Quotes from the show
A great remote retreat creates experiences. Memories validate our existence and relationships. Through shared memories, teams can truly connect.
They take home these memories and they live on, surfacing as boosted morale and productivity for the company.
When you design a great remote team retreat, you need to plan in areas for growth. Go for the crazy stuff! Create experiences that push people through their comfort zone, into their growth zone.
Focus on the unbeaten path.
A remote team retreat is not an offsite. It is not a team gathering. It is not a business meeting. And it should not be packed with always-on programs and agendas.
A remote team retreat connects people through fun activities, nothing more. Leave your P/L reports at home.
