Motivate & Inspire

The Wildwood Lakeview Executive Conference Center serves as your retreat headquarters for everything from morning yoga to day-long or half-day executive leadership meetings of up to 40 attendees.  While fully equipped with modern audio-visual equipment and room-darkening capabilities, the Conference Center boasts commanding views of Cordell Hull Lake – a truly unique location for your executives to unplug and connect with each other in a relaxed environment.

The vision and design of Wildwood’s executive retreat offering has been driven by its owner, John Deane. Before starting Wildwood, John served as a healthcare consultant working at the intersection of the physician/hospital relationship with over 250 health systems across the United States. He was a frequently invited speaker at over 500 corporate board retreats over 30 years as well as planning and leading executive retreats for his own leadership team.

“The time we spent in retreat with colleagues was invariably the most impactful,” says Deane. “It’s amazing how the power of gathering a leadership team around the fire pit or on a pontoon boat ride can foster breakthrough moments that shape a company’s future. At Wildwood we delight in offering the power of play as a way of inducing innovation and inspiration for our corporate retreat clients.”
