Leadership Skills
One of our vehicles for leadership training is our Gettysburg Leadership Experience. Gettysburg was the turning point in the Civil War, a war that was our true American Revolution. In a battle that was perhaps the one battle with the highest stakes, leaders on both sides had to make crucial decisions under pressure. Through interactive scenarios and experiential exercises, your team will have the opportunity to put leadership into practice! You and your team will learn critical lessons like speaking truth to power, building trust, clear communication techniques, strategic thinking, and how staying on top of new technology can be the key difference between winning and losing.

"Doc" Dave Phillips
If you watch the Netflix Series "Spy Ops," you have seen Doc Dave! Doc Dave is a guy who has been there and done that. Famous for being a key member of the first team to hit the ground in Afghanistan after 9-11, Dave epitomizes the military-scholar. He is at home in the far flung parts of the world and in the library where he is a voracious reader and researcher. He serves as an advisor for senior government officials and "on the ground" practitioners. A former Special Forces medic and a biologist, Dave brings his knowledge and humor to our program to help participants understand the natural world.
In addition to his service exploits, he is an author of the book "Jesse Scouts" and has served as a producer for several TV shows and documentaries. He is clearly a jack of all trades and we are pleased to have him on the team!
