Book Reviews of Retreats That Work: Everything You Need to Know About Planning and Leading Great Offsites (Pfeiffer Essential Resources for Training and HR Professionals)
Book Review: Absolutely a terrific resource for retreats!
Summary: 5 Stars
What? there are no more than five stars available to rate this book? Five simply does not do it.
Over the years I have run retreats, attended retreats, planned retreats, critiqued retreats. Retreats for five participants and for several hundred. Just last week I finished the first retreat -- a strategic planning treat for a small charitable organization -- in which I relied almost exclusively on concepts, exercises and resources found in this marvelous book. Not only was this retreat extremely successful, it changed the minds of literally ALL the participants about the value and the FUN that can come from strategic planning. "Retreats that Work" helped me create a bunch of strategic planning converts! Amazing!
The exercises are engaging, well targeted, and very user friendly. The coaching and advice for facilitators is accessible and helpful to both novice and seasoned retreat planners. Materials on the CD are a dream... so easy to pick up and adapt to your own group's needs. Imaginative, creative, and just plain fun!
Within a week, I have already gotten two more consulting jobs as a direct result of the success of my last 'Retreats that Work' event. Definitely a winner.
