Why Wilder / For executive assistants and chiefs of staff

You’ve been handed the offsite.
Hand it to us.

The retreat lands on top of your actual job, and leadership will notice every detail. Wilder plans and runs all of it with you, so you get your weeks back and the credit when it goes perfectly.

What assistants and chiefs of staff tell us

Three things you need from a retreat partner

We asked the executive assistants and chiefs of staff who plan with us what matters most. These came up every time.

Need 01 · Hours back

“This landed on top of my actual job. I need hours back.”

We take over the venue search, contracts, travel and agenda. You make the decisions. We do the work.

Need 02 · Nothing slips

“I can’t let a single detail slip in front of leadership.”

A Wilder retreat manager is on site from the first arrival to the last departure, solving problems before anyone notices them.

Client result · Laurel

“They made my job so much easier.”

Their 250-person retreat outgrew its hotel. We added a second one, and attendees never noticed.

Need 03 · One partner

“I need one partner, not ten vendors and a pile of apps.”

One planner, one contract and one retreat website for RSVPs, dietary needs and flights. One invoice at the end.

The experiences

Moments that will have leadership thanking you

Thrilling for some groups, easygoing for others, always at world-class hotels and resorts, so the whole team is in.

For the team that wants a story they’ll be telling for years.

Also on your list

A budget that holds up, and credit that lands with you

Every dollar accounted for

Itemized proposals and negotiated rates, so you can defend every line. Vistage and Freshpet each saved 15% on their retreat budgets.

Your name on the success

We plan in the background and you present the result. When leadership asks who made it happen, the answer is you.

How it works

You make the decisions. We do the work.

Book my discovery call
01

Discovery call

Book a time right after the form. Bring the dates, the group and what leadership wants out of it.

02

Options and a full budget

Destinations, agendas and an itemized budget you can take straight to leadership.

03

We run it onsite

A Wilder lead is there from arrival to departure, so you get to be part of the retreat, not its help desk.

04

You present the result

Leadership gets the retreat they wanted. You get the credit.

Questions assistants ask us

How much of my time will this take?

You make the decisions and we do the work. Expect a discovery call, a few check-ins to approve the venue, budget and agenda, and regular updates from us, so you’re never chasing anyone.

Do I keep the final say?

Yes. You approve the venue, the budget and the agenda. We bring you options and a recommendation, and nothing is booked without your sign-off.

Can you work within our budget?

Yes. Your proposal comes with an itemized budget and negotiated rates. Wilder budgets are transparent and reflect actual spend, so you can defend every line.

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.

Our dates are close. Can you still help?

Yes. Ask about Instant Retreats: pre-built itineraries at destinations we know well, with preferred rates, for teams on a tight calendar.

Hand us the retreat. Keep the credit.
