Programs
Transformational, Not Transactional
We offer deep-drilling exploration to tackle personal and professional challenges and become well-rounded humans who thrive and excel.
We are seasoned business executives, focused on the transformation of today’s leaders. In this fast-moving, demanding environment, executives have limited opportunity to devote time and energy to their own development as leaders. We at Vast Sky are artisans in developing leaders who are insightful, empathetic, fulfilled, and who are in tune with themselves and the people around them.
  • 6, 9 or 12 months duration:
    approx 2 sessions per month
  • Ongoing HR / Executive Sponsor Alignment
  • 360 degree feedback
  • Possible assessments and inventories included: Emotional Intelligence, Hogan, DiSC, FIRO-B, etc
  • Coaches with deep business experience to find the ideal
    executive match
Have you been pushing aside the voice in your head questioning if there’s more? After a lifetime of achievement and sacrifice, do you wonder what comes next? Are you living with the sense that there’s more to give with your leadership, and a deeper level of fulfillment to be had? Do you question the legacy that you’ll leave behind?

The invitation here is to disconnect to (re)connect:
  • (Re)connect to your authentic self.
  • (Re)connect to your why.
  • (Re)connect to your deepest personal values.
  • Face your deepest fears.
  • And shape your grandest vision.
Surrounded by the beauty of Jackson Hole, Grand Teton National Park, and the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem, you’ll slow it all down and sync with the rhythm of the natural world to do the deep work, emerging with greater clarity for your life and leadership.  The work will be invigorating, organic, soulful, and perhaps a little scary: all designed to help you live, and lead, to your highest potential.
  • 3-day solo retreat, supported by periodic deep coaching and plenty of time to reflect
  • Curated outdoor experiences, designed to slow it all down and provide plenty of spaciousness.
  • Clarity of what’s holding you back, and what will propel you forward.
  • 9 or 12 months of follow-on coaching (twice monthly)
Whether as a stand alone event or as part of a larger training initiative, Vast Sky Leadership can lead your group through an interactive session to facilitate improved communication and maximize team performance.

Facilitated workshops are a powerful tool to bring your team together, enhance collaboration and bonding, and to establish the working rhythms and agreements needed to propel your team to their full potential.

Topics and the experience are customized to each unique group. Examples include:
  • Setting organizational / team vision
  • Defining team values
  • Structuring team goals and methods
  • Vision/Values/Methods/
    Obstacles/Metrics (V2MOM)
  • Objectives and Key Results (OKRs)
  • Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
  • Learning about the neuroscience of leadership and teams
  • Interpret the level and impact of emotional intelligence on the group
  • Articulating cultural norms, goals, and action plans to shift
  • Exploring mindfulness and self-compassion in the workplace
  • Discussing team dynamics and change management
  • Giving and receiving feedback
  • Building team bonding and collaboration
Heidi Connal, Keynote Speaker

One snowy night, two months after returning from their year-long
round-the-world trip, Heidi Connal’s husband died unexpectedly.
Faced with sudden, inconceivable grief and post traumatic stress,
Heidi transformed her heartache as a young widow into a deeper
understanding of tragedy, anxiety, and trauma  as an executive and leader.

An expert in leadership and change, Heidi guides executives on the impacts of grief, trauma, mindfulness, and empathy on their employees, their teams, and their peers. Moving, thoughtful, and humorous, Heidi will take you on a journey of deeper insight into the human condition in the workplace.
