This executive retreat enables organizational leaders and managers to openly, honestly dialogue with their team members and colleagues on the key issues relevant to their organization’s success. Even in these challenging times an organization’s senior leadership team, under the skilled and insightful guidance of a quality coach and facilitator, can plot a prosperous course for sales and profit achievement.

This three day retreat will empower you to formulate and create business initiatives in the essential areas of Finance, Operations, Marketing/Merchandising, and Human Resource Development.
