Making change stick: Post-retreat momentum and accountability
Making change stick: Post-retreat momentum and accountability
About this episode:
Your team meets for your annual offsite… but what happens after the retreat?
Is there new energy, momentum, and a lasting impact on your organization… or… nothing? Zero change.
The goal of a corporate retreat is not the retreat – it’s to move the needle: build alignment, a stronger team dynamic, and lasting change. Spend an hour with us to learn how to activate this change when your team returns to the office:
• What seeds have to be planted before the retreat?
• The role of the CEO at the retreat
• Different takes on the retreat agenda
• Techniques for building accountability
• Reinforcing the learning and change

• 51:46 How can we get everyone on the team to understand and sync up with the organizational strategy?
• 58:07 True or False: It would seem that the healthy the work culture, the better the retreats will go.
