Powerful, Interactive Group Experiences

Forget the Great Resignation, we’re living through the Great Disconnection. Simply put, many employees are experiencing a heightened sense of isolation and loneliness amidst the shift to remote and hybrid practices. Workers are feeling the loss of the office as a social hub. They need to reclaim meaningful connections. As we come to terms with the new world of work, we must radically rethink how we approach team offsites. We believe that today’s offsites can serve a different purpose than their pre-COVID predecessors which were largely focused on getting work done. Today’s offsites should strengthen bonds and reinforce culture. At Larson & Associates we draw on our decades of experience as facilitators to design offsites that allow teams and leaders to come together to connect, forge trust, get inspired, give back to the community, and experience collective joy.

Team Bonding: Depending on your needs, Larson & Associates can blend highly interactive team bonding experiences centered around outdoor adventure, wellness, improv, cooking, and volunteering.

Team Development: Your team’s needs matter to us. We use an innovative interview discovery process and an online Team Assessment to measure your team’s health and performance and design offsites based on this input. We offer a variety of team development on topics such as decision-making, problem-solving, collaboration, and communication.

Self Development Workshops: Team members can gain insight into aspects of their personality and work styles by taking industry leading personality assessments and explore their patterns and work styles with their team during the retreat. Effective teams are always based on individuals who learn to perform more effectively. Our DISC, Hogan and True Tilt workshops are innovative self-change modules that catalyze personal “inside out” change and can be designed into your team retreat.

Team Agreements & Team Charters: Larson & Associates can guide your team through a series of interactive activities to align team members on norms, values, and ways of working that will help the team excel. Teams tend to “own” what they create – and follow through on their new agreements.
