”Development weekends serve as a unique opportunity to gather in fellowship, connect with others both personally and professionally, ask great questions and learn from the successes and struggles of others. Andrew has an innate ability and desire to draw the leader out within each of us and has thoughtfully crafted weekends away that challenge, inspire and recharge. He champions and celebrates the successes of others in ways that encourage attendees to be bold and lead well both at home and in the workplace.”

Bringing together highly motivated individuals with diverse arrays of personal and professional experiences is a rare thing. The development weekend did just that. That mix challenged my critical thinking abilities alongside others and refocused me on where I was taking my career path."

“I attended the Fall 2019 event. For me, it was the perfect balance of learning, networking and having a great time. It's very rare to find one event that can do all three of those things well, actually I've never seen it before. All in a small group environment, I learned from successful business leaders, met guys who I wouldn't have otherwise and had a phenomenal weekend full of outdoor activities (like fly fishing, cycling, and fire pits) and really incredible food. I would 100% recommend it. I hope to go again soon.”

"I am thankful I attended a Hood Strategies Development Weekend. The entire event was organized and purposeful. The speakers had a wide range of wisdom and application, the food was incredible and the time to enjoy the land with great people made for a perfect experience. Also, getting to sit down with Andrew one on one to discuss topics on a personal level brought the whole experience together. Looking forward to attending the next event!"
