KEYNOTES & EVENTS


Human-Centered Leadership, High Performing Cultures

Frank Bennett delivers keynote talks that help organizations strengthen leaders, elevate teams, and create cultures where people and performance thrive.

The Great Retention: How to Keep Your Best People

Discover how to transform your workplace into a culture that keeps top talent inspired, engaged, and committed. In this one-hour session, you’ll explore the core drivers of why employees choose to stay and learn practical strategies to reduce turnover costs while boosting performance. From creating career growth pathways to building inclusive communities and recognition systems, this workshop equips you with actionable tools to design a magnetic culture where people want to contribute, grow, and thrive.

The Cultivator Mindset: Inspiring Growth Through Coaching Leadership

This keynote challenges leaders to move beyond managing tasks and into cultivating people. Attendees learn how to coach through curiosity, guide teams through change, and create a culture where growth is continuous. The Cultivator Mindset equips leaders to become gardeners of potentially helping both people and performance flourish.

Leading from Your Seat: Leadership is Not About Position

Leadership isn’t defined by a title; it’s defined by action. In this keynote, Frank challenges the traditional view that leadership belongs only to those at the top. He shows how every team member, regardless of role, can influence outcomes, strengthen culture, and drive success.

Audiences will discover how to reframe leadership as a mindset, not a position. As well as take ownership of their impact on team dynamics and results and build confidence to lead through influence, initiative, and everyday actions.

4H Camp Retreat: Where Nature Meets Leadership Growth

CORPORATE RETREATS

Set against the backdrop of the West Kentucky 4-H Camp in Dawson Springs, our corporate retreats blend outdoor team-building activities led by the camp team with Leadership Center workshops designed to strengthen leadership capacity and cultural health. In a fun, relaxed environment, your team will build camaraderie, sharpen skills, and return to work energized and aligned.

What Makes This Retreat Unique

Real Team Building in a Natural Setting
Step away from the ordinary. Your team will bond through outdoor team-building activities of all kinds.

Leadership Learning That Sticks
Beyond adventure, participants engage in Leadership Center sessions focused on human-centered leadership, cultural health, and leading from your seat. These workshops provide practical tools and fresh perspectives your team can apply immediately.

Connection + Clarity
The power of retreat lies in perspective. By stepping outside daily routines, your team gains the space to reflect, realign, and reimagine. This setting fosters strategic clarity, shared vision, and renewed purpose.

Easy on Your Agenda and Your Budget
Thoughtfully designed retreats can accomplish more than scattered meetings. Concentrating time and energy into meaningful shared experiences maximizes impact while reducing travel strain and planning costs.

Challenger Learning Center Retreat: Team Retreats that Spark Connection and Real Growth

CORPORATE RETREATS

Teams need space to breathe, think, and reconnect. This retreat gives them that space in a setting designed for curiosity and collaboration.

You begin the day inside the Challenger Learning Center, where the energy feels closer to a mission control room than a conference room. People loosen up. Walls drop. Real teamwork shows up fast.

Your full day retreat includes:

A mission style team building experience inside the Challenger facility. Groups solve problems together in hands-on challenges that build trust and spark new conversations.

A classroom based professional development session led by The Leadership Center. We teach practical leadership and communication skills that teams can use right away.

A catered lunch served on site. Teams keep talking, connecting, and reflecting instead of scattering or losing momentum.

A private meeting space for your team
A quiet, equipped room where groups can plan, set priorities, or work through the decisions that matter.
