"You’re a natural. I’ve seen a lot of people try, but this just flowed.
It was eye opening. It wasn’t packaged. It felt very comfortable.
It was very productive with our team especially. Thank you so much."
-Leslie Wright

Your organization deserves accolades for planning a staff retreat. Since your staff’s productivity and teamwork are key to your organization’s success, we applaud you for dedicating time and effort to this noble cause.

If you’ve attended retreats in the past where you hear the same colleagues speaking up while others sit quietly, you know what it feels like to be involved in an incredible waste of time. In order for the time together to be truly successful, you need to be able to hear from everyone in a way that is comfortable, safe, and productive.

It’s liberating to finally be given the opportunity to share your ideas with people in different areas of your work place and actually be heard.

When you invest in a CF staff retreat, you’ll work with expert facilitators, accomplished interpersonal and intercultural communicators who live and breathe methods of getting people to share ideas and solutions in a comfortable and positive atmosphere. We know how to engage people in the communication style that is best for them and we have fun doing it. We are able to open up lines of communication that you would never think were possible. This translates into higher productivity, clearer expectations, and greater satisfaction in the workplace.

All staff retreats are custom designed to meet your goals. We pride ourselves on our acute awareness of what is happening in the room, and check in with you throughout the retreat in order to take all unforeseen curveballs into consideration and make on the spot changes as needed.

Session lengths vary from one half day, a full day, or a multiple day event.
