Looking Ahead with Purpose
We’re almost a month into the new year, and there’s a strong sense of momentum here at Collective Growth. Each quarter, we set aside intentional time to clarify our goals, align on priorities, and define the actions that matter most. We’re fully immersed in our Q1 work and energized by what’s ahead.
If one of your goals this year is to strengthen leadership, alignment, or strategic focus, we would love to connect.
Client Spotlight: From One Retreat to Many
A leadership team initially engaged Collective Growth to facilitate a one-time strategic retreat focused on alignment, collaboration, and readiness for change. The experience proved so valuable that the organization invited Collective Growth back to support additional retreats and the next phase of strategic goal-setting.
The retreat helped leaders gain clarity around priorities, strengthen cross-functional trust, and establish a shared foundation for future decision-making and leadership behaviors. Leaders left with renewed direction and a clearer understanding of how their individual roles contribute to collective success.
The impact extended beyond the retreat itself, influencing how the team approached planning, communication, and decision-making in the months that followed.
Step Away from Working In the Business to Working On the Business
As teams grow and stakes get higher, it becomes harder to find space for the conversations that matter most. That’s where retreats come in—not as a pause, but as a purposeful reset. Many leaders reach out when they need space to step back, realign, and move forward with clarity. Collective Growth offers several types of retreats, each designed to meet your team where they are and help them move toward where they want to be.
Here are a few examples of the types of retreats that we offer:
• Strategic Direction
• Leadership Alignment
• Ways of Working
• Team Operating Effectiveness
• Change Readiness
If you’re ready to create space for clarity, alignment, and meaningful progress this year, we’d love to explore what that could look like together.
Inner Work Update
The Inner Work podcast took a brief pause over the holidays, and we’re excited to share that new episodes return in February. The upcoming season features thoughtful conversations with leaders and change-makers, including TD Smyers, Dave Munson, Kellie Richter, and several members of the Collective Growth team.
New episodes will release every two weeks, beginning February 10. We’re looking forward to sharing honest stories, practical insight, and meaningful reflections on leadership, growth, and the work beneath the work.
