Workshops & Retreats – Today’s emerging leaders are faced with an avalanche of options that can sometimes be overwhelming: What should I do with my life? Which career path should I choose? Am I in the right position? How can I leverage my interests, strengths, and passions to accelerate my performance at work? How can I make a difference in the world? With so many decisions to make, starting with a strong personal foundation and a smart plan for moving forward is essential. New Mountain Ventures has developed transformational workshops and retreats that can help emerging leaders create an extraordinary life and career of purpose, service, and significance—with both personal fulfillment and professional excellence.

Speaking – We regularly deliver high-energy keynotes, presentations, talks, and webinars designed to inform, inspire, provoke, challenge, and encourage. Using real-world examples, concrete frameworks, entertaining stories, moving vignettes, and more, we can customize our message for your group, institution, or organization. To learn more, click here.
Tools – New Mountain Ventures has developed an array of tools to ensure that the benefits from NMV workshops, retreats, and speaking engagements don’t end after the event. These tools allow our participants to continuously update and refresh their entrepreneurial life plans and stay connected to a group of fellow life entrepreneurs who will support them and hold them accountable for putting your plan into action. We also provide tools for organizations, assisting them with entrepreneurial leadership development and culture-building. To learn more, click here.
Consulting – NMV also works with clients to develop a coherent approach for integrating life entrepreneurship principles (such as discovering core identity, awakening to opportunity, vision creation, and developing a leadership and life plan) into the fabric of their institution or organization. This includes working with internal champions to deepen and sustain the entrepreneurial mindset throughout an organization’s leadership, service, professional readiness, and performance enhancement initiatives.

All of our services are customized to our clients’ needs, challenges, and goals. Our services draw upon our own entrepreneurial experiences in starting or helping to launch 20 organizations across the U.S. (and one in Chile) plus our 55 interviews with high-impact entrepreneurs for our book, Life Entrepreneurs: Ordinary People Creating Extraordinary Lives. Through these experiences and interviews, we have developed tools and techniques that can help emerging leaders achieve personal fulfillment and professional excellence.
There’s a big dividing line between ordinary lives and extraordinary ones, and many of us pass our time well short of that line. But one of time’s jealously guarded secrets is that the line is imaginary. It exists only in our heads. There is, it turns out, no limit to the number of extraordinary lives that can be realized, no quota on good lives to be claimed. Yet too many of us cling fiercely to imaginary limits we have set for ourselves or accepted from others. The first and most important step in creating an extraordinary life is choosing to do so.
