Under Stress, Misalignment Surfaces
Development Doesn’t Stick
You’ve spent $50K on keynotes and workshops. Six months later, your team can’t remember or apply a single thing they discussed.
Decisions Slow Down
Your leadership team interprets “strategy” differently. When things get complicated, decisions stall.
You’re Carrying the Weight Alone
You’re exhausted from being the only one who can make the call. You need an empowered team you can trust when things get hard.
You deserve leadership development that actually works.
Historic Battlefields. Proven Frameworks.
Lasting Alignment.
Leaders don't remember slide decks. They remember where they were standing, what they felt, and what they decided together.
We take your leadership team to historic battlefields—like Gettysburg, Normandy, and the Alamo—where consequential decisions were made under real pressure. Walking the ground where history was shaped, your leaders examine judgment, communication, and intent through a military leadership lens.
But we're not doing battlefield tourism. Every program includes a structured, 94-page booklet based on proven leadership frameworks your team can actually use. Combined with pre- and post-engagement, we ensure insights lead to behavior change.
The Army spends decades perfecting the frameworks and language its leaders use. When your team encounters leadership lessons on the battlefield, they can't passively absorb them. They have to actively translate those frameworks to their business challenges.
The result? Shared language. Stronger alignment. Leaders who can handle the unknown.
“True leadership is tested, developed, and defined when the stakes are high. Leadership Experiences bring that to life.”
—David Fivecoat, Founder, The Fivecoat Consulting Group
A Proven Journey That Creates Real Change
ASSESS
Clarity Before the Battlefield
Before your team steps foot on a battlefield, we establish a clear leadership baseline through targeted pre-work and Hogan assessments.
Why it matters: You can't align a team if you don't know where misalignment lives.
EXPERIENCE
Where Leadership Becomes Real
For three days, your team examines judgment, communication, and decision-making on historic battlefields where real leaders faced irreversible consequences.
Why it matters: Shared experiences create a common language that your team carries back to the business.
INTEGRATE
Where Insight Becomes Behavior
Follow-up reinforcement emails, 45-day after-action review sessions, and coaching ensure insights translate into action.
Why it matters: Without integration, even powerful experiences fade.
Led by Leaders Who’ve Been There
We understand what it's like to lead under pressure, with no room for error.
In the military, unclear intent costs lives. In business, it breaks teams, stalls growth, and costs you your best people.
You shouldn’t have to carry the leadership weight alone.

Over time, organizations experience improved retention of high-potential leaders, greater confidence promoting from within, and more resilient teams during change and crisis.
What Leaders are Saying
★★★★★
"I can name four or five things from the battlefield. Other leadership classes? I can't remember one. This gave us a shared language we still use three years later."
Benny
VP of Operations, Manufacturing
★★★★★
"I was fortunate enough to experience a leadership experience with David Fivecoat in Gettysburg. The lessons in leadership and strategic thought were what we needed as a team… The framework is still organized and accomplished months later."

Or: Invest in Transformation That Lasts
You’re going to spend $50K on leadership development anyway. Make it count.
