If you’re responsible for planning and facilitating a retreat, a meeting, or even a team gathering, Merianne, Sheila and Jeff can help you avoid a flop. To begin with, do you know the Ten Reasons Not to Hold a Retreat? (Click here to find out…)
What works in leading a meeting isn’t the same as facilitating a retreat, where you have more time to dig deeply into issues and ideas. And to have a cohesive team, everybody has leadership responsibilities, no matter who the “official” facilitator is.
We teach facilitation skills for all these situations, in several formats.
In a Retreats That Work Facilitation Skills® training program, your guides will take you on an interactive hike through the steps of conceiving, planning, designing, leading, evaluating, and following up on offsite retreats.
You’ll practice various scenarios, experiment with an array of facilitation techniques to apply in different situations, and gain confidence as you sharpen your skills.
You’ll learn how to avoid the Top Retreat Design Mistakes that can cause a retreat to fail. One example is “Not taking the Big Kahuna Effect into account.” Curious? Click here to learn more about eleven retreat design pitfalls.

How much time do you and your colleagues spend every week in meetings that are unfocused, unproductive, and unnecessary? What a waste! But meetings can be an effective means of sharing ideas, addressing problems, and moving an agenda forward. We offer a two-day training session in which participants will learn how to plan and lead meetings that “work.”
