Whether you\u2019re just beginning to explore them or you\u2019re looking for new ideas for your next one, this episode is for you. I\u2019m diving into a special, behind-the-scenes look at our annual team retreat.&amp;nbsp; I\u2019m discussing the benefits of retreats and why I think they are 100% worth the investment. Plus, the logistics and considerations leaders need to keep in mind when planning them. I\u2019m also sharing the lessons I\u2019ve learned from this retreat and from past years like taking pressure off the team, ensuring we allot enough time for activities, and not having a jam-packed itinerary.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Read the podcast transcript here. &amp;nbsp; Episode Summary In this episode, you\u2019ll get a behind-the-scenes look at our annual team retreat, including:&amp;nbsp;   The benefits of an in-person team retreat (1:30)   Travel logistics to consider (4:45)   Why I don\u2019t believe in a jam-packed itinerary (6:40)   Taking pressure off of the team (9:20)   Finding a balance in the types of retreat sessions (13:50)   Considerations for next year\u2019s retreat (19:00)   &amp;nbsp; Teasers \u201cWe're just trying new things every year and learning what works and what doesn't work, then revising for the next year.\u201d \u201cWe tried to have a mix of training sessions where we're introducing new ideas or concepts to the team and they're learning something as well as 100 Degrees sessions where we were really informing the team and gathering feedback around the company.\u201d \u201cI cannot emphasize enough what a great investment a team retreat is.
