The Executive Retreat

An executive retreat is an opportunity for established groups to meet together with a facilitator to improve group intimacy and functioning. While each group is unique, with different members, purposes, challenges and goals, many fall into repetitive patterns and bad habits that impede group functioning. Members get locked into limited roles, conflicts are buried and go underground, trust diminishes and the group becomes a shadow of what it could be.

After carefully observing the group in action and ascertaining its strengths and weaknesses, we focus on learning new tools to improve its functioning and address its challenges. All of this deepens trust and enables the group members to begin to support each other on deeper levels. This aids the group in dreaming together about what they really want - instead of merely putting out fires - so that they can work together toward actualizing their vision and goals. Topics may include:

Illuminating habitual roles each member plays which may be impeding full participation in the process;

Working on maladaptive patterns of communicating & relating, including a tendency to judge and blame instead of empathize and support;

Developing the capacity to relate more genuinely and deeply, and give honest and compassionate feedback;

Dreaming into the Future.
