2027 EO New Zealand Exploration
2027-01-10 12:00 - 2027-01-16 10:00 (America/Chicago)
Set your sights on the raw, untamed beauty of New Zealand’s South Island — a place where nature feels larger, wilder, and closer than anywhere else on earth. From the alpine peaks and glacial lakes of Queenstown – a landscape that has brought legendary stories like The Lord of the Rings to life — to the rolling farmlands and open countryside beyond, this is a place where myth and majesty are not imagined but felt.
This six-night journey is designed for those who seek both exhilaration and meaning — where moments of adrenaline meet moments of connection, and where every experience reveals something deeper about the land and the people who call it home. Here, the spirit of exploration lives not only in the terrain, but in the stories, traditions, and entrepreneurial mindset shaped by life at the edge of the world.
Each day unfolds through carefully curated experiences that reflect the essence of New Zealand. You may find yourself racing through narrow canyons by jet boat, navigating wild rivers in a white-water raft, or traversing remote countryside by 4WD — landscapes once shaped by gold rush pioneers and still carrying the echoes of their ambition and resilience. In quieter moments, you will slow down to take in the region’s natural beauty: cycling through open valleys, sharing meals paired with world-class wines, and gathering in settings where conversation flows as easily as the scenery.
Beyond the adventure lies a deeper connection to place. Engage with local entrepreneurs and community members whose lives are intertwined with the land — individuals who have built businesses rooted in creativity, independence, and respect for nature. Through cultural encounters and storytelling, including moments inspired by Māori traditions, you will gain insight into the heritage and values that continue to shape New Zealand’s identity today.
Evenings bring a different rhythm — one of reflection and connection. Whether in the heart of Queenstown or surrounded by the stillness of the countryside, these shared moments create space for meaningful conversations, new perspectives, and lasting relationships.
As with every EO Exploration, this journey is more than a destination. It is an opportunity to step away from the familiar, to challenge yourself in new ways, and to return with renewed clarity, inspiration, and connection. In New Zealand, the experience is as expansive as the landscape itself — bold, grounding, and unforgettable.
Registration opens at 11:00 AM on 4 June 2026.

Do you have the right people in the right seats to grow your business?
Scaling gets harder when roles are unclear, culture exists only on paper, or the people who got you here aren’t necessarily the people who can get you where you’re going.
PEOPLE Learning Day gives you practical tools to strengthen the team behind your business. You’ll dig into:
CORE VALUES • CULTURE • FUNCTIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY • HIRING • TEAM DEVELOPMENT • GOAL SETTING
You’ll work through the FACe (Function Accountability Chart) to identify the right seats, the right people for those seats, and whether the right people are doing the right things. You’ll also explore how to bring your culture to life through recruiting, onboarding, coaching, recognition, training, and development.
Walk away with actionable tools to build a stronger, more accountable team that can grow with your business.

Is your business running consistently, or does everything still depend on you?
Growth requires more than a great strategy. It requires the systems, rhythms, and accountability to execute it again and again. EXECUTION Day is built around the idea of “flawless execution and relentless repeatability.”
You’ll dig into:
PRIORITIES • KPIs & DASHBOARDS • ACCOUNTABILITY • MEETING RHYTHMS • TIME MANAGEMENT • QUARTERLY PLANNING • MARKETING & LEADS
Learn how to turn big goals into clear 90-day priorities, identify the metrics that actually tell you how your business is performing, and create meeting rhythms that lead to faster, better decisions. The framework centers on three execution disciplines: Priorities for focus, Metrics/Data for clarity, and Meeting Rhythms for better decisions.
Walk away with practical tools to create more focus, accountability, and consistency across your business, so execution doesn’t rely on you pushing everything forward.
