Executive retreats · New York City
Leadership retreats for New York teams.
We work with leadership teams across the country, from our home in Dallas–Fort Worth. If your team can get away, take it somewhere great. The right place helps a team slow down and think together. If you’d rather stay close to New York, we’ll run it there. Either way, we interview every leader, design the days and run the room in person.

Get away
Take your team somewhere great.
If your team has the time and the budget, we always encourage getting away. A few days with nowhere else to be gives leaders room to think and talk. A few of the places we’d start with:
Close to home
Or stay near New York.
The Hudson Valley, the Catskills and the shore are all within a few hours of Manhattan by car or train, far enough that nobody pops back to the office. Every place has room for the whole team to work, eat and stay together.
Mountains · Resort or hotel

Questions
Retreats near New York.
Do you facilitate leadership retreats for New York City companies?
Yes. Everest Collective is based in Dallas–Fort Worth and works with leadership teams across the United States. We interview every leader before the retreat, usually by video, then the two founders facilitate on site, wherever the team goes.
Should our team travel or stay close to New York?
If the team has the time and the budget, we encourage getting away. The place is never the most important part of a retreat, and the right one still helps leaders slow down, step out of the day to day and talk. When travel doesn’t fit, a place within a couple of hours of Midtown Manhattan works well too.
Where can a New York leadership team hold a retreat nearby?
For a team that wants a house to itself, everyone with their own bedroom: Glenmere Mansion, The DeBruce. For a team that would rather each leader have a room at the same hotel or resort: Mohonk Mountain House, Troutbeck, Gurney's Montauk Resort. All are within about three hours of Midtown Manhattan.
When is the best time for a retreat near New York?
Most of the places on this page are at their best in May, June, September, October. Each venue page lists its own best months and what to plan around.
How far ahead should we plan?
About eight weeks from the first conversation to the retreat covers the leader interviews and agenda sign-off. Popular venues book group dates months ahead, so pick the place early.

Yes. Choose full service and we find the venue, book the rooms, plan the meals and run the schedule. Or book it yourself and we bring the interviews, the agenda and the facilitation.
