Setting the Executive Standard

I was in Phuket co hosting a high level corporate summit, and we had an elite group of international investors arriving who were completely exhausted from their long haul flights. Instead of making them endure a grueling two hour road transfer to the resort district, we surprised them by chartering the whole six passenger helicopter.

It completely transformed the dynamic of the business trip.

Going from the arrival lounge straight to the helipad allowed our board members to step into a beautifully quiet, air conditioned cabin and settle in immediately. With the premium noise canceling Bose headsets, we were actually able to run through a quick, confidential executive briefing over the coast without anyone else listening in. Looking down at the emerald islands while finalizing our talking points was spectacular. They arrived at the hotel refreshed, focused, and incredibly impressed by the level of operational execution. If you are hosting VIP clients for a conference or retreat, bypassing the island traffic is a necessary investment. It shows you value their time.
