Revitalize Your Team Through Off-Site Retreats
Global Bridges Retreats offer intense experiential learning, revitalizing and aligning teams to surpass organizational goals while promoting healthy habits and professional interaction preferences.
Our Approach to Team Development
Using unique programs like the Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team based on Patrick Lencioni’s best-selling book, the Five Dysfunctions of a Team, or the DiSC for the Workplace Suite of Team development tools, we find ways to raise a team’s awareness and effectiveness in a short period of time. These retreats can last from one full day to three days in length and are each custom-created to meet the precise needs of the organization. Every minute is utilized to not only create greater team alignment and connection but to increase team awareness, communication and conflict management.
What are Team Development Retreats?
1-3 day off-site experiential learning workshops designed to explore and expand your team’s capacity to connect and align in order to surpass your organizational goals.
Our goal is to breathe new life into teams that are near burnout and help them develop healthy habits that support growth.
How Do Team Development Retreats Work?
Clients report that our coaching with them has enabled them to sift through the clutter and noise to find the anchor at the core of who they are. With this anchor set and clarified, they are able to stop and focus inwardly, assess where they really are and make decisions with intentionality, from a centered place without fear and anxiety. This is what they identify in our sessions that they need in order to be free of their self-limiting beliefs and take their leadership skills to the next level. We hold a non-judgmental space of encouragement, innovation and possibility for them as they explore their options and then commit to actions. We act as an accountability partner, so they know their courage to take action will not only be recognized but will be celebrated.
Many clients struggle with a sense of overwhelm and fear of impending burnout. We ask them questions to remember what brought them to this job originally. They often remind themselves of the purpose, their why for doing the job. Then we explore ways to enhance their joy and the positive aspects of their employee experience. This exploration coaching process has led to greater employee engagement and more of an effort towards work/life balance so they can increase performance.
