stePs to ignite a


1. tHinK liKeAn executive

Identify your strategic objectives:

g Determine how the conference should support your business objectivesg Define what people should be

doing differently back on the jobg Design your success measures

for the conference

2. use tHe Budget Wisely

Deliver the most impact per dollar spent by considering these areas:

g The subliminal Message: a premium resort might convey employee appreciation, whereas the local airport hotel might suit a more focused meetingg The practical Costs: travel, food,

entertainment, etc., are typically the most flexible expensesg The Corporate objectives:

speakers, breakouts, and learning events, are outcome-critical and should take precedence over less relevant expenses

3. optimize your communicAtion

Think Head, Heart, Hands and Harvest:

g head - knowledge and understanding: ensure that your message and expectations are clear to all participantsg heart - Conviction: provide

the means for participants to internalize your messageg hands - Increase skill: allow

time for participants to develop the objective-relevant skillsg harvest - Apply for Results:

let participants test new information, learning and skills within their own business context - this keeps the learning alivebeyond the event!

4. Add tHe sizzle FActor

Make it memorable:

g Design an immersive environment and engaging themes - captivates participantsg Create a feeling - intensifies

retention of content and messageg Appeal to the senses to engage

the participant on multiple levels - extends and deepens impact

5. HAve A leArning retention strAtegy

Keep the learning alive with a post-conference strategy that:

g Translates information and content into action stepsg Extends key messages beyond

the event via follow-up activitiesg Enlists leadership in

supporting and driving the desired outcomesg Reports progress to key

conference stakeholdersg Celebrates wins and helps

build momentum


amaZECreate a rich and immersive conference environment to captivate

and amaze your audience. Wondering where to start?

Here are just a few ideas from the Eagles Flight playbook:

g theme the conference to match the theme of the experience (e.g., Gold of the Desert Kings could have a Casablanca theme).

g Have some of your senior executives appear in costume consistent with the experience (e.g., Rattlesnake Canyon could have an old west, cowboy look).

g Set up an outside the conference room display that creates anticipation for the event inside (e.g., Coral Banks could have a South Seas Island tourist Information area outside the conference room).

g Circulate Eagles Flight staff in character in the venue prior to the event. a dozen race car drivers, pit crew, referees, race timers, etc., each with their own pre-race comments makes Redline Racing come alive.

tRanSFoRmatIvEWhat sort of impact does an Eagles Flight conference solution have on participants and stakeholders?

our experience with the Eagles Flight training team has been nothing short of exceptional, in content of the exercise, delivery by the facilitation team, the relevance of the message and skill building, but just as importantly, the ability to make it all fun.

this is the first time in history that meeting participants were more interested in the program than in their afternoon golf tournament.

i have found your company and its programs to be the best way to open our conference as a way of eliminating the inter-company, inter-departmental barriers, creating a new team spirit and opening the communication.

the conference was another resounding success; meaningful, fun and engaging. Eagles Flight is professional and has the ability to make the experience specific and meaningful.

it is a pleasure to work with a training company that truly understands that we learn best when we are engaged and having fun. we have utilized several of Eagles Flights programs and all of them have been successful.

when looking for an engaging and interactive conference that adds real value and direction to our business, we look no further than Eagles Flight.
