RETREATS

“I believe that you have a powerful approach and a true commitment to results that will continue to bring you success.”
– Chell Smith, Chief Executive Officer, Americas, Capgemini

Taking corporate leaders and individuals on one of the most important journeys of their lives

Retreats are meant to take people away from the distractions and obligations of their everyday lives and jobs, to provide a haven conducive to inspiration and introspection, and to give them what they need to recharge, refocus and redirect themselves.

While many see retreats as an end, at J.W. Webb we see them as the beginning. And with Mark Womack as our retreat leader, the beginning is a truly significant turning point.

Driven to give people what they came for

Whether it’s a two-day retreat or a Monday-to-Friday seclusion, Mark Womack never slows down.

Whether he’s conducting a segment according to careful planning or executing a spontaneous about-face to capture a critical moment in the retreat’s progress, he never misses an opportunity to advance toward the overarching goal of the retreat.

Our retreats have a purposeful rhythm. They swing between intense introspection and shared enjoyment, between relentless exploration and relaxed interaction, between deeper emotional content and lighter moments. Knowing how much of one is required to balance the other is one of our special skills.

We draw upon a variety of techniques to reach people emotionally, as well as rationally. He may include multimedia theatrics, guest presenters, breakout sessions and more to achieve the results we’re looking for.

We focus every minute of the retreat on the reason people are there. And we give them what they came for.

Getting people on course

Those who come in search of a vision for their company, leave with that. They take, too, a framework to follow for long-term success and just as importantly, the courage to continue the course. Those who come seeking insights to living more satisfying lives, leave not just with new awareness, but also with confidence – the strength and purpose to keep going.

“Mark’s ability to truly make a difference in people – professionally and personally – is unique and powerful.”
– Mike Fraser, Vice President, National Accounts and International Sales
