The Cedar Gate

Connecting. Impacting. Generations.

We bring leaders together in a relaxing, lodge environment where they gather face-to-face with experienced purpose-driven leaders who share insights and best practices from their sphere of influence.  There is something special about hearing real-life stories from game-changers who have lived to tell about it! 

We have discovered most leaders know WHAT they do and HOW they do it, but few know WHY they do what they do. Through Values Leadership Forums we help leaders discover their WHY and HOW to communicate their values, vision and purpose through WHAT they do with others. 

Our vision is to connect leaders who use their influence to impact the world for generations.

We seek to fulfill our vision by:

Inspiring cause-minded businesses

A cause-minded company is committed to success and significance and intentionally develops a generous culture where everyone in the organization feels their role is making a difference in the world.

Empowering business-minded causes

A business-minded cause is committed to stewardship and sustainability and intentionally develops an empowering culture where everyone in the organization feels their role is to encourage lives of self-sufficiency.

Encouraging lasting family legacies

A lasting family legacy is founded on strong values that impacts the world for generations.

We Believe Circles Are Better Than Rows.

Our focus is on leadership and organizational development in a remote, resort, retreat environment. We value shared experiences and the power of storytelling among peers led by a subject matter expert. We gather in small groups of no more than 20. Interaction and discussion is central to our approach. We frown on lectures and PowerPoint Presentations. We want to learn from real life experiences of people who have lived to tell about it. We believe purpose-driven leaders can change the world. We connect purpose-driven leaders with others who desire to use their influence to impact the world. Our setting is relaxing, refreshing and rejuvenating. We believe in excellence. Our facilities have been described as rustic elegance.
