Cancellation Policy

In preparation for our programs, we initiate many administrative and logistical actions related to your registration which incur a variety of costs prior to the program launch. Therefore, the following fees apply, based on the amount of advance notice you provide to us:

* Phase 1 – this refers to the first day of the online pre-work program in the Learn Phase provided by Thayer. Note that no transfers or substitutions shall be allowed after the start of the Learn Phase.

Substitutions

Substitution requests (i.e., to substitute registration in this Course to a different participant) must be submitted at least 3 days before Phase 1 of the Course begins. To be considered a completed substitution request, the request must be made in writing and include all required participant registration information for the new participant. Otherwise, the appropriate Transfer Fee or Cancellation Fee policy will be applied.

Transfers

Transfer requests (i.e., to transfer registration by the same participant to a different Thayer program) must be made in writing and indicate the new date or new program the participant wishes to attend. Otherwise, the appropriate Cancellation Fee policy will be applied. The remaining tuition balance will be applied to the new program dates. Tuition will become 100% non-refundable if a participant transfers more than 2 times or does not attend another program within 12 months of the original program start date. Transfers to the requested new program are not guaranteed as space may not be available.

Cancellations

If requested, any remaining balance of a cancelled Course’s payment can be applied to another Thayer program within 12 months of the original Course’s Phase 1 date. After 12 months, the balance is non-refundable.

If Thayer cancels the Course due to an act of God or any other condition reasonably beyond Thayer’s control that makes it impossible or unreasonable to hold the Course, Thayer shall not provide any refunds or credits; provided, however, that Thayer shall make reasonable efforts to transfer your payment and registration to another similar program.

Thayer may decide to convert an outdoor experiential program into a comparable indoor experiential program due to weather conditions, without any liability or refund owing to any participant.

Thayer Client Results

Transformational, Innovative and Empowering

Cincinnati Reds

Having Thayer Leadership work with our organization was a memorable and valuable experience for our players, coaches, and front office. With interesting concrete examples from the faculty’s own experience, they demonstrated how the military develops a leadership culture, and got us thinking about how we could incorporate this into the Reds culture. With the credibility of military experience and character, the faculty challenged our players to think about their own views of leadership. It was a unique and enriching experience, and the effects of the experience will positively influence our organization.

Deloitte

When we brought the board to West Point, it was pivotal for me and the board. I've always been a big fan of kind the military way of doing things and how you build teams and the trust that’s built there. When I went through that it was pretty amazing to just see how people just react differently. They open up their vulnerabilities. They listen differently. Even board member who thinks they know everything listens differently, and so you really have seen—and I will tell you, that experience created the board. I would say the teamwork that was created there was amazing. And it lasted. It’s still lasting. In fact, every now and then I'll bring up some of the principles that we learned there.

Point72

Dan Rice, President of Thayer Leadership, spoke with the senior management of Point72 from Ukraine during an air raid about leadership, the relevance of Thayer's Leadership's curriculum for business leaders, and the diplomatic, informational, military, and economic conditions facing the Ukrainian nation and its military. Addressing any of these topics well would be a tall feat for anyone, but Dan was able to expertly navigate all and left such a positive and powerful impression that Point72’s leaders were eager to hear more from Dan and the Thayer team! And while nothing is ever truly ‘plug and play’, working with Dan and his team is the closest thing you’ll find in corporate leadership development today based on my experience. Again, a superb discussion led by a talented professional that was made possible by an equally talented and professional team. I simply can’t recommend Thayer Leadership highly enough!
