Tall Pony Ranch Retreats
Tall Pony Ranch Retreats
It ain't no vacation
The guest book at the Tall Pony Ranch (TPR) reads like the Who's Who of the Staffing Industry. But, the greatest compliment is that 6 out of every 10 companies, who have empowered their recruiters in these two days of secluded training, have booked their next Ranch visit prior to leaving the property. Each group leaves with the feeling that this is
their company's special place. Their retreat. A place to re-energize, to invent, to question, to intellectually stretch and to realize the importance of Recruiter Teamwork.
It is a place where owners bring their teams to formally announce and begin their commitment to "the next level." It is a place where individual "desk" mentality is crushed by a formal system that overwhelms and out powers isolated talent that carries the team. It is where owners take their staff when they decide that their long term financial goals must rely on a consistent system, a consistent methodology, not just a good hire.
Tall Pony Ranch is located in Parkville, Missouri, nestled in a valley surrounded by rolling oak forests, cattle, horses, herds of deer, wild turkey, and bobcat. It is the place where industry trainer and President of the Morgan Consulting Group, Peter Leffkowitz, his wife and two boys call home. A working ranch raising hay and horses, which Peter and family pretty much run single handedly. The unusual part of the equation is that Peter uses no tractors for his agricultural work. The ranch operates on horse power, just draft horses and mules. Hay work, logging, seed bed preparation, snow plowing are all done by teams of Percheron, Belgian draft horses and mules. Herding dogs, chickens, hand-hewn Amish built log cabins, bass ponds, challenging trails and hilltop sunsets are the backdrops. But, the ranch extends beyond stimulating elements.
This is a real school that achieves measurable results and is accredited toward industry CEU's. The ranch experience, however, is limited to teams of nine (9) or less.
