What should actually change after a business offsite? Allison Barber, Director of Marketing at RISE Commercial District, sits down with entrepreneur, coach, and facilitator Chris McAdoo to explore how stepping away from daily operations can help teams make clearer decisions and grow with purpose.
Chris shares the near-death experience that changed his relationship with work, then explains why effective offsites bring different departments together, ask better questions, and turn company values into everyday actions. Allison offers a look inside RISE’s own offsites, including how feedback from employees and customers revealed respect as a core part of the company’s culture.
They also discuss aligning incentives with intentions, identifying actions people can take the next day, and following through after the retreat ends. Chris closes with a challenge for ambitious leaders: move fast and build things, and consider the value you create for the people around you.
You’ll learn:
- Choose an offsite topic based on the decision or obstacle your business needs to address now.
- Bring people from different functions into the conversation to reveal duplicated work, gaps, and unintended consequences.
- Listen to employees and customers when identifying what your company values in practice.
- Connect stated values to specific behaviors, incentives, and everyday decisions.
- Leave with actions people can begin immediately and a plan to revisit progress.
- Reassess culture and commitments as the business grows; do not assume they will carry forward automatically.
