Sustaining Excellence: Leadership Intensive Itinerary at the The Valley Venues

Monday April 13 – Thursday 16th, 2026

A living classroom for leaders, builders, and stewards of what’s next

This is not a retreat to escape your life.

It’s a working gathering—designed to help you think more clearly, lead more wisely, and return home grounded, aligned, and the tools you need to be successful.

Join Paul Cummings and Todd Wickstrom and The Cummings Institute for Self Mastery for an immersive, in-person experience where timeless wisdom meets real-world leadership—held in a quiet, inspiring mountain setting designed to support deep focus, honest conversation, and lasting change.

You’ll spend three intentional days learning directly from the teachers of the Cummings Institute for Self-Mastery, engaging in dialogue, guided practices, and practical frameworks you can immediately apply to your work, family, and leadership.

This is a small, in-person leadership intensive.

Over three intentional days together, you’ll experience:

Mornings that begin in stillness —

coffee, fresh air, and space to think clearly before the work begins

Focused leadership sessions

held in an environment that supports honesty, discipline, and depth

Unhurried conversations —

the kind that don’t happen on Zoom or between calendar blocks

Time outdoors

to reset perspective and reconnect with what actually matters

Evenings designed for integration

reflection, dialogue, and rest instead of information overload

A setting that supports high standards

without pressure, posturing, or performance

A Place Designed for Clarity


Tucked into the quiet rhythms of nature, The Valley Venues was created as a place to slow the body down so the mind can finally catch up. Morning sunrises are unreal. Evenings invite long conversations, deep rest, and honest reflection.

This is a setting that naturally lowers the noise—internally and externally—so real leadership work can happen. No ballrooms. Creekside walks. Just space, beauty, and intention.

The Teachers

Paul Cummings

Paul Cummings is a globally recognized leadership authority, bestselling author, and founder of the Cummings Institute.

​​​​​​​Over the past 35 years, he has personally trained more than 2,000,000 people worldwide and delivered over one billion minutes of online video leadership training.

His #1 Barnes & Noble bestselling book, It All Matters, introduced his powerful Level 10 Philosophy—a disciplined standard for living and leading at maximum capacity.
On May 13, 2018, Paul suffered a massive stroke that left him with advanced aphasia, unable to speak, read, or write. Rather than retreat, he applied his own principles—practicing up to 14 hours a day—to rebuild his brain and return to teaching.
Today, his message carries greater authority than ever.

Paul doesn’t just teach resilience, discipline, and execution.

He embodies them.

At the Cummings Institute, excellence is not encouraged.

It is expected.
