Radical Sabbatical is the most comprehensive, experiential leadership development opportunity of its kind.

Your organization wants more than typical leaders – it wants trusted change agents capable of energizing people, creating new markets and driving results.

Combine this with the realization that in the 21st Century, business and society have developed a symbiotic relationship. A company (and its leaders) can no longer limit its focus to economic factors. Now companies are measured and judged on social factors as well.

Today, leaders are expected to be successful business leaders AND good stewards of society.

Radical Sabbatical was developed to meet this need. It is a highly experiential development program designed to help create high-performance executive teams by placing them in real settings with real issues.

Participants travel to Costa Rica where some of the world’s richest rainforests exist. Costa Rica is an amazing teaching environment, helping an elite group of executives understand the value of sustainability and how we manage our businesses, our communities, and our lives.

SVI delivers real, life-changing perspective, as its facilitators guide executives through a leadership journey of a lifetime. Throughout four days, participants establish a firm and meaningful leadership foundation that aligns with their personal values and business needs. Following this, participants engage in a project designed to address an authentic social issue. During this phase, leaders aren’t just observers, but rather active participants in addressing and helping to solve some of the pressing problems facing Costa Rica.

This is the most comprehensive executive development program of its kind. SVI's Radical Sabbatical programs help executives become extraordinary personally and professionally.
