Why We Built this.
L3 was created for a challenge that is rarely named plainly: parenting a child with autism or other serious neurodevelopmental differences will fundamentally impact your leadership style, core values, marriage, choices, and your sense of the future, yet there are very few places to talk honestly about all three at once.
What This Weekend Is For
The weekend is designed to help participants do two things well: understand more clearly who this journey has made them, and think more concretely about the life their child will need “after us.” It is reflective, but it is also practical. The goal is not catharsis alone. The goal is better decisions, stronger relationships, and a more deliberate future.
What Makes It Different
Most gatherings for parents of autistic children are built around services, education, or advocacy. Most gatherings for senior executives leave no room for this part of life at all.
L3 sits in the narrow space between them: a private room for accomplished people who want to speak honestly, think carefully, and leave with something more useful than inspiration.
The Three Pillars
Leadership
Parenting your child changes what you tolerate, what you notice, and what you believe matters.
Laughter
Shared humor lowers defenses and makes harder conversations possible.
Legacy
The central question is not only financial. It is human: who will know, love, protect, and advocate for your child when you are gone?
What You’ll Leave With
A short list of conversations to begin in the next year.
A more specific view of what an “after us” plan should include.
A trusted circle of peers to count on after the weekend.
A clearer story of how this journey has helped shape your leadership style.
A clearer sense of your true north — and the words to share it with your team.
Why Vail
Vail gives the weekend both beauty and privacy. The setting matters because the conversations are demanding. The environment should feel calm, elevated, and fully handled without becoming performative.
