Jennifer works with your organization to develop a customized retreat program within your budgetary scope. Retreats may run for for a half day to a 2 week period. Retreats are held in person, as well as virtually. Past retreat programs have focused on:
A typical retreat engagement process includes pre-retreat meetings, individual staff or team meetings with you to assess the needs for the retreat, and retreat facilitation. Post-retreat follow-up with team or 1-1 coaching is also an option as follow-up to support the transfer of the learning back to the work place. This helps to boost sustainability of the initiative.
Most retreats are led by Jennifer Britton who has led team development process for the last two decades. Potentials Realized has worked with teams on an annual basis, teams in transition and teams which are just forming, from a team size of 4 to over 200 staff. Past retreat clients have included mining teams, Toronto based hospital foundations, agencies of the United Nations, governmental teams and departments, and community groups.
Jennifer is a recognized national and international speaker on retreat, leadership and mentoring issues and has presented sessions on retreats, talent management and coaching to the Canadian Society for Training and Development, ASTD and the International Coach Federation.
