Executive Teams
Industry Agnostic
“Getting outside was key. We got outside the corporate hierarchy. We got outside the self-imposed limitations. We built real and authentic relationships with each other, shoulder to shoulder.”
“We came away with new perspectives for our business and leadership strategies, and an understanding that we can, and will, do things personally and professionally more intentionally and aligned with our values. We committed to going deeper in our conversations and spending more time outside.”
“Outside of their comfort zone, outside of normal business practices, and outside in nature.”
“As a leader, you think you have all the time in the world. But you will only be postponing the opportunity to become a smarter and more successful company, a stronger and more connected team, and a more focused and empowered human being.”

“Our inaugural portfolio company ‘First Call’ Leadership Summit was warmly authentic, explosively connective, and singularly impactful. Our most valuable asset is time. We will be holding fast to this philosophy for years to come.”
“BusinessOutside doesn’t just mean being physically outside. It’s about operating outside the norms. When you understand someone deeply, you don’t just manage better, you lead better.”
“BusinessOutside provides teams with a mental, emotional, and physical reset. It’s something all business leaders can benefit from, redefining how our relationships and our work and personal lives can be better integrated.”
“Awesome morning connecting with entrepreneurs and investors in Piedmont Park. It’s so fun to attend a networking event that actually involves the outdoors and physical activity. Great work facilitating meaningful discussions and community connections.”

Leadership Cohorts
Peer groups
“We pushed outside of our comfort zones, outside of corporate norms, and explored outside in nature. From the sunrise hike to the breathing work and cold plunge into Boulder Creek, it was all fantastic. I’m feeling refreshed, energized, and excited about what’s to come.”
“Over two hours, Bart masterfully created an environment where we got to go deep with people we’d never met before. When asked if the experience had created takeaways to bring back to their camps, 100% of the 60ish attendees raised their hands.”

“In my nearly twenty year career, I have been to dozens of conferences. They usually entail windowless hotel ballrooms with uncomfortable chairs and freezing air conditioning. Imagine my delight when I had the opportunity to experience Bart Foster of BusinessOutside’s skillful facilitation.”
