Working on important topics away from the daily grind

In teams and organizations, topics often arise that need a special space. Placing them in regular meetings or addressing them in the free 10 minutes before a workshop is not enough.

Enabling something new with offsites and retreats

Sometimes it is necessary to step out of the usual setting in order to give important topics the space and time they need. After all, it is not only what is on the agenda that is relevant, but also what happens in the moments in between.

Strategic Planning Offsite

What do people in leadership positions usually not have? Time and space to discuss the most important topics together.

  • What does our future corporate strategy look like?
  • What vision do we have for our company?
  • What product strategy are we pursuing?

Thinking these questions through to the end, answering them together and preparing them for the teams in an understandable way is an important part of the responsibility as a management team.

Coming together away from the daily business, reflecting, pausing and returning refreshed with conscious decisions.

Innovation Boost Offsite

Es gibt Situationen, da eröffnen sich Möglichkeiten für Neues. 

  • Eine neue Technologie gewinnt an Popularität, die enormen Einfluss auf unser Unternehmen hat, z.B. AI
  • Durch die Insolvenz eines Mitbewerbers sind enorme Wachstumspotentiale entstanden.
  • Eine neuer Wettbewerber drängt auf den Markt.
  • Oder generell die Frage: Welche Investitionen wollen wir für die Zukunft tätigen?

Von ersten Ideen zu einem Prototyp oder Experiment zu kommen, braucht einen Raum abseits des daily business, in dem Kreativität und echte Zusammenarbeit entstehen kann.

High Impact Team Retreat

There are many reasons for a team offsite:

  • The team has just come together and has been assigned a new project.
  • The team composition has changed significantly. Structural changes in the organization require changes in the team.
  • The team or teams need space to align their goals with the overarching strategy, e.g. through Objectives & Key Results (OKR).
  • The team members work remotely and need space and time to connect on site and work together on topics.

Providing the team with this space and time is the best team-building activity there is.

This is how I'll support you

I will design your offsite together with you and accompany you through these important days as a workshop facilitator.

On request, I can provide impulses and deep dives on topics such as self-organization, sustainable collaboration and leadership models, vision & purpose, objectives & key results (OKR).

I have wonderful people in my network who can complement your offsite with various topics and sessions, such as Scrum, non-violent communication, yoga, leadership and more.

Ok Sandy, why should we choose you?

My original motivation to accompany my clients at offsites comes from the fact that I was able to take part in offsites myself, which left an incredibly positive impression on me. I felt so connected to my colleagues, so inspired, we developed really cool things and we laughed a lot. After that, working together was completely different. I thought to myself: “I want as many people as possible to experience this too.”

If we work together will probably come down to whether you like me or not 😉 Let's meet for a virtual coffee and find out!

You want some facts right now? OK, here we go:

  • I have worked for 10 years in two startups in key account management and online marketing as a team lead and know how important and effective offsites can be
  • Since 2019, I have been able to accompany various teams and organizations on their transformation journey and have already been able to design several offsites/retreats
  • I am not dogmatic - if something is not right for you, I will not impose it on you. I also like to approach things with a healthy pragmatism.
  • I provide my services in German and English
  • Fun fact: I am a trained sauna aufguss master. If your location has a sauna, I can perform a few nice aufguss rituals for you😉

Sounds good? Still have questions? Let's talk!

Getting started is better than being perfect.
