Executive Retreats: What Works and What Doesn't

Executive Retreats are the critical juncture where senior team members work out their issues, set strategy for the future and establish through action, the behaviors and values that drive the organizational culture. Facilitating executives however, can have its perils. Senior team members, by the nature of their roles, can be quite politically savvy, clever and demanding.

Come engage with Dr. Steve Phillips as he creates thought provoking and challenging dialogue about what works and does not work with executive level teams. In the session we will consider: What is most important to the participants? What makes for a successful retreat? What is a sure fire way kill a retreat? What we should, and should never do as professional facilitators.

Steve will not just offer us a lively discussion, but also will discuss his proven processes, tools, and techniques for executive retreats that guarantee results.

You won’t want to miss this one.
