CUSTOM RETREATS
Business Challenges We Can Help With
Purposeful Retreats Designed for Maximum Impact
You may find cookie cutters in our kitchen, but not at The Leadership Lodge. Every retreat itinerary is built around your business goals and designed to deliver the outcomes you want to take back with you to the office. All of it through experiences, activities, and natural settings you can’t replicate in a corporate boardroom.
Here are just a few of the “why’s”
that have brought organizations to the Leadership Lodge. If any of these keep you up at night, don’t worry. We can help.
As legendary baseball player – and occasional philosopher – Yogi Berra once said, “If you don’t know where you’re going, you might wind up someplace else.” So often, businesses take action without defining a clear set of goals and objectives, leading to operational inefficiencies, disengaged team members, and reactive decision making.
If you find yourself with a lot of ideas, but aren’t sure where to start, we can create an agenda for a Strategic Planning retreat that’s focused on turning those ideas into actionable strategies by:
- Exploring “blue ocean” opportunities.
- Prioritizing initiatives that align with what you’re “best in the world” at.
- Strengthening alignment around mission and values.
- Building roadmaps and action plans that are realistic, ready to implement, and accountable.
Developing highly capable doers into highly inspirational leaders is a challenge every growing business faces as the need to decentralize decisioning making arises. “Delegate and elevate” is a common theme in leadership development-focused retreats that’s emphasized and re-emphasized through hands-on experiences and moments of self-reflection. These can help:
- Push emerging leaders outside of their comfort zones and step outside of familiar patterns.
- Foster better collaboration and communication between team leaders.
- Gain a better understanding of how the behaviors of leaders impact their teams.
- Instill confidence and trust in the fact that ‘letting go is the only way to grow.’
Farms need silos. Your business doesn’t. Siloed communication and behavior are typically symptoms of a bigger issue. Unclear goals, competing priorities, or a weak culture can allow fear and mistrust to trump collaboration and unity. Our facilitators can design working sessions and team activities that:
- Uncover and eliminate bottlenecks and operational inefficiencies caused by business units working independently instead of collaboratively.
- Lead to the creation of a unifying communication framework shared by all that clearly outlines priorities, goals, and expectations.
- Identify “culture drains” in your business. People, processes, clients that are not aligned with your core values and how to deal with them.
Sometimes the best corporate retreats don’t focus on business at all. Giving your team uninterrupted time and intentional space to reflect, recharge, and reconnect isn’t just a reward. It’s a smart strategy to retain your best and brightest, maintain a high level of operational effectiveness, and develop your team members as whole people and not just as dedicated doers.
Wellness retreats are typically designed with the individual in mind, rather than the business as a whole. Our facilitators will guide your team through experiences that:
- Help build greater self-awareness through intentional self-reflection.
- Develop sustainable habits to ensure their personal values never take a back seat to their professional responsibilities.
- Focus solely on relaxation and rejuvenation, with no agenda and no other purpose than to enjoy the peaceful, natural beauty of the woods and water that surround our resort.
