Organising an Executive X program involves careful planning and coordination to ensure a successful and impactful experience for all participants. This guide provides a concise overview of the essential steps needed to host a program for a small group of 10-15 clients, focusing on delivering a high-quality and personalised experience.
Here’s the email sequence we’ll be sending to participants in the lead-up to the program :
Step 1: Send Client Email Post Registration
Upon signing up for Executive X, it is critical an email is sent by the James with confirmation of the program and next steps including:
Welcome Pack
Medical Forms and Waivers
Payment information
Transportation (If required)
Send email to: Clients
Email Subject: [14-Days to Go] What you Need To Know...
Hi XXXX,
Hope you had a great Easter Break. I am so looking forward to seeing you in the Blue Mountains in 2 weeks!
I've recorded a brief video message for you. Here are a couple of important things to complete your registration and get ready for the event:
Read the welcome pack. It includes everything you need to know and prepare to ensure you are ready to go.
Then, take a few minutes to fill out the medical waiver form.
To finish your registration, please process your payment here.
Does this all make sense?
If you have any questions, please give me a buzz (0402 904 334) and I can talk you through the details.
We're only a few weeks away and I can't wait to see you for Executive X 2024!
Cheers,
James
Step 2: Create Client Folder
Create a client folder so that we can store all the relevant info for the program.
In this file are all the documents needed to manage not just from an administration perspective but offsite during a program, from an operational perspective. Follow these simple steps to create a new client folder.
Note:
In labelling a 'Client Folder', always follow this format: [INSERT CLIENT NAME] [INSERT DATES]
In labelling 'Documents' in the Client Folder, always follow this format: [CLIENT NAME] [TYPE OF DOCUMENT] [YEAR]
In labelling 'Quotes' and 'Invoices' in the folders, always follow this format: [EXTERNAL SUPPLIER] - [CLIENT NAME] - [TYPE OF PRODUCT] - [TYPE OF DOCUMENT]
Populate once the folder is created.
The client folder should contain the files listed below which can be found in MyAdventure Group > Experiences > Program Delivery > Templates:
Medical & Waiver Form (Google Form) - see procedure below
Tent Map and Allocation
Folder (Labelled: Quotes)
Folder (Labelled: Invoices)

EMAIL 2: Lessons from the Panthers: A Preview for Executive X
Hi Anthony,
Ahead of your upcoming Executive X experience, I wanted to share a resource I think you’ll enjoy — 15 Lessons for High Performance.
Back in January last year, we hosted the Penrith Panthers for their pre-season camp. While they didn’t take home another premiership this year, their consistency and culture still make them one of the most high-performing teams I’ve ever worked with. In a few weeks, you’ll get a taste of some of the activities they completed as a team.
Inside the e-book, you’ll explore:
How strong culture drives accountability and trust
Why aligned leadership and clear communication matter
How resilience fuels growth through challenge
The role of reflection in sustaining success
Practical ways to bring these lessons to your own team
It’s a quick read, packed with insights you can start applying before we meet at Executive X.
I’m looking forward to unpacking these ideas with you and exploring how they can elevate performance across your organisation.
Cheers
James
EMAIL 3: Here’s what awaits you at Executive X Base Camp
Hi Anthony,
We’re excited to welcome you to Executive X 2025! To help you prepare for the program, we’ve put together a short slide deck that gives you a closer look at our Base Camp facilities, amenities, and tent allocations.
Inside, you’ll find details on:
Base Camp setup and key amenities
Tent allocation and bedding arrangements
What to expect during your stay
This will give you a clear picture of what’s waiting for you and ensure you’re comfortable and ready for the experience ahead.
I can’t wait to see you at Executive X for an unforgettable program!
Cheers
James
Hi Anthony,
Thank you again for attending last week’s Executive X program. I’ve put together a photo album that captures some of the key moments from our time together — I hope you enjoy it!
I also really appreciate your interest in the Workshop, Team Offsite, and Leadership/Development Journey programs. I’d be excited to explore how we could bring this to Spark Renewables in 2026. When you have a moment, could we schedule a quick call this week or next? I’d love to hear your feedback and discuss how we might work together.
Please feel free to select a convenient 15-minute slot by booking here.
I’m looking forward to our conversation.
