Use Experiential Learning to Transform Your Next Board Retreat
Monday, 28 April, 2025
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. Listen in on how to host an experiential board retreat . . .
