Many of you are folks I’ve had the pleasure of getting to collaborate with, and you’ve experienced the magic sparked by visuals directly.

Even if you get it, sometimes you need to persuade someone else why it’s an excellent idea to have a visual partner in the room. This is what I hear from clients time and again.

Is your team is planning an off-site retreat soon? If you are, I cannot recommend one thing to your agenda design team enough. If you want to…Make the most of the fact your team traveled to (most likely) an intentional location, help shift mindsets from “me” to “we”, build trust, leverage your time together in person…

Build in unstructured time for your group to get to know each other.

Having a clear purpose in a meeting is something you’ve heard from me before – whether it’s a 15-minute check in or a 2-day off-site, when the organizers and the participants are extremely clear on the purpose of why they’re being asked to be there, engagement and the ability to measure if the outcomes were successful follow.
