Join Tom Feaster—former U.S. National Team Rowing Coach— for an experience that fuses proven team development principles with the physical and mental demands of rowing.

In two mornings of engaging classroom work based on Patrick Lencioni’s Five Dysfunctions of a Team, participants will build a foundation of trust, communication, commitment, and accountability. In the afternoons, they’ll apply these lessons by rowing together in a real crew shell, where alignment, mutual reliance, and synchronization are essential for success.

Challenge your managers to lead, trust, and perform together.

This workshop is ideal for middle managers, newly formed teams, and leaders preparing for expanded responsibility who need to move from a collection of talented individuals to a unified team.

Middle management often struggles not because of a lack of technical skill, but because of gaps in collaboration, communication, and team dynamics. The Rowing Workshop addresses these challenges head-on through a unique blend of leadership theory and experiential learning.

Your team will benefit by:

  • Understanding how rowing parallels the workplace: no substitutions, no timeouts—everyone matters.

  • Trust-building in action: success depends on working as one, not as individuals.

  • Communication under pressure: clear, concise information makes or breaks performance.

  • Leadership from every seat: each participant's effort affects the whole.

No rowing experience needed, just a willingness to lead. Participants are guided safely and professionally by experienced rowing coaches.
