Retreats & off-sites
The most valuable asset you have is the time, energy and engagement of your team.
That’s the first principle that guides our approach to designing facilitated experiences: the facilitation has to deliver an outsized, long-term impact to be worth the direct and opportunity cost of the session.
Here’s how we deliver outstanding facilitation experiences:
Relentless customization and preparation.
Your team deserves the best, and no off-the-shelf, canned formula will cut it. Period.
Connect before content.
Each session design is meticulously crafted to establish the right climate for connection on an emotional level. This creates the trust and goodwill required for success.
Responsiveness.
Facilitated sessions are carefully planned in fifteen-minute increments. However, it is the group’s session—and the agenda, approach, and focus will adapt on the fly to whatever participants need.
Mix of synchronous and asynchronous elements.
Stewardship of participants’ time and attention means designing sessions as a continuum of participation—before, during, and after—to deliver meaningful, lasting results.
Fun.
Life is short, and facilitated sessions should be energizing, not exhausting. One key indicator of performance for us is how much laughter is shared in the room.
About our retreats and off-sites
My role is to create a container to hold vital conversations that don’t happen anywhere else. It’s my firm belief that conversation is the smallest unit of change.
Every session is unique and starts with the question: What is the problem we aim to solve?
I facilitate a range of sessions focused on building relational infrastructure, including:
- All-staff off-sites
- Executive, leadership, and board retreats
- Team retreats
“I’m here for your success, not your comfort.”
