Business Leaders Are Retreating!
In the 1990’s Bill Gates famously coined his bi-annual retreats “think week” gifting himself time to read, ponder emerging technology and strategically plan. He did this to get ahead and stay informed as a market leader. Today's executive leaders have caught up with the wisdom of the “think week” trend and realized that the time in reflection can offer every non-Microsoft CEO and leader profound benefit as well.
EOS Worldwide, a business operating system used by thousands of CEO’s recommends regularly scheduled “clarity breaks” for leaders. A clarity break is an appointment, with yourself, no technology, just thinking. It is not uncommon these days to hear about how forward thinking CEO’s are putting time in their calendars to be alone to meditate, think and journal. The type of journal with no plan just time to let the thoughts flow. All activities known to activate the right side of the brain that stimulates creativity and intuitive problem solving.
The business world is on the cutting edge of delving into the power of free-thinking time in solitude and you can be too.
Time in the silence and solitude of a retreat creates space to seek clarity and alignment to find your calling or to check in to see if you are living for your higher purpose at all.
Awaken Your Soul Retreats – Investing in You So You Can Invest In Others
A retreat is like a quest. A time when you intentionally put your life on hold and put space between your current situation to allow time for relaxation and inner change to occur. It’s capturing the treadmill of thoughts constantly circling in your brain and letting fresh air into your mind.
There are physical benefits too. According to recent research a one weeklong retreat including fresh food, daily meditation, yoga and related activities can improve metabolism as well as provide relief from respiratory problems, anxiety, high blood pressure, arthritis, and several other long-term ailments.
Leaders go home with a restored sense of peace and clarity ready to infuse their teams with inspired energy that spurs corporate morale. Morale fused by a positively charged leader will take any organization to a new level of service and profitability. Looking to expand into new markets or grow profits in 2024, how can your company afford not to send you on a retreat?
