Most offsites are forgotten by Monday. This one starts in a hangar at the edge of the Adirondacks, puts your team in the air over six million acres of mountains and lakes, and turns the experience into a facilitated conversation about how you lead, communicate, and decide together.

A half- or full-day experience combining two things that rarely go together: a genuinely memorable shared experience, and a structured leadership intervention that makes it last.
Your team rotates through scenic helicopter flights over the Adirondack High Peaks, Lake George, and the Great Sacandaga — peak fall color or fresh winter snow — flown by North Country Heli Flight in a Robinson R-44 with a certified pilot.
Walter Dusseldorp facilitates a session that uses aviation as a working model for high-performing teams: crew resource management, briefing discipline, shared situational awareness, and decision-making under pressure — mapped directly onto your team’s real challenges.
Teams walk out with concrete commitments, not just a good day out — the behaviors and cadence they’ll carry back into the work.
Cockpits are studied more than almost any other team. The behaviors that keep a flight safe — clear communication, speaking up across hierarchy, briefing and debriefing, managing workload and attention — are the same behaviors that separate great business teams from mediocre ones.
Walter draws on both worlds: a healthcare executive career (MBA, FACHE) and his work as a certified flight instructor. Your team lives the model in the air, then translates it into how they’ll operate on the ground.
Clear communication — say what matters, be heard.
Speak up across hierarchy — the junior voice that prevents the error.
Brief & debrief — align before, learn after.
Shared situational awareness — everyone flying the same plan.
After the flights, a high-energy session tying the experience to your team’s goals. Best for larger groups.
Facilitated team-building + leadership module, interwoven with the flight rotation.
The complete experience — working session at the hangar, flights, and an extended leadership workshop with an action-planning close.
End-of-year team outings, leadership team offsites, sales kickoffs, and reward trips. (Groups travel in from farther for the experience.)
Every offsite is scoped to your team size, format, and date — presented as a single per-group quote.
