How much does an executive retreat cost?
Short answer: a content-led Focused retreat runs roughly $25,000–$50,000; a ready-to-run Signature retreat $35,000–$100,000; a fully bespoke retreat designed from scratch $75,000–$500,000+ — all turnkey. Where you land depends on how much is custom, where you go, how long you stay, and how many people travel.

What drives the number
- →Custom vs. ready-to-run. Designing from scratch costs more than tailoring a proven format — and is worth it when the stakes are exact.
- →Location & logistics. A remote lodge or international destination carries more coordination than a regional one.
- →Length & group size. More days and more people raise the total — though per-person cost often falls as the group grows.
- →Reinforcement & measurement. The 30-day system and behavioral-change report are part of the price — and the reason the spend returns something.
The real question isn't the price
A retreat that inspires for a week and changes nothing is expensive at any price. A retreat that measurably shifts how your leadership team operates — for a year and beyond — is cheap by comparison. The number that matters isn't the invoice; it's the cost of your executive team staying exactly as it is for another four quarters. Price the retreat against that.
What the return actually looks like
We don't ask you to take the change on faith. Every engagement is measured against a baseline: each participant's daily behavioral and mindset scores are tracked through the 30-day reinforcement window and reported on day 30. Across documented engagements, leadership teams improved their daily mindset scores by 113% to 268% in the first thirty days.

Measured results from documented engagements; your baseline and outcome are your own. The point isn't the headline number — it's that the change is measured at all.
Most engagements are scoped on the first call once we know your outcome, team size, and timeline. We'll give you an honest range before you commit to anything — and tell you if a simpler format gets you there for less.
