The SAM Summit Series Rising Leader Program is a professional development experience designed for mountain resort professionals growing into leadership roles. Led by leadership coach Lex Curtis, each 90-minute session combines practical leadership development with small-group discussion alongside an industry mentor and peer cohort, giving participants tools they can put to work immediately and build on throughout the series.
Finish Strong
Closing the season requires a tremendous amount of operational work, but great leaders recognize that there’s more to close out than just the operation. As lifts stop turning and seasonal employees start to leave, there’s a short window to capture what was learned, recognize contributions, strengthen relationships, and bring meaningful closure to the season. This session helps you look beyond the operational closing checklist to learn from your own leadership and your team’s experience while preparing for what’s next. You’ll leave ready to carry those lessons, relationships, and professional connections forward into next season, your next leadership challenge, and your continued growth in the industry.
