Your Company’s Success Depends Upon Your Leaders
Misalignment, misunderstandings and misdirection. These occur easily with new leadership teams or established leaders that are in the thick of things.
Without room to think and regroup, you know your organization is at risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
You’re here because what's been done is no longer working
-
Thinking you can run the retreat yourself?
A self-facilitated retreat usually is less effective because the internal facilitator either lacks credibility with the participants or, if they are one of the participants, they often find it difficult to both lead the group and participate in the discussions.
-
You already have a facilitator—why change?
Using a facilitator you are comfortable with has its advantages, but sometimes a fresh perspective can benefit the group. And not all consultants and trainers are effective with the nuances of a retreat format.
-
Not sure if a virtual retreat will work?
There are definite advantages to meeting in person for a retreat.
But with travel restrictions and busy schedules, moving your retreat online doesn't mean you sacrifice impact and effectiveness.
Using our multi-camera Virtual Training Studio enables us to deliver high impact retreats using Zoom or Teams.
