Executive Team Retreats
The most successful companies I work with know that increased productivity, engagement and fulfillment start with helping their people understand themselves and how their unique strengths and level of wellness in key areas impacts their own performance and that of the broader organization.
​
Longview Vitality retreats bring teams together to grow and create stronger connections and trust through holistic experiences focused on Career, Physical, Mental & Emotional, and Spiritual Health.
​
Teams come away with a toolkit designed to help them leverage best practices in self development, keep their edge and maintain strong relationships both internally and externally.
Customized to You
Based on our initial conversations and organizational goals and objectives, we create a customized retreat experience to help the people who will take your company to the next level get aligned, connect to a shared purpose and supercharge their energy.
The Experts
I partner with experts who are on the cutting edge of their respective fields with innovative approaches in areas like mental & physical health & fitness, nutrition, and personal development to help teams bring their best selves to work and life.
Focused team development
Based on outcomes from the initial conversations and the objectives of the leader and organization, we create customized leadership retreats to help align teams and take them to the next level.
​
We start building trust by spending time together and getting to know each other personally. The idea is to keep fostering the team and how we interact with each other so we can support each other, solve problems together, create better ideas together, and become an even stronger unstoppable force in the market together.
​
From there, we can customize team development activities to fit your needs. Areas of focus include:
-
Redefining mission and purpose
-
Team norms and behaviors for success
-
Hopes, expectations, asks, commitments
-
Strategic plan
-
Team goals, priorities, next steps
-
Creating stakeholder plans
-
Bringing your best self to the team
Current State Assessment
We start with confidential 1-on-1 conversations where each team member has the opportunity to share their thoughts on what’s working well and opportunities for improvement. From there, I provide the leader with a thematic summary that will inform the creation of retreat activities.
​
Common opportunities for improvement include:
​
-
Decreased communication
-
Loss of connection and trust
-
Lack of established team norms and behavior
-
Undefined strategic plan, team goals and priorities
-
Individual performance and accountability
Ongoing communications guidance:
​
Since communication is so important in building trust, I help the leader craft talking points and clear messaging throughout the process to ensure the team is engaged, aligned and committed to a successful outcome.
