Our Founding Fathers are a wonderful group of people to study and learn leadership from. This quote, for example, is from John Quincy Adams, 6th President of the United States:
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.”
That’s why Washington, D.C. is the IDEAL place for the Ops Boss™ Leader Retreat, and we’re really looking forward to seeing so many of you there. We have coached more than 2,200 real estate admin professionals, and we’re excited to offer high level operations leaders from around North America a unique opportunity to engage with other smart, motivated, successful people in the field of real estate operations. So far, we have attendees registered from 24 states!
This event will be crucial in giving you the ammunition you need to optimize your leadership skills and will help you rise to the next echelon in your career. We also hope that, while you’re here, you’ll seize the opportunity to enjoy some of the other incredible things there are to do in our nation’s capital. If you think you can’t afford the time, consider this: According to WebMD, the benefits of fitting leisure time into a hectic schedule are abundant and may make the difference between sickness and health!
With that in mind, we thought you might enjoy reading about some of the really cool free-time opportunities you can choose while you’re here. (Our area is so unique, we’d highly recommend you come a day early or stay a day late to take full advantage of what there is to see.) Come raise your leadership lid at the retreat AND by learning from the leaders who founded our country.
Along with the Capitol, White House, and Supreme Court, enjoy iconic monuments like the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, Thomas Jefferson Memorial and the National World War II Memorial. (A nighttime tour of the monuments will take your breath away!) There are also a plethora of museums to tour – many of which are free – such as the National Museum of American History, National Museum of African American History and Culture, and the National Air & Space Museum.
Revel in some of the best cheap eats around D.C. – everything from Vietnamese and Japanese to Korean and Middle Eastern to Ethiopian and barbecue. There’s also a great area close to the retreat venue called The Mosaic District where you can enjoy a variety of awesome restaurants, movies, shops & more!
Listen to live music at places like Blues Alley, Gypsy Sally’s, Jammin Java and The Birchmere.
Of course, the list of amazing things to do is pretty much endless, and the best part of your trip will be spending your days being educated and inspired, as well as meeting your high-thinking counterparts. So, if you haven’t had a chance yet, take a few moments and register for the OPS BOSS™ LEADER RETREAT. Let’s Get Bossy!
