Last week, the Brink team ventured to Fforest Farm in West Wales for our annual retreat. Our goals were to:
⭐️ Produce impactful in-person work and delve deeper into Brink's mission
⭐️ Forge strong connections among fellow Brinksters
⭐️ Create 'space between the logs' to be fully present with one another
To achieve this, you'll need the winning recipe:
Unique location 🏕️ Choose a place different from the everyday, ideally close to nature, so your team can unplug from all the screens
Well-designed itinerary 🗓️ Ensure a perfect balance of full team workshops, solo working time, breaks, and fun activities (always include a 30-minute buffer after every team session!)
Share the load 🤝 Nominate team members to lead different parts of the itinerary throughout the week, such as designing sessions, running a quiz night, or creating the party theme. You don't need to do it all yourself
Follow the vibe 💃🏻 Be ready to adjust timings at the last minute to sustain everyone's energy. There's no point in making everyone eat dinner at 6 pm when they're still full from lunch…
If you need any more tips on designing the ultimate team offsite, then drop me a message 🤗
