Clarify’s Post

We just wrapped up our second Clarify‎ offsite in Seattle, and it was a game-changer! 🙌 Here's what we learned about building a strong remote team: 🤝 In-person time is irreplaceable. Period.  🤯 Unstructured bonding > over-scheduled activities  🚀 Hackathons are magic for collaboration and shipping product  ⛰️ Nature + shared adventures = stronger team connections  We saw our team of 11 build and ship six customer projects in just one week post-offsite. That's the power of bringing people together.  Want the full details on how we structured our offsite for maximum impact (and how you can too)? Check out our latest blog post (link in comments). There’s even a Notion template you can steal to help you plan your next offsite. 👀

Trust falls? We don't know her.
