fishing lodge in Mineral County, CO. (http://4urranch.com)

This special weekend is for five select, highly motivated people whose goal is to stretch their ideas of themselves and their lives, and produce some useful transformational results they can immediately begin to apply. The vehicle for this will be Stephen’s group and individual coaching, combined with Gary Borger’s lessons on how the art and discipline of fly fishing can be a springboard and metaphor for making real life changes. This weekend will focus on getting to the core of what it really means to be authentic, and tap into the power, integrity, balance, and patience within one’s own life. As a participant, you will have the opportunity to choose a “story” or “idea” in your life that you want to move past, and then be empowered to set yourself free and achieve permanently sustained results. You will create an objective for the weekend, and work toward your vision in a powerful and creative way. You will experience converting your potential in this area of excellence, so that you may apply it to your business and life. The best part of all this, is that each day your personal leadership development will be integrated with the concepts of fly fishing in a fun and lasting way.

Logistics 

The intensive will begin on the evening of Thursday Sept 19th where we will begin the leadership work, guided by Stephen, on our objectives for the next two days.

We will then have a presentation by Gary Borger on a facet of fly fishing

Day 1: We’ll begin with a quick check-in on our personal chosen objective and then we head to the river for a morning session of fishing. Each session, two guests will be guided by Doug and Gary with one guest each session accompanying Stephen for a private fishing/ coaching session on the water. We will then meet for lunch and a casting workshop with Gary. After lunch, we will split up again into different pairs and fish the afternoon session.

Following a sumptuous evening meal, Stephen and Gary will conduct discussions and answer all questions regarding both coaching and/or fishing.

Day 2: We move forward on our objectives and build on what we learned from day 1.

Morning of Day 3: Final breakfast, getting clear session and closing/check out.

This is also an opportunity to continue to learn from the best doing something we all love: fly fishing.
