Project Description
Legacy & Leadership: The New York Yankees
A truly unique, fully interactive learning experience, “Legacy and Leadership” traces the professional journey of Mickey Mantle, arguably one of the greatest players in Major League Baseball history. The presentation is two hours in length, and examines such environmental issues as diversity & inclusion, fear of not being enough, the cultural impact of failure and success, the pursuit of home runs, and the power of inspiration. Three theatrical scenes are followed, in turn, by three intense and challenging work sessions. The work periods allow executive and high-potential students the opportunity to examine the energies within their particular work environments, and to create an action plan for changing those energies in an empowering way.

Anchored Learning: Inspiring others, managing individual and team energy, articulating clear and achievable goals, building innovative environments.
Total time needed for presentation and debrief: 2 1/2 – 3 hours.
