PURPOSE

Consider a plane bound from Los Angeles to New York, just a few undetected degrees off course makes the final destination Miami instead of Manhattan. Our Executive Retreats are designed to “adjust course” at the highest organizational level where it is likely to have the most profound eventual effect on all employees. Each seminar underscores the importance of small actions and corrections in course to the future of an organization. Each of our presentations are designed with this same exponential impact in mind—identifying and implementing “tipping point” change in each leadership area explored.

A HISTORY OF SUCCESS

For more than 2 decades, executive teams from Fortune 500 companies, healthcare organizations, government agencies, educational institutions and non-profit groups have called on cutting edge presentations from REACH Employee Assistance, Inc. and Dyment & Associates. Dr. Bill Dyment and Dr. Marcus Dayhoff, principals speakers, have conducted more than 825 seminars collectively. This experience translates into innovative seminars packed with strategies and techniques that are practical, hard-hitting and provide immediate, measurable results.

Half Day Retreats

Our half-day seminars are conducted from 8:30 a.m.-12:00 noon. Participants typically start the day with a continental breakfast and end the morning with a full lunch.

This option is ideal for executives who would like to get away to an off-site hotel location but cannot take more than a morning away from the office. Other teams enjoy the half-day presentation option followed there own planning meeting or recreational activity.

Full Day Retreats

Our full day seminars are conducted from 8:30 a.m. –12:00 noon and resume again at 1:30 ending at 5 p.m.

Alternately, teams frequently elect to schedule two half-day seminars during their full-day retreat.

Overnight/Two Day Retreats

Executive teams interested in a two-day retreat have even more options. A morning seminar can be followed by team recreation time or a business meeting then by dinner out. The next morning a second seminar can be scheduled before ending the retreat with a formal lunch.
