About John’s Battlefield Leadership Training & Tours
John believes leadership cannot be solely taught–it must be experienced. Through his own unique lens as a combat veteran and former C-Level executive, John offers interactive tours of Revolutionary War, Civil War, and World War II battlefields–extending from Valley Forge and Yorktown to Gettysburg and Normandy.
All of his battlefield tours are fully customized and experiential; and while they will offer unique historical perspectives, they are primarily designed to convey enduring leadership lessons that directly relate to your company or organization.
Looking For An Innovative Alternative to the Traditional Executive Offsite For Your Team?
John’s “Hallowed Ground: A Tour of Arlington National Cemetery” is a truly transformative leadership development experience easily accessible from Washington, D.C. and the Pentagon. We all lead through our own example! And there is no better place to illustrate that basic truth than at Arlington National Cemetery. One of our nation’s most compelling—and little-known—leadership experiences can be found at Arlington.
Among its tombstones and memorials lie American paupers and presidents; soldiers and civilians; warriors and peacemakers. All of whom gave at least a portion of their lives to the defense and preservation of freedom and liberty. Many of these men and women we can never forget; most we will never know. The lives of these men and women reflect the history of our nation from its inception to today. New chapters of our history are reflected in the tombstones that are added daily, at a rate of 25 per day.
Every man, woman, and child who now rest at Arlington have distinct stories that illustrate leadership, service and sacrifice. From John J. Pershing and Omar Bradley to John F. Kennedy and Joe Louis, John’s tour of Arlington National Cemetery is like no other, providing a unique and unforgettable window to those extraordinary stories in his compelling and inspirational graveside commentary.
John’s Leadership Experience at Arlington National Cemetery is fully interactive and tailored to each group’s unique needs, with a full discussion of leadership themes and notable personalities along the way. Here at Arlington, each of the monuments and tombstones speak to us. All that remains for us is to listen. (1 Day Program)
