Reframing the Conversation

Welcome to episode 7 of Reframing the Conversation where we discuss effective ways to host retreats and off-sites for teams. Stephen and Dave have years of experience facilitating impactful off-sites so they had a lot to share about creating a space for powerful work to get done- away from the office. We talk about how to make sure a team comes back to the office feeling ready, who off-sites are for, how to show up to an off-site, the importance of an experienced facilitator and much more. Join us and start preparing for your next company off-site.

So maybe this is the ONE episode you need to be a great leader? Maybe. Or maybe not. Tune in to find out.
