Who am I outside of work?
I am a passionate backpacker (Asia, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, Europe), scuba diver and mountain hiker. What is the link between these activities and off-site strategic planning? In life as in business, THE destination is important, but it’s really how you prepare for it and who you go with that will make the difference facing the along the way challenges.
Through this journey and this team intimacy that you dare to offer yourself, you will experience the fun, the complicity and the contagious energy of your team.
How do we do this?
- By asking the true questions and daring to challenge yourself in a healthy way to get out of the box
- By exploring your internal strengths and weaknesses and the opportunities and threats in your market
- By co-creating goals and action plan that are meaningful to you
- By imagining the map that leads to your “business destination” and the baggage (business and technological tools and skills) to get there
But that’s not all, in parallel to these reflections, and according to your needs, we will facilitate activities to stimulate leadership, communication and collaboration.Here are some examples (non-exhaustive list).
- The leader that generates team buy-in organizational change
- The manager-coach posture, a lever to team development
- Coaching for managers vs. micro-management
- Time and priority management
- Engaging people in the Customer Experience
In addition, we will create special moments of emotion with your team by taking advantage of the site’s facilities: healthy competition through games (volleyball, shuffle board, mölkki (Finnish bowling on the beach!)
