Chattanooga, Tennessee

Join The Fivecoat Consulting Group for an immersive leadership experience in Chattanooga, Tennessee, at the very sites where battlefield setbacks gave way to bold comebacks. THE ROCK: LEADERSHIP LESSONS FROM THE BATTLES OF CHICKAMAUGA AND CHATTANOOGA explores how clear intent, trust in your team, and calm under fire can steady leadership and shape outcomes when pressure is at its peak

In the fall of 1863, Union and Confederate forces clashed in a series of battles around Chattanooga—where the stakes were high, the terrain was punishing, and leadership under pressure made all the difference. From the near-catastrophe at Chickamauga to the daring breakout at Missionary Ridge, leaders like Ulysses S. Grant, George H. Thomas, and Braxton Bragg faced broken lines, shifting alliances, and enormous uncertainty. It was here that Thomas earned his enduring nickname: The Rock of Chickamauga.

THE ROCK: LEADERSHIP LESSONS FROM THE BATTLES OF CHICKAMAUGA AND CHATTANOOGA takes your team to these historic battlefields to examine how leaders respond when the plan breaks down, when clarity fades, and when resilience is the only path forward. It’s a powerful setting to explore the enduring importance of presence, trust, and adaptability in today’s complex environments.
