About this Event
Join a licensed battlefield historian and Down Set Lead facilitator Rod Bourn as they guide you chronologically through the Civil War battlefield in a modern coach bus.
Stopping at key sites ( , the , the (Bloody Lane), and the , etc.) you'll learn about the events that happened in September 1862: who the leaders were, the decisions they made and why. The group then delves into how those battlefield decisions serve as lessons that can be applied in leading today’s organizations.
The coach bus leaves from I-70/695 Park & Ride at 8 a.m. and arrives back by 6 p.m. Light snacks and drinks are provided. A mid-day break will provide you with time to either 1) explore the town square or 2) grab a bite at a local restaurnat with the guides (food not included in price).
Past participants have described this day as "amazing", "impactful", and "great for building a better understanding within our team".
Individuals, small groups, and work teams are all invited to attend!
