Some people have a negative association with the word "retreat," thinking of boondoggles or golfing weekends. We are referring to serious work, and we only "retreat" to avoid the distractions of the office.

If you're going down this road, prepare yourself to confront the real issues--in front of everyone. Because that's where the opportunity for making productive change really lies.

In addition to direct consulting, we offer speaking, training, coaching, and mediation services. Learn more here.

For staffs or teams who experience performance problems or need to significantly increase their current performance level, we have done one-day retreats. This not a “retreat” in the corporate, boondoggle sense. This is simply a one-day facilitated meeting, often out of the office (to reduce distractions) where the team or staff can focus more clearly on the issues impeding performance.

The retreat is usually preceded by a individual interviews with all participants, so we can organize the information and design a structure for the day that will focus on the most important issues facing the team. The day itself is an intense conversation, facilitated carefully, where the participants can identify, understand, and take action on these critical issues. In most cases we also provide some tools or frameworks that participants can use to help communication continue back in the office.

In some cases, retreats are combined with individual coaching for team members.
