WHAT IS A LEADERSHIP TREK® (LTREK®)?
An LTrek®
is a journey, an experience, an adventure. Each LTrek®
is an interactive leadership training course in which
the students play games and participate in numerous
experiential learning activities, learning valuable
leadership skills that contribute to their personal and
future professional success, including character
development components. Our seven signature programs
are called the Seven Leadership Summits™.
Students
are challenged to think about who they are, where they
are going, and where they want to end up. We use
multiple modalities to reach all kinds of learners
including auditory, visual, and tactile. For

OUR PHILOSOPHY
Leadership Trek® is both our philosophy and signature
training format. We believe in planting seeds for
effective future leadership in our youth. Leadership
development is a life long endeavor, a journey or a
“trek” requiring pacing and endurance, rather than the
completion of a training course. It is never too early
to begin learning important leadership skills such as
how to work well in groups, jointly problem-solve and
communicate effectively.
We
firmly believe it is essential not just to develop
future leaders, but to develop virtuous leaders.
Each of our Seven Leadership Summits™ includes character
development components focusing on the seven leadership
virtues dating back 2000 years to Aristotle’s writings.
For example, “courage,” by definition is not just doing
something gutsy, but is making right decisions and
choices.

SIGNATURE LTREK YOUTH™ TRAINING FORMAT
A
Leadership Trek® is no ordinary leadership development
program. A Leadership Trek® is an innovative and unique
program including character and leadership skill
development intertwined with the virtual progression of
the journey of an LTrek Adventurer™.

insights and lessons from the mountains and grueling

SEVEN LEADERSHIP SUMMITS™
We
developed the Seven Leadership Summits™, seven
leadership development adventures that each correlate
with a highest mountain on one of the seven continents,
for example Mt. Everest, Mt. Kilimanjaro, Mt. McKinley,
Aconcagua, Mt. Elbrus, etc.
Participants can achieve the Seven Leadership Summits™
by completing each of our programs and receiving a
Certificate of Course Completion. After students
conquer the Seven Summits they can tackle LTrek’s
Leadership Adventure Grand Slam™, which includes the
North and South Pole Treks, virtually of course.

LEADERSHIP VIRTUES
Each of the Seven Leadership Summits™ include focus on a
different classic leadership virtue (i.e. Courage,
Justice, Love, Temperance, Hope, etc.) which date back
2000 years, explored by noted philosophers such as
Aristotle. For example, LTrek Everest™ represents
“courage” and LTrek Kilimanjaro™ focuses on “justice.”
During LTrek Kilimanjaro, participants consider the
importance of
“just” decision making, following rules, not cutting
corners, valuing people equally, and they explore the
meaning of “fairness,” a very subjective word.
