founding

John, I’m glad you too the time to share this and describe what an effective “off-site” looks a feels like. It sounds like an amazing process for the company to rule things in by clarifying and ruling things out. What I call the, “foundation of relatedness” and you describe this way:

“The words (the named concepts) hold a lot of context. “Magic”, “playing field”, and “purpose”, the words found on retreat in the bush, all have a meaning now.”

Is so powerful because that shared understanding and common language serves as an energetic rudder and form of trust for conversations going forward.

They were lucky to have you be an integral part of their success.

Last - I appreciate the spotlight this month and it’s my hope that Peter, Linda, Amy, Easy, and Nofemela touch some hearts of people who aren’t aware of the story.
