Three things you need from a retreat
“I need my hybrid and remote teams to feel like a team.”
Retreats designed for connection: mixed groups, shared experiences and real downtime, so people who only know each other from video calls leave as a team.
“I need people connected to our mission, and to each other.”
Agendas built around the culture you’re building or rebuilding, including after a merger, with time for the conversations that never happen on Slack.
“A shift from ‘they’ to ‘we.’”
Two merged firms became one culture in under two months.

Set the goal
On the discovery call, we agree on the outcome the retreat has to move.
Baseline survey
A short survey before the retreat captures where your team starts.
Follow-up survey
The same questions after the retreat show what moved.
Results summary
A one-page summary you can put in front of leadership.
Why connection shows up on the bottom line
Engaged teams are more profitable, stay longer and show up more. Measured results are how you show leadership the link.
Higher profitability
in highly engaged business units, compared with the least engaged.
Less turnover
on highly engaged teams, at the top of Gallup’s range.
Less absenteeism
on highly engaged teams, compared with the least engaged.
Shared moments a team talks about for years
Thrilling for some groups, easygoing for others, always at world-class hotels and resorts, so the whole team is in.

Retention and engagement follow connection
Keep your best people
A retreat is one of the few moments a whole team feels invested in at once.
Re-engage your managers
Managers carry engagement for everyone else. We build in time for them to reset, connect with peers and leave with a plan.
Questions People leaders ask us
How do you measure the results?
We agree on the outcome on the discovery call, run a short survey before the retreat and the same questions after, then send you a one-page results summary for leadership.
Can you design a retreat for a team that just merged?
Yes. We build the agenda around the culture you’re bringing together. Mile Marker described the result as “a shift from ‘they’ to ‘we.’”
Will it work for people with different comfort levels?
Yes. Every experience comes in a range of comfort levels, from a sunrise balloon flight to a songwriting session, so the whole team is in.
What group sizes do you work with?
From 6 executives to 1,000+ employees. Recent retreats include 70 people in Marrakech, 94 in Boulder and 250 in Fort Lauderdale.
How much does a company retreat cost?
It depends on group size, destination and the number of nights. On the discovery call we’ll give you a realistic range, and your proposal comes with a full, itemized budget.
