Retreat to Advance
Eagle, Colorado
Eagle County’s leadership embraced the idea that stepping back is sometimes the most powerful way forward. In partnership with the Elected Leaders Collective, they designed a retreat that brought together staff and leaders across departments.
The result was not just stronger communication, but a renewed sense of shared responsibility.
Check out some of the video testimonials from Eagle County staff members. In it, they reflect candidly on what the retreat unlocked—how it opened space for honest conversations, clarified team dynamics, and gave them tools to return to work with renewed energy and cohesion.
As one participant put it, “We didn’t just check a box. We had real conversations that changed how we work together.”
When Leaders Step Back, They Move Forward Together
Leadership in public office often feels like a sprint that never ends. With constant demands, political pressure, and community expectations, there’s little time for reflection—let alone deep connection or shared vision. That’s why the Elected Leaders Collective created Retreat to Advance.
This isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity.
Retreat to Advance is a structured retreat experience designed specifically for elected bodies, leadership teams, and civic institutions. It creates space for alignment, clarity, and purpose—so that when leaders return, they’re more connected to each other, their mission, and the people they serve.
Laramie, Wyoming
In Laramie, Wyoming, the City Council was entering a period of transition. A newly elected mayor, several new council members, and a wave of fresh energy arrived—full of potential, but without a shared direction.
Rather than charge ahead without clarity, the Laramie City Council chose to pause.
They stepped away from City Hall and gathered in a setting designed for reflection and dialogue. They each explored why they chose public service. They shared stories. They disagreed respectfully. They discovered common ground—not just in policy, but in purpose.
By the end of their Retreat to Advance experience, something had shifted.
Council members who had barely known one another began speaking with a shared voice. Trust had replaced hesitation. Vision replaced fragmentation. And when they returned to their chambers, they didn’t just bring back notes—they brought back alignment.
Their story is not an exception. It’s a model.
