Have you ever had a conversation with someone and walked away thinking, “Wow, what was that about?!” Your reaction to something that was said or done (whether or not you verbalized it) included involuntary bristling, extreme discomfort, or just plain frustration. It hit a nerve, and you don’t even know why. Maybe it was something you know needs to be addressed but haven’t gotten to yet – or something that you’ve tried to fix and can’t seem to find the answer. Or even worse, you had no idea that it was happening in Your company, in Your department, on Your team….
It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and not take the time to take a step back to analyze, to rejuvenate, to plan, to prioritize, to strategize. Are you focusing on the most important aspects of your company? Do you have the right people working on the right things? Are you and others in the organization really leveraging all of the resources you have as effectively as you could be? Do you have ways for people on the front lines to share ideas for improvement and if so, when was the last time you heard some of those ideas? What are the industry trends that could have an impact on your future and how can you be proactive about maximizing the benefits – and minimizing the damage?
Get away from the daily activities of the office to discover ways to make a positive impact on the people you lead, the products you sell, the industry you belong to, and ultimately, the bottom line of your company. Instead of saying you don’t have time to, realize that you don’t have time NOT to.
A retreat is an excellent way to step away from the grind and into the mind…to collaborate with your team to build (or rebuild) a solid foundation on which to move forward. Facilitated sessions are a way for you to join your team in planning your strategy. Half-day sessions provide an opportunity to improve a specific project or program, and with up to a two-day retreat, you and your team can address more elaborate and longer-term organizational changes.
