As mentioned above, the activities included in Executive Retreats are as varied as the likes and interests of all the executives who attend. Here’s a sampling of retreats offered by companies across the nation:

Golf

Horse-back riding

Canoeing

Polo games

Hockey

Desert safari

Survival-style adventures

Business simulations

Country-inn

Spa treatments

Wilderness hikes

Surfing lessons

Whitewater rafting

Skydiving

Really, the list is endless. The main point is that you offer your executives a different, unique, relaxing, or stimulating setting and event to jump start or enhance your business discussions. You want to revive, energize, and refresh your executives while challenging them to think differently, think more clearly, learn more, and create more to better your business.

Most companies that host Executive Retreats help you prepare not only the activities but your meeting, as well, if you want. They can provide specific training materials if you want to focus your efforts on a certain topic, such as communication, team-building, or company growth. Some companies also offer surveys and focus groups that you conduct beforehand to prepare for the experience, and a debriefing process for afterward. It’s common, too, to find a company that will help you create action plans, develop strategies for implementation, and follow up with you after the sessions to see the progress you’ve made since the retreat.

Of course, if you want to have complete privacy and control over your retreat, these companies will honor your requests and let you go it alone. It seems that whatever you want, you’ll get, when it comes to Executive Retreats.
