2012 Schedule

As of May 17, 2012 (Subject to change)

MONDAY, OCTOBER 22
7:00am	-	12:00pm	Golf (Optional. Sign up required)
			It doesn't take long for the El Conquistador Resort and Country Club to get its point across. Before pressing the first tee into the ground, golfers are treated to the vision of a tight fairway that bends right into a crescendo and then falls off out of sight. If this golf course could talk, it would start by saying: "Bring your A game, especially off the tee." El Conquistador, an Arthur Hills design, is a challenging design that requires patience and smarts. Middle and low handicappers will enjoy the layout, but it will overwhelm the high handicap. The views, however, might be worth the frustration. Troon Golf manages the club, so obviously, the service is stellar. The driving range is small, with roughly 10 to 15 stations, but the putting green is a fair size.
11:00am	-	4:00pm	Palomino Island Teambuilding
			Hop in the catamaran to Palomino Island for volleyball (of course), a cocktail making contest, snorkeling lunch and fun. No host bar, full service beach club onsite. The El Con catamaran leaves for Palomino Island on the half hour from 11:00am – 4:00pm.
7:00pm	-	10:00pm	Welcome Dinner
			The 2012 LCT Leadership Summit will be legend-wait for it-dary as we kick it off with this welcome dinner featuring the island Latin jazz groups Vejigantes and Batucada and Plena, cigar rolling, and rum tasting. The theme for the evening is all white so dress accordingly and wear your best guayaberas. Cigar Rolling A professional cigar roller will proudly display his craft and explain how cigars are made in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rican cigars will be available for our guests to enjoy at the pool and take back to their rooms. (One per person) Vejigantes and Batucada and Plena In the far off distance, a whistle signals the beginning of the parade. First enter the Batucada dressed in white hats, black pants and white shirts playing all manner of wood instruments typical of Puerto Rico, these are followed by the Vejigantes. Guests are simply captivated joining in on this meandering conga line. The group will perform for 20 minutes, signaling the change from dinner into the party! Note, our group is welcome to grab the instruments located on their tables and join in the musical fun!
10:00pm	-	?	Late Night Meet Up at the El Con Casablanca Nightclub and Casino
			The Casablanca Nightclub and the casino next door will entertain the night owl in anyone. The casino offers slots, blackjack, craps and roulette. Next to the casino is Bar 21, where sports fans are watching the big games next to those who crapped out and are crying in their beer.
10:00pm	-	Midnight	Bioluminescent Tour
			Do not let your trip to the LCT Leadership Summit happen without exploring the top bioluminescent waters in the world. The relaxing kayak tour will take you to the fascinating lagoon at Las Cabezas de San Juan. You will see the historical lighthouse of Fajardo, and also touch the waters that glow with single-celled dinoflagellate organisms. Your excursion begins by kayaking across Las Croabas bay, through a winding mangrove river, and finally into the bio-bay. The professional tour staff will guide you throughout the entire tour. You will receive a life jacket, flashlight, safety briefing and kayaking instructions from one of the experienced tour guides. Refreshments, towels and light snacks will be provided. (Additional fee,30 people maximum.)

Billy will engage in a partnership with you that will completely transform the way you look at physical fitness.

12:00pm	-	1:00pm	Working Lunch

1:00pm	-	3:00pm	Intentional Reflection Workshop
			“Good is the enemy of GREAT.” - Voiltaire Are you trying to be good at too many things and sacrificing being great at just a few? Are you losing sight of the bigger picture, scrambling around, and feeling trapped on a hamster wheel? To engage in ongoing development as a leader means evaluating these questions every so often. And to really evaluate them, you need to get specific and set aside TIME to meet with with just yourself (that’s right, you need to put it onto your calendar and treat this as a MUST attend meeting). At the Summit, we are going to get you started: At the Intentional Reflection Luncheon, participants will spend 2 hours being facilitated through a Do-It-Yourself p Everyone, regardless of your position at work, can benefit from engaging in intentional reflection. Here are some steps to get you started: Problem Solving Time Goes First: Spend the first hour of your reflection time on problem solving. The focus of this type of reflection is short-term and tactical. We are inundated with problems at work every day. To address them effectively, we need to reflect on them. Make a list of problems. Pick the priorities and work them out. Do as many as you realistically can. Think Strategically and Seek Wisdom: The second hour of your time should be spent on this longer-term type of reflection. It is more proactive and requires discipline and accountability. There will always be dozens of immediate demands! But without this type of reflection, you will find it very difficult to control your time and your situation. Take Action!: Using what you’ve done in the two hours of reflection, make a plan of concrete steps that you can follow to get you there. Take it to the next level and find someone with whom you can share your plan of action who will hold you accountable for actually doing it. Many of us are so busy putting out fires and responding to the immediate and never-ending daily demands of our lives that we do not carve out time to gain control. Often people refer to it as ‘taking time for themselves’. It falls again and again to the bottom of the priority list. We challenge you to try carving out this block of time even once, and see what kind of benefits you can reap.

Bonfire Cozy up to the bonfire on the beach with Peter Colon, a Puerto Rico native and the Tourism Director, while he tells real ghost stories and the enchanting story of Puerto Rico…complete with tales of the pirates of the Caribbean.
