Executive Leadership Retreats & Training in Dallas-Fort Worth

Led by former executives, we design retreats for senior leadership teams navigating growth and complexity who need alignment and real execution.

Real Accountability
Real Experience

We are not academics, career consultants, or junior advisors.

We are former senior executives who have operated inside complex organizations and carried direct accountability for results. 

You’ll work directly with us, experienced leaders who have: 

• Led organizations and senior teams through growth and complexity
• Managed large teams and significant operational responsibility
• Sat on your side of the table making high-stakes decisions
• Mike is a former President and CEO with multibillion dollar P&L’s
• Brittany is a former EVP and Culture Expert who has mentored Fortune 500 Executives

There are no handoffs to junior consultants. The people you meet are the people doing the work.

The Problem We Solve

As organizations grow, alignment becomes harder. Priorities multiply, communication fragments, and teams stay busy without moving in the same direction.

Misalignment is rarely a leadership failure. It is a natural consequence of growth, change, and complexity. Left unaddressed, it slows execution, creates friction across teams, and puts strategy at risk.

Our Core Solution: Executive Leadership Retreats

Our executive leadership retreats are designed to create clarity, alignment, and momentum when it matters most.

Before the retreat, we listen. Through one-on-one conversations and preparation, we understand the real dynamics, tensions, and cultural friction inside your organization.

During the retreat, we facilitate focused, high-trust working sessions that help leaders:

• Align on what matters most
• Make clear strategic decisions
• Surface and resolve misalignment
• Address cultural dynamics impacting execution
• Leave with shared priorities and ownership

The retreat is not a one-off event. It is the foundation for meaningful execution.

Our Services

Everest Collective is intentionally focused on a small number of offerings, designed to work together rather than compete for attention.

Executive Leadership Retreats

Focused alignment and high-stakes decision-making for senior leaders.

Leadership Training

Developing leaders to lead with clarity, consistency, and accountability.

Organizational Culture Assessment

Clarifying how culture supports—or limits—strategy and execution.

How Teams Use Everest

We work with leadership teams in moments that shape direction, performance, and long-term health. These engagements typically arise when alignment, clarity, and execution matter most, including:

• Executive and senior leadership alignment
  When leaders need to operate as a unified body, make shared decisions, and move forward without fragmentation.
• Cross-functional initiatives with high visibility
  When multiple teams, priorities, or leaders must align around complex initiatives where missteps are costly.
• Strategic planning during growth or transition
  When organizations are scaling, restructuring, or entering a new phase and need strategy that holds up under pressure.
• Mergers, integrations, and organizational change
  When clarity, trust, and execution risk must be addressed early to prevent long-term friction and stalled momentum.

Our work goes beyond facilitation. It includes deep listening, one-on-one conversations, and structured working sessions designed to surface misalignment, cultural friction, and execution risk early. This allows leadership teams to address the real issues holding strategy back before they become systemic problems.

What Our Clients Say

Thank you for creating such an inspiring and impactful event. The room was filled with remarkable energy and engagement. It was so uplifting and fun—I left feeling totally energized.

Samantha Lewis,

Director of Radiology Children's Health

It was a well-organized event with a strong focus on people-first leadership. The emphasis on radical honesty, serving with humility, explaining the why and deferring praise are fundamentals that truly resonate.

Troy Derksen,

Dir SHI International

Having you (Brittany) and Mike walk us through things that are both familiar to our day-to-day work, but were in need of far greater shared focus and prioritization. If we did not achieve this level of unification, we would just go through the next year haphazardly, doing the best we can, and I wonder if some people would lose hope all together of achieving our goals. This time was extremely well spent because the team is focused on the work that needs to be accomplished and eager to achieve our goals together. You (Brittany) and Mike do a fantastic job and I recommend that people hire Everest Collective and get to work.

Jonathan Sandford,

President University of Dallas

I would not be the leader I am today without Mike Fromhold’s tutelage. He has led multi-billion dollar divisions and been a CEO of a company. My firsthand experience was when he led a group of Executive Leaders, (overseeing markets like LA, NYC, D.C) through unimaginable adversity during COVID and grew! The members of that team, which lasted about 2.5 years consistently spoke about it as the greatest team they had ever been a part of. I’ve seen Brittany first hand level up leaders and transform teams through her own leadership and consulting. Hiring Everest; Mike and Brittany, to elevate your business is a no brainer!

David Matthews,

CEO of ZP Group

I absolutely loved the opportunity to discuss what was working well and what needed improvement within our team. The retreat has given us a clear plan moving forward and outlined the steps we need to take to reach our goals. It was refreshing to leave with a common objective that we can all strive towards together. I now have a solid understanding of my role and what is expected from me, which makes me excited to contribute to our success.

Nicole Spangler,

Account Executive - GT Foods

It's essential! Going to a different location, leaving your laptop at home, not looking at your phone--all of that isolation you need in order to have the time to reflect and think strategically. Yes, it's essential to create opportunities for strategic thinking and to do so regularly. Thank you guys for the work that you've done. It was really a wonderful experience, including the preparatory work and the individual interviews ahead of the retreat. Thank you for leading us through the process of connecting, discovering, and then finally growing.

Matthias Vorwerk,

Provost University of Dallas

I was surprised at how impactful it was. I've read some business fables that are always nice but to be able to put things in order and I think it was helpful to have a third party be able to operate the conversation because you don’t have quite the same dynamics you might have with a colleague or boss…I thought that was really effective.

Ashton Ellis,

VP of Development

Everest Collective totally lit a fire under my company. Brittany and Mike’s workshops sparked enthusiasm and connection that will help us deploy clever strategies to win in business. Their leadership coaching pumped up our team’s drive, giving us practical tools to stay motivated and make bold, confident decisions together. They’ve truly energized myself and team, getting everyone hyped and united to push our goals forward with real passion!
