Fast Company: “[I]t was refreshing to spend a weekend of personal and professional development at the Banff Centre in the province of Alberta. The Banff Centre has pioneered a unique approach to leadership development. Taking advantage of its spectacular location in the Canadian Rockies, leadership development at Banff begins with a sense of place. Adding to that sense of place is the infusion of arts and culture.” — John Baldoni

Globe and Mail — September 30, 2005.   From the Globe’s 2005 Executive Education Guide:

The Banff Centre: Go here if you’d like leadership training that takes cues from the arts. In an unexpected bit of synergy, the Banff Centre’s well-known slate of arts workshops profoundly influences its leadership teachings. While many of the Centre’s courses employ such standard tools as 360-degree assessments and Myers-Briggs questionnaires, Banff’s artists-in-residence often facilitate programs to inject a non-biz perspective. The Art of the Executive Leader, for example, brings in actors and theatre directors to coach managers on how to exude an appropriately patrician air.
