Invest in Connection.

In this period of upheaval and unpredictability, 65% of workers say they feel less connected to their coworkers. Employee disconnection is one of the main drivers of voluntary turnover (Harvard Business Review, 2022). Together we can craft a day of engagement to build connection and practice critical collaboration skills. Retreats can be offered annually, biannually, or quarterly.

Sara Hazel | CEO, Denver Public Schools Foundation

“Mary was an incredible facilitator for our group. After over a year of mostly remote work for our team, she guided us through activities and discussions that helped us to reconnect and build trust. Mary’s style is approachable and warm, she instantly made the team feel comfortable, which allowed space for growth and connection. She was organized, prepared, and the flow of the workshop was perfect for our team. She was able to customize it based on what I was seeking and the outcomes have been incredible. The team continues to talk about what a great retreat we had, and everyone is re-energized and ready for a great year ahead together.”
