Command Expedition: Battle of Britain

6-Day Leadership Excursion to London for Military-Minded Leaders

June 6, 2026 through June 12, 2026

Are you driven by purpose, discipline, and a commitment to results and want to get more from your team?

Then Command Expedition is the experience you are looking for!

Private, Expert-Led Battlefield and Historical Site Tours

Experience exclusive, in-depth tours of key sites like Churchill’s War Rooms, the D-Day planning headquarters, and other locations that shaped history. Each tour is guided by expert historians who will provide rare insights and facilitate discussions on translating these lessons to your leadership style.

What Will You Gain?

This is no ordinary leadership retreat. You’ll uncover a wealth of insights drawn from history’s most brilliant military minds. Here are just a few of the powerful lessons you’ll take away:

Eisenhower, Alexander, and Churchill
1. Master Time and Focus Like Churchill

Winston Churchill famously stayed in bed until 11 a.m., yet his output dwarfed that of most people. Imagine leading with such mastery of focus and priorities that your schedule becomes a tool, not a trap. How could this revolutionize your productivity?

Dwight D Eisenhower
2. Turn Setbacks into Triumphs Like Eisenhower

Dwight D. Eisenhower transformed the failures of the North Africa Campaign into the resounding success of D-Day. What if you could harness this same strategic brilliance to turn obstacles into your greatest victories?

Women of the Island of Guernsey
3. Adapt Like the Islanders of Guernsey

Faced with their supplies cut off, the people of Guernsey redefined resilience and innovation. Could your business weather unforeseen disruptions with the same tenacity, turning challenges into a competitive edge?

And that’s just the beginning. Each day will reveal more invaluable lessons, tailored to help you navigate today’s complex leadership challenges with the vision, adaptability, and precision of history’s greatest commanders.

Relive the Battle of London with Military-Minded Leaders

Do you struggle to gain buy-in without rigid control?  Does maintaining focus on a larger mission seem harder than it should be?

Military-minded leaders look to inspire loyalty, build alignment across their teams, and achieve ambitious goals—often in the face of complex, high-stakes challenges. Yet, in the fast-paced, ever-evolving civilian landscape, traditional command-and-control approaches fall short.

It’s about setting high expectations and providing the necessary support and resources to meet them.

Day 1: Saturday, June 6
Arrival

You will be met by your private driver and transferred to your hotel.  Expedition briefing and dinner at the Savoy Grill (Churchill’s favorite restaurant).

The Churchill Experience

After breakfast embark on a private excursion to the Churchill War Rooms before their open to the public.  Explore how Churchill stepped into leadership and grew from a controversial politician into the leader that inspired a nation to bear up to the deprivations of war amidst calls for appeasement and capitulation.  This one-of-a-kind experience will be followed by a private tour of London including hidden gems relating to Sir Winston Churchill and the Imperial war Museums of London. Breakfast is included. 

Air Combat Experience

After breakfast we will sortie to the Goodwood Estates and RAF Tangmere.  Discover how to think and react calmly and cooly in the dynamic, chaotic, environment of air combat.  You’ll get to fly in a Slingsby T67 Firefly military training aircraft and experience air combat against a fellow expedition member.  Breakfast and Lunch included.

Southwick House

Location of the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Forces (Europe), Southwick House was the epicenter for the planning of Operation Overlord, the Normandy Invasion.  The success of Operation Overlord was due to Eisenhower’s ability to learn and grow from past mistakes.  Here we will unearth the secret Eisenhower used that allowed him to grow to be one of the most beloved and successful leaders of modern time.

From here we will depart for St. Peter Port in Guernsey where we will enjoy dinner in the private Doyle room, once the private dining room of Lt General Sir John Doyle, former Lieutenant Governor of Guernsey.  Breakfast and Dinner are included.

Channel Islands

The only part of the British Isles occupied by the Germans during World War II (30 June 1940 – 9 May 1945), the Channel Islands offer a powerful lesson in leadership during times of sudden and profound disruption. Citizens faced a harsh reality, and the provisional government had to quickly adapt to the occupation, navigating the delicate balance between ensuring survival and avoiding the pitfalls of collaboration. Modern business leaders can learn from these successes and failures: in the face of unforeseen challenges, flexibility, ethical decision-making, and clear communication are vital to maintaining integrity while securing stability. Breakfast is included

Code of Conduct: Commitment to Leadership and Focus

To ensure the success of this exclusive leadership retreat, all expedition members are expected to adhere to the following guidelines:

  1. No Plus Ones (Unless a Leadership Partner)
    This is a leadership-focused experience, not a sightseeing trip or vacation. Plus ones are only permitted if they hold a leadership role in your organization. If you’d like to share the experience with someone, arrange to meet them after the retreat concludes on October 2.
  2. Sobriety Until the Final Dinner
    Alcohol or other intoxicants are not permitted during the expedition, except at the farewell dinner at Raffles. This is to maintain focus, respect, and engagement throughout the retreat.
  3. Be Fully Present
    During all tours, briefings, discussions, exercises, and debriefings, participants are expected to be mentally and physically engaged. This means no texting, calling, or checking emails during these sessions. Leadership starts with presence.
  4. Punctuality is Non-Negotiable
    Missing movement is serious. The schedule is tight to maximize the experience, and all transportation will leave promptly. Activities and exercises may take place during bus rides, so punctuality ensures you won’t miss critical moments. If you miss the transportation, it will be your responsibility to catch up with the group.

This retreat is designed to push boundaries, build discipline, and deepen leadership skills. By following these guidelines, you’ll ensure a transformative and impactful experience for yourself and your fellow leaders.
