Leadership Retreat Overview
January 3-6, 2002
 Kathleen Kane, Ph.D. and Lance Giroux

The University of San Francisco, through Executive Education, announces a "Winter - 2002" offering of the USF Leadership Retreat. This event is part of our commitment to global leadership development of future organizational leaders.

Background and seminar overview
On August 9th Dr. Kathy Kane, Professor of Management & Organizational Behavior at the School of Business and Management, and Lance Giroux, President of Allied Ronin Leadership Training & Consulting, opened the second USF Leadership Retreat with 36 participants at the McLaren Building, USF, and conducted the remaining sessions at Westerbeke Ranch in Sonoma, CA. Kane and Giroux will conduct the next Retreat January 3-6, 2002.

This powerful program is unique in that it is open to USF students and alumni, their work teams and spouses, and professionals from the general public. It is one of USF’s most exciting innovative programs. In a beautiful setting absent the noise and distractions of today's work world you will sharpen your competitive edge and focus directly on your personal effectiveness and professional development.

The Kane/Giroux team will use a blend of cutting edge experiential and traditional teaching and business models. Today's professionals are faced with: growing responsibilities and tasks; more to do and less time in which to do it; the complexities of an ever accelerating business pace; daily advances in technology; and a need to have a fulfilling personal and family life. Individuals and teams seldom take the time to slow down, look at and connect with:

• What's really important to their own well-being;
• The soul of their businesses;
• The glue that keeps healthy organizations alive and thriving;
• The personal and professional relationships that foster long range effectiveness.

Date and Location
The Winter 2002 offering of the USF Leadership Retreat will open at 6 pm, January 3, on the USF Main Campus, and will continue January 4-6 at Mayacamas Ranch Conference Center located a few miles west of the town of Calistoga in the heart of the California wine country. In an area abundant with California heritage and natural beauty, Mayacamas Ranch is surrounded by historical wineries and points of interest. It was selected because of its serenity and ease of accessibility to metropolitan San Francisco as well as the vineyards and mineral spas of Calistoga and the Napa Valley.
