“Everyone gets excited about startups or very large companies, and then there’s us — second-stage companies. In second stage, you’re not struggling to stay alive, but rather to grow and gain visibility. It’s a completely different phase of your business, and it can get lonely. One of the great things about retreats at the Edward Lowe Foundation is being able to spend time with leaders of other second-stage companies. You hear their struggles — not only in business but also on the home front — and know that you’re not alone.”

“One thing I’ve altered is the frequency and format of our meetings. Instead of having daily meetings with the entire staff, we now hold weekly meetings, which my production manager leads instead of me. I encourage employees to engage with each other when an issue crops up instead of tabling it for a group discussion. In addition, I’m trying to ask more questions rather than give answers. When it comes to my staff, I need to be more of a seeker of information and less of a dominant ruler. The retreat helped me temper that behavior.”
— Anita Mitzel, president of GraphiColor Exhibits in Livonia, Michigan[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Section” tab_id=”1605534987864-8b9581cf-c2a3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1605535072264{padding-right: 15% !important;padding-left: 15% !important;}”]
“Another important outcome, the retreat curriculum helped us nail down an employee performance management system. It gives us a whole new way to engage our employees, integrating our cores values with both individual and corporate goals.”

These programs challenge conventional thinking about how to grow an organization. Our curriculum is geared to push participants out of their comfort zone and get them to think differently. Each course builds upon the previous one and revolves around inflection points: how your organization is changing, how your team is changing and how your role as a leader is evolving.
Participants are not told what to do. Instead, we equip them with new information, tools and techniques that help them become more effective leaders — and learn how to create stronger, more profitable companies.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1605287340691{border-left-width: 1px !important;border-left-color: #dd9933 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;}”][vc_column_text][rev_slider alias=”brv-map-1″][/rev_slider][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]
