With historic origins, this recently renovated estate features original architectural details, blending traditional NOLA architecture with luxurious modern amenities. With 21 private bedrooms, this property is perfect for an intimate experience among incredible peers.
The property is located in the beautiful and historic Central City, minutes away from the historic streetcars that will take you to the heart of the French Quarter or into the Historic Garden District. Greek revival and Victorian mansions, museums, and world-class restaurants are at your doorstep. Walk down Magazine Street and explore the miles of galleries, antique stores, and boutiques waiting for you there. Or walk in the other direction and tour around the CBD, where some of New Orleans' best restaurants await.
The Elite Retreat was an ideal event to come together with committed fellow students of transactional competence to inquire again into the question of "What does it take to construct and live a good life?" The variety of perspectives and expertise that we have available to us is incredible.
The best part about the Elite Retreat is being fellow participants who have become amazing friends over my 12 years of participation. I am reminded of who I am - the ambitious me - when I spend time with these amazing people.
There is no greater value than sitting down with a group of smart, well-educated people to have a deep conversation about philosophies for life and how to deal with the current in our daily activities.
Great opportunity to connect with some of the most brilliant people I know.
I'm a better me when I'm with you (the ecology). The elite retreat is an environment that summons my true strength - the strength that lies in a smart, talented, and kind group of ambitious Influential U students; we become new - together. I'm a bigger me when I'm with you. I'm a smarter me when I'm with you. I'm a capable me when I'm with you. I and U are capable of anything. I'm truly inspired, grateful, and ready to take on the world.
Surround yourself with friends who provide the best conversations around substantive topics in an ideal setting.
A stunning environment, stunning people and thought provoking content and conversations. What more can I say!
Being with other advanced members of the ecology allows for the opportunity for more deep and rich conversations. The sessions are lead by the founders, but fueled by the members, in the sense that the shared brain in the room drives the conversation. Lifelong connections. Advanced thinking. Transactional Leadership. Beautiful locations. If any of the above qualities are of interest, than I highly recommend joining us for the Elite Retreat.
The Elite Retreats are a great mix of studying and socializing. The opportunity to spend time in a 5 star resort with some of our best friends in a magical setting was an unforgettable experience! Looking forward to the next one!
The Elite retreat is a wonderful opportunity to come together with your peers, connect and converse about important issues you are working on, or generally dealing with in life. In a stunning location it provides not only time to focus but time to relax and enjoy the environment.
Our week in Greece at the 2023 Elite Retreat was one of the best travel and sociality experiences my husband and I have ever experienced. The local was perfect; It was first class, quiet, secluded, and provided a wonderful variety of foods with the breakfast and dinners. The conference room itself was intimate and professional. Our bedroom was clean, well decorated and had a view of the Aegean Sea (which was just outside the hotel.) Our fellow attendees were from all over the world and had traveled in from or were heading out to other adventures! All in all perfect for an Elite Retreat.
After a few years of being away from Influence U and their remarkable curricula, attending the Elite Retreat provided me with a perfect launch pad to articulate aims and devise strategies for their implementation.
The retreats are an opportunity to grow in learning about fellow participants and the social and organizational movement's BIG AIMS with transactional competence and philosophy. I invite you to join us to relax and grow together.
It is a place where ambitious adults gather to sort out plans for our most ambitious aims.
