It's a wrap on our semi-annual Realize retreat! We (Kristine Kern, Shelly Setzer, and Mary Silva Doctor) come together twice yearly in NYC for some hard work and fun. Our agenda has settled in a standard strategic planning retreat plus caring and connection. We check in with one another on what's happening in our lives that's important to us and how we are balancing our life goals with our consulting and coaching practices. Then it's on to the business of Realize - which capabilities we need to strengthen, what trends we are seeing in the market and with our clients, and how these impact our vision and shape our specific plan for the rest of 2024. The fun part is always great meals, some exercise, shopping, and a show - this time, we were astounded by the excellent Eddie Redmayne in Cabaret! So, what topics did we discuss? Of course, we talked about AI - how our clients approach it and how we'll continue integrating it into our work. We're watching the recent talk about 'coordination tax' - the costs companies see from their work in complex organizations (June 16 WSJ article). Meetings are another perennial topic - and we were intrigued by Derek Thomson’s recent Atlantic article on meetings. As experts in teamwork, collaboration, and meetings are core to our approach with clients, we need to be in tune with how these need to evolve. It's great to leave this meeting energized, cohesive, and aligned to take on the rest of 2024! What do you do at your strategic retreats? We're always looking for ways to improve and value your feedback! Your suggestions can help us grow and evolve, so please don't hesitate to share.
