Flagship
An immersive, multi-day leadership retreat for women in hospitality and travel—created to make space for deeper reflection and leadership growth that strengthens alignment, agency, and impact.
General registration opens October 1, 2026
The Flagship Experience
Immersive. Reflective. Spacious.
Flagship creates something increasingly difficult to find in everyday leadership: enough time and distance from daily demands to examine how you are leading, what matters most, and what you want to practice next.
Across two retreat days, participants move between practical leadership development, facilitated reflection, conversation, peer learning, shared meals, and intentional time between sessions. The pace is deliberately spacious so insight has time to become meaningful application.
The experience is designed to help women return to their work with greater alignment, agency, and impact—not simply with more information.
What’s Included
Room to learn. Time to connect.
Immersive Leadership Development
Plenary learning, facilitated conversations, breakout experiences, and practical leadership development designed for reflection and real-world application.
Peer Learning & Relationships
Intentional opportunities to learn alongside women across hospitality and travel—through structured conversation as well as the moments that happen between sessions.
Meals, Conversation & Shared Experiences
Shared meals and informal time create space for perspective, conversation, and relationships beyond the formal agenda.
Two Virtual Leadership Cohorts
Two facilitated virtual sessions after Newport help participants revisit what surfaced, apply what they learned, and continue putting their leadership choices into practice.
