Yardstick Management Institute – Summer 2022

LEADERSHIP & VULNERABILITY

Accelerating Change to Achieve
Transformative Success

JULY 27TH-29TH | ST. SIMONS ISLAND, GA

Yardstick Management Institute was launched in January 2022 in St. Simons Island, GA. It’s inaugural success led to a second Institute this past summer, 2022, where a group of leaders representing some of the most prominent global companies (including Meta, Netflix, The Coca-Cola Company, Reddit, Ralph Lauren, Amazon, UPS, Pfizer, Whirlpool, Mailchimp, Jobcase, and Indeed) came together to explore the power of vulnerability. The retreat was an eye-opening, unforgettable experience with key takeaways for a more diverse, equal, and inclusive corporate America.

About St. Simons Island

This summer, our Institute returned to St. Simons Island, Georgia to continue to make a statement on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Because of the region’s history of rice harvesting plantations, Yardstick Management chose this setting with the purpose of giving the land a new meaning and every component of the Institute purpose and intention.
