Retreat Facilitation

Retreat and Transformational Facilitation

The right conversations—led the right way—can create lasting change. Poynter’s expert facilitation turns meetings into meaningful moments of agreement, creativity and forward motion. From high-stakes strategy sessions to culture-building retreats, we create intentional space for teams to address what matters most and leave with clarity, connection and a plan.

Our facilitators are seasoned communicators and executives who understand the realities of leading through change. We handle the planning, structure and communication so you can focus on participating, not managing. 

Whether finding common ground for your leadership team, resetting organization priorities, hosting a retreat, creating new processes and standards, or transforming organizational culture, our facilitation ensures participants leave with both renewed energy and concrete next steps.

What we offer:

• Strategic planning retreats that clarify mission, goals and long-term direction
• Leadership alignment sessions to improve collaboration and decision-making
• Editorial standards development to codify principles, practices and ethical guidelines
• Organizational transformation workshops focused on trust, values, culture and shared purpose
• Team-building sessions that strengthen communication and relationships
• Editorial off-sites to reset priorities, unlock creative thinking, solve persistent challenges and sharpen focus
• Workflow redesign initiatives to improve quality and team cohesion
• Support for event coordination and communication support, before, during, and after
• Facilitators who ensure every voice is heard and every session delivers on goals and offers clear next steps
• Opportunity to host off-sites, retreats and events at Poynter’s beautiful retreat center

Let’s make your next meeting matter.
