Indeed CEO's have been faced with a white water economy. Whether companies survive and thrive in a tough economy is often dependent on the same survival skills used in nature, including the ability of CEO's to "Adapt to Changing Conditions". According to Rosemary Rein, Ph.D, author of "Go Wild! Survival Skills for Business and Life" that includes developing creative problem solving skills and facing financial rapids by getting down in the boat when necessary through financial belt tightening.
Rosemary Rein, Ph.D is the Author of Go Wild! Survival Skills for Business and Life and a contributing author of "Blueprint for Success with Dr. Stephen Covey. Dr. Rein hosts CEO mastermind retreats for such organizations as the FPO, Young President's Organization, combining executive training in Creative Problem Solving and Business Innovation with activities that develop the Head and Heart of a Leader.
"When Executive fly through the rain-forest canopy in parachute equipment, they also identify the business as usual practices and paradigms they need to let go of when they jump off the platform. When white water rafting, executives focus on increasing their adaptability and just as a great guide learns to read the river, keynote speakers focus on reading current economic trends."
Despite cutbacks in executive travel, Retreats Costa Rica has seen an increase in their executive retreats to Costa Rica which this year was ranked "The happiest place on the planet" . According to Dr. Rein, this is in part because of the focus of Retreats Costa Rica's Executive Leadership Programs on producing real results, i.e. workable ideas to critical business challenges through application of the creative problem solving model. Rein also notes Costa Rica's affordability and convenience (2.5 hour flight from Miami, 4.5 hours from New York) and qualification as a tax-deductible location for business meetings makes it an attractive destination for corporate event planners.
From exotic and private tent camps to luxury resorts, Retreats Costa Rica coordinates both programming and complete travel logistics.
