What Past Participants Are Saying About Our Events
What Does The Aspen Daily News Say about Ice Cold Leader Events ?
It sounds dramatic, but it was effective: As Errol Doebler, founder and CEO of Ice Cold Leader, spoke to the roughly 25 people who circled him Saturday morning at the Beyul Retreat in Meredith, he recounted what was going through his mind as he fell 30 feet to what he was sure at the time would be his death.
At the time, he’d been a Navy SEAL platoon commander, and he and his team were rehearsing a ship-takedown exercise on waters that the commanding officer had initially deemed too dangerous..
Day Retreat Training Topics Include
Learn and Practice Advanced Martial Arts and Wellness Techniques
A strong martial arts practice reaches far beyond strength and power. Here are just a few of the leadership principles learned through the practice:
Self awareness and intention: Martial Arts requires a high level of intention as you move through positions. This same level of intention can be applied as you interact with, prioritize, and support those around you.
Presence and mindfulness: Turning inwards and focusing on the present can offer you a sense of peace as you approach life and work. Remembering to focus on what’s in front of you leads to an increased sense of mission.
Stress management: Breathwork and meditation calm the nervous system. Learning how to control your emotions during stressful situations is a vital practice as you navigate your home and workplace.
Go far beyond the fundamentals of cold exposure and embark on a advanced Wim Hof breathing and leadership experience.
Attendees will learn advanced Wim Hof techniques followed by guided breathwork and a Wim Hof style experience in nature.
Walk away with a strong mindset and increased mental clarity. Participants will receive personal instruction and feedback throughout the experience and will leave the workshop with the knowledge and skills to incorporate both yoga and the Wim Hof Method into a daily practice.

What If You Could Learn to Lead Like a Navy SEAL?
With over 20 combined years as a Navy SEAL and FBI Special Agent Errol believes that combat, in all its various forms, is the ultimate expression of consequence. If combat leadership is not done correctly one of three consequences will be realized, all of which are unacceptable: mission failure, injury, or death. Errol also believes that the leadership exhibited during times of chaos and struggle should not be vastly different than the leadership exhibited during times of relative calm and accord. There is no, “Break glass in case of emergency” leadership playbook. The same leadership that is applied during chaos on the battlefield is the same leadership that should be applied in business and at home. As such, Errol developed a leadership process that should be applied to all aspects of our lives in times of both chaos and harmony. His leadership process creates a common leadership language that ensures consistency and clarity, but allows for the necessary flexibility to meet any challenge or circumstance.
Errol believes in the power of leadership. He believes it is leadership that can solve any problem. He believes his process, born out of the blood, sweat, and tears of mistakes and successes over a lifetime, will create an environment of clarity in purpose and behavior that will sustain you during hard times and propel you during the good times.
