Why is it important for your whole Board to attend your strategic planning day? Here's some feedback from a recent session I facilitated: 😃 What Trustees enjoyed: "Exploring kōrero in more depth, deepening understanding, good honest participation, the open discussion, working with Board members on goals and aspirations." 🤔 What they took away: "New focus for our Trust, better understanding and commitment to learn more, the ongoing passion for the work of the Trust, Hope! 😏 What they would change: "All trustees in the room, everyone attending! If you're on a Board that's looking to refresh your strategic plan, try and commit to being there. You will be missed 🙁 😮 And you will also miss out on some great kōrero- planning and discussing together, and soaking up the renewed commitment and energy that comes from creating a fresh direction! #strategicplanning #facilitation #wovencollaboration
