What to Expect?...the Unexpected

Leadership Experiences

StoneWater’s Leadership Experiences are 3-4 days and take place in the continental United States.  They typically have a theme that ties closely to the training location. Before beginning your experience, you are provided with physical and mental preparation plans and also provided with a personal packing list.

  • Leaders fly into a central airport, link-up with their team and are “all-in” for the duration of the program.

  • All food, lodging, local transportation, specialized gear, technical training and expert guide services are included. 

  • Upon completion, you will receive a follow up 1 on 1 debrief, in-depth peer feedback and the opportunity to design a plan to implement your lessons learned.

    These events are high-intensity and high impact.

StoneWater Training’s Expeditions

StoneWater Training’s Expeditions are similar to our experiences but generally run 4-14 days long, cover a broader spectrum of leadership and personal development themes and can take place outside of the continental United States.

Leading by Example

  • I worked with Phil during a Non‑Profit Leader Workshop, his focus on first leading yourself and then leading others is a powerful message. If you get a chance, work with StoneWater Training whether as an individual or a leadership team – highly recommended.

    Sonja Wheeler, Energy Department Director, HRDC

  • Phil Kornachuk has been a valuable part of the MSU Bobcat Football Team’s culture and leadership development for the last four years. His focus on purpose, values and habits translates into performance on the football field and more importantly in life.

    Brent Vigen, Head Coach, Montana State Bobcat Football

  • Phil's leadership expedition was critical for sharpening my individual leadership, clarifying vision and connecting with high impact leaders. His energy, experience and passion will make an immediate impact on your leadership, culture and team. A life changing encounter.

    Danny Sprinkle, Head Coach, MSU Men’s Basketball (2022 & 2023 Big Sky Champions)

  • When I think of great examples of transformational leaders, Phil immediately comes to mind. He powerfully blends academics with experience. If you want to innovate, grow, and make positive changes with your team, reach out to StoneWater. They make an impact.

    Dr. Tim Rice, Sport & Performance Psychology, University of Arizona Global Campus

This is an immersive, lifetime experience.
