Use Experiential Learning to Transform Your Next Board Retreat

Wait! A NEW type of board retreat!? One that's more engaging and more effective? No way. Check this out . . . ED's and board chairs know the routine all too well: gather the board in a nice setting, walk through the strategic plan, review the budget, and set some goals.

There may be catered lunches and polished presentations, but often, even the most well-run retreats feel like slightly upgraded board meetings. The question is, how do you create a retreat that is energizing, inspiring, and transformative? One that sticks.

The answer lies in a bold, refreshing approach: "experiential learning." Instead of passive listening and linear agendas, this method engages board members in real-world, mission-focused experiences that foster emotional connection, insight, and camaraderie. It's about stepping out of the boardroom and into the heart of the organization’s mission—literally.
