LIMITED SLOTS AVAILABLE! Check dates for the next Around the Table Retreat

YOU THINK YOU'RE NAILING THIS LEADERSHIP THING...

You’re rallying the team

You’re meeting…and maybe even exceeding…goals

Everyone’s patting you on the back

You’re hustling

You feel pretty good about managing it all

But how do you know how it’s really going? How are other’s experiencing you when you’re at the helm?

HAPPY, PRODUCTIVE, AND WINNING!

You have great intentions. You want to have a positive workplace. A place everyone has a voice, everyone is enthusiastic, and everyone thrives! Whether you believe you have that or not, the truth is, it takes effort.

The table is your opportunity! Are you making the most of it? Or is your opportunity to shine passing you by? You’re around a lot of different types of tables all the time.

  • Conference Tables
  • Board Room Tables
  • Meeting Tables
  • Interview Tables
  • Lunch and Dinner Tables
  • Desk-type Tables
  • And many other spaces where there might as well be a table!

Great things transpire at the table. But it can also be a place for contention, frustration, disappointment, far too often are a complete waste of time. You wanna make sure you’re getting it right – and you’re the one on the hook!

The Table Matters

There are many elements to making the most of your moments around the table but it takes work and effort. Have you been paying attention to what’s happening at the table? Does the table have:

  • The right people
  • The right space
  • Good organization of all the details
  • Meaningful content and healthy conversations
  • Clear intentions and outcomes
  • Strong facilitation and process management

 

Are you maximizing the possibilities of the table? Do you have an opportunity for better conversations, strengthening relationships, or improving productivity? Have you asked your guests what they think of their time at the table?

TABLE MANNERS

 

People are quick to criticize what happens at the table. It’s too long, too short, not enough conversation, too expensive, too hot, nothing was accomplished….. Sound familiar? It’s hard to please everyone…but that’s actually not the point. What people want is for you to LEAD! Take control of what happens at the table. This means:

Setting things up for success

Being intentional about the purpose of the time at the table

Checking in for feedback

Establishing rules, etiquette, and boundaries for how people behave (ehem…basket for the cell phones please!)

Managing and leveraging technology like a boss (for the remote participants)

Mastering the conversation and flow

Thinking of the little details that can make a big difference

Reinforcing the culture and esprit de corp that you expect to see

Experience is the Key

If you didn’t notice, times have changed a little. People are looking for a whole lot more than a cubicle and a stapler that works. Boards and executive teams are pretty demanding and expect immediate information and results that beat expectations. It’s time to up the ante a bit and calm. everyone. down. You know what is the great neutralizer? An experience. Yep. Say it like it looks with the bolded italics. Maybe even throw a little southern accent in there so you really get the point.

It is your job to create an experience that transcends people’s expectations so we can all get on the same darn page. The table is more than just a table people.

Alright, we need to calm down. But we’re a little passionate….if you can’t tell!

There is a secret sauce to the table that will change. your. world. And we’re going to share it with you.

What Happens at the Table

Let’s face it. You’re busy. Too busy to put much more effort into any. single. thing. But if there was one thing that could shift everything…for the better… would you be willing to find the time?

So far, this is sounding like a lot of work, but if you’re really tuning in – you can clearly see how much is really happening around the table. It’s pretty important stuff and plays a role in what happens well beyond the table. Stepping into those moments around the table and leaning into the possibilities can have extremely positive benefits in core areas that support healthy, happy, and highly productive workplaces such as:

null
Relationships, connections, camaraderie
null
Communication, awareness, understanding
null
Ideas, problem solving, solutions
null
Agreements, expectations, plans
null
Decisions, actions, results
null
Collaboration, support, an engaged and thriving culture

Beyond the Table

The benefits reach far beyond what happens at the table.

  • You’ll start to see the culture shift and experience a more energized and engaged work environment.
  • You’ll really know that you’re nailing it by the changes that start to happen.
  • You’ll likely get some high fives and some raised eyebrows.
  • Won’t it be great when they start asking what you’re doing that’s making a difference?
  • People will sit a bit straighter in their chairs, they’ll cut the crapola and get into gear.
  • You will have to intervene less in other people’s problems cuz they’ll start handling it themselves.
  • You won’t have as many random, unplanned, and frankly, annoying one-off conversations.
  • You’ll stop worrying about what you forgot to tell someone or the meeting after the meeting you never scheduled.
  • You might even waste less time around the table….and spend more quality time at the tables you enjoy the most (the ones with the food…and loved ones!).

 

Like we said, there’s a lot of good things that happen at the table. But in this case, what happens at the table does NOT sat AT the table!

WHAT TO EXPECT

Well…take notice that we’re calling this event a “retreat.” For those of you smart cookies who keyed into that you’ll be expecting more than a corporate style work session….and you’d be correct!! We’ve done our job in creating a special and unique experience that you will enjoy and savor for the rest of your life. Alright…maybe too far. But pretty close, actually. There will be:

Food, Music, Tons of interaction, and FUN
Deep thinking, Practice, and Reality Cecks
An Around the Table Planning Toolkit to make your life easier when you leave our fun environment and go back to reality
Camaraderie with other awesome and amazing leaders
Happy hour (Yes, you read that right. The end time is conveniently at the beginning of happy hour and we wouldn’t want you to miss out on that!)
Did we mention food?
Dancing on the table (okay, that one really is a joke)

In all seriousness, you’re going to have a fun time figuring out how to be a rockstar around all your tables. And we’re here to help you for a full day.

Yep. A full day. Cuz that’s what it’s gonna take to make it easier on yourself. Give us one day, we’ll give you everything you need to make sure you never leave any opportunities on the table again (now we’re getting punchy). You will be so glad you came. We’re not just learning together, you’re actually creating your own strategy and plan for your tables and all you need to do is put it into action!
