Friday, October 13, 2006 Manitou Springs, CO




We spent a week at the Cliff House in Manitou Springs, CO while I attended a leadership development training with the Center for Creative Leadership. It was a great training, with lots of good feedback, tools, and learnings. The most fascinating thing about it for me was that I was in class with 23 very smart and accomplished people, most of whom were working with large, global companies. One person was managing teams of people in 24 different time zones; imagine the complexities of scheduling a meeting in that environment.

During the week while I was at training, Brett explored Manitou Springs, Colorado Springs, and took a short trip to Denver to meet with Jennifer's friend Steve. Steve graciously took Brett on a tour of Denver neighborhoods and out for a beer.

My training was completed on Friday and, free once again, we restarted our travels. We drove through the Garden of the Gods http://www.gardenofgods.com/home/index.cfm which is a valley of arched and eroded rock formations.








We also took the cog railroad up to the top of Pikes Peak for a spectacular, but cold, view of the valley. http://www.cograilway.com/.
