What Instructors Can Expect
At Arc Business Retreats we invite experts to teach in specific fields, for a very exclusive group of executives.
We call our courses "Retreats" because we do them for a small group of executives in a intimate environment where all the executive participants can have a good time while learning a lot.
Besides that, we adapt to all instructor's needs and own style. Our team has been arranging a lot of different stuff for our guests, from helping our guest experts to visiting castles, gruttens, fishing, renting cars (for those who want).
You can expect professionalism, adaptability, respect, kindness and fun.
