Have you noticed that coming back into the office after the summer break has felt like a major shift in gear? More than ever, people value their family time and opportunities to travel during the hotter months, giving them a fresh impetus to get back into working life in September. And boy, has it been a busy month for most of us.
Now that we can finally plan ahead with confidence, business conferences and meetings are back on the agenda. Face-to-face events and networking are becoming the norm again, the diary is filling up fast and even business travel has become more of a viable option with restrictions easing around the world.
The world of Microsoft Teams, Zoom and work-from-home are still very much a part of the new fabric, but as we move forward it’s important to re-establish human connection and explore hybrid working styles, for our long-term success.
So, where is the best place to start with our journey to success?
Getting together in-person, in a neutral space, to work on your strategy, goals and business challenges, can be a truly transformational experience. It’s a chance to open up communication, lower boundaries and really find out where the ship is headed and importantly – who is on board.
Here are just a few of the benefits of stepping out of the every-day grind:
- Open and honest conversations: Put the focus on in-person communication in a neutral and transparent environment
- Out of the box: Participate in activities (which you’d never make happen in the office) to encourage high-level strategic thinking and encourage self-awareness
- Time out: Realign, reassess and re-evaluate personal and business growth goals for the future
- Personal growth: Provide space for individuals to assess their own personal performance and what’s driving them
- Reconnection: In the post-remote-working world, it’s time to find a new synergy between teams
Success and leadership:
When it comes to leadership teams – you may still be navigating choppy waters but you’re also thinking of what comes next. Plan a leadership escape to bring your team together and re-align your focus. Whether it’s walking in The Alps, overcoming stress in Portugal or contributing to a community in Ecuador, being in these kinds of environments teaches you to overcome obstacles and meet new challenges head on. It’s about embracing a growth mindset. Read more about these trips here.
How to curate your transformational experience:
At We Love Transformational Travel, our experts specialise in tailoring experiences for your leadership team or you as an individual, no matter the size, location or theme. One of the most powerful parts of this is that we ensure that the transformational learning lasts beyond the escapes, with participants taking away enriching and valuable insights, to put to use throughout work and life.
Based on your objectives and desired outcome from the escape, we can curate a unique itinerary of activities, accommodation options and extra experiences either on the ground in the UAE or a fresh location abroad.
