A New Tool: The Offsite
This week, a discovery:
Last month, a startup approached me for an offsite strategy session in Scottsdale, Arizona, aiming to enhance their remote team collaboration and realign their strategy.
Navigating strategy stuff is squarely in my wheelhouse, but for the team-building aspect, I wanted to bring in a master.
Enter Dr. Josh Elmore, a renowned social-organizational psychology PhD & professor from Columbia University, and an expert in offsite experiences for remote & hybrid teams.
The outcomes exceeded all expectations - this was one of the most incredible startup leadership conversations of my career. Full Stop.
I thought this would be good. But I truly didn't realized HOW good.
Here's why:
Golden Moment, Often Wasted: For remote teams, an offsite is a precious opportunity to collaborate on significant challenges and opportunities. But mess it up, and you've wasted huge time and resources.
The Dream: Imagine dedicating that valuable time to dive deep into the perfect keystone issues that will course-correct your organization's future and give you momentum for the rest of the year.
The magic formula?
We found keystone issues & solutions that unlock org growth thanks to my background as a veteran startup operator trained as a Big 5 management consultant
We had rich, positive, and memorable conversations that made huge impact thanks to Josh, our facilitation expert backed by years of research.
The result? Mind-blowing:
A winning strategy & execution roadmap, for an entire startup, supported by the entire team, in under 24-hours.
