Nobody’s Talking About 2027 Offsite Budgets (Yet). But, YOU SHOULD if you want to save big! Here’s how... (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Right now, in the middle of September, almost nobody is thinking about budgets for their various 2027 offsites.Finance is closing out August, then finalizing Q3 plans. Your CEO is thinking about the next board meeting coming up in a week or two (maybe even this Friday, if you’re like me!). As a People Leader, you’re probably still recovering from whatever offsites you ran this summer, or bracing for whatever’s on the calendar for Q4. Perhaps you’re just getting your brain to work after summer PT
The 48-Hour Rule Nobody Follows After an Offsite (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I want to tell you about the moment that actually decides whether your offsite was worth the money. It’s not the keynote. It’s not the dinner everyone raves about on the flight home. It’s not even the strategy session where the leadership team finally agreed on the roadmap.It’s the Tuesday morning, ten days later, when someone asks “wait, did we decide that?” and three people give three different answers.That’s the moment. And most people planning offsites never see it coming, because they’ve sp
You Are More Likely To Be Fired Than Promoted For Rushing Your SKO Planning (or Planning Any Offsite For That Matter!) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If your Sales Kickoff is happening in January or February, the next 30 days are critical. I’m not trying to give you a false sense of urgency. Everyone assumes SKO planning starts “after summer is over” but then you have Q4 planning, holidays, and suddenly Q1 is about to begin and you don’t have your Sales Kickoff finalized. Yikes.By the time Q1 starts, your SKO should already be fully planned. December and early January are for finalizing details, not making decisions.</stro

Read excerpt
Right now, half the Sales/Revs Ops and People Leaders we speak to are deep in Sales Kickoff (SKO) planning. This is exactly where you should be in August if your kickoff hits in January or February. And if you’re NOT already starting to plan your Sales Kickoff (or GTM kickoffs, or Q1 offsites of any kind like an All-Hands Meeting), then you need to start planning ASAP!!!

Nobody Tells Your CEO What Their Job Is at the All-Hands (So Here's What You Should Say...) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You build the deck. You lock the agenda. You chase down numbers from finance and product so the updates are accurate. You even time the whole thing down to the minute.Then your CEO gets up, goes fifteen minutes over on a slide that was supposed to take three, dodges the one question everyone actually came to hear answered, and the room checks out before lunch.This isn’t a confidence problem or a communication problem. It’s a job description problem, as in…nobody ever tells your CEO, or the rest
