Christie & Co, YExplore, and Endeavor Consulting teamed up to launch adVenturesAcademy (www.adventures.academy), a highly-specialized, research-based experiential program (“curriculum in action”) focused on strengthening and building resilience in leaders dedicated to strengthen businesses. We launched the program at the KIWA Investment Summit in Ecuador and took entrepreneurs, investors and industry leaders to new heights on Ecuador’s tallest volcano, Mt. Cotopaxi.
Created with the goal of deepening the engagement of entrepreneurs, investors and the growth ecosystem surrounding purpose-driven enterprises, adVenturesAcademy participants developed critical skills in the wilderness that can be applied to scaling their businesses and maintaining their values through that growth.
“adVenturesAcademy is designed to harness the spirit of entrepreneurship and build critical skills for success,” explains Alissa Sears, Co-Founder of adVenturesAcademy and VP of Growth & Strategy for Christie & Co. “Participants developed life skills vital to business strategy while experiencing the wild beauty of Ecuador. The course was based around experiential engagement between investors, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders using survival training in wilderness and outdoor exploration. adVenturesAcademy is the ultimate skill-building program for innovators, entrepreneurs and investors.”
For three days, adVentures Academy participants dug into topics like Navigating Growth using techniques from orienteering, and explored the Art of the Pivot, using the metaphor of the volcano’s challenges as an example of overcoming adversity in business.
“This unique experience will encourage participants to reach higher, push boundaries, and live dreams to the fullest,” adds Luis Benitez of Endeavor Consulting. “We wanted to push the participants to their full potential and test their resilience under unfamiliar conditions. That is the place where innovation happens.
