Create a Culture of Collaboration and Enthusiasm with Strategic Retreats
Strengths-based strategic leadership development workshops and retreats
As a leader, you know your mission isn't just to fix what's broken
It's to unleash the full capabilities of your people and achieve extraordinary results and impact
Within your organization lies the power to turn challenges into opportunities. Using modern strengths-based, appreciative strategies, you'll transform the way you plan, communicate, and lead as you look for the best in your people and processes. You'll experience employee engagement at a higher level than ever before while you co-create a vision of the future...and how to get there.
Imagine what could be possible when you release the untapped capacity in your organization!
Witness exponential culture change instead of incremental change as you increase collaboration, cohesion, and creativity in days, not months or years.
Accelerate what's
possible together
Our Appreciative Inquiry-based Strategic Leadership workshops and retreats bring out the best in your leaders and teams, providing opportunities to connect and collaborate as they explore new possibilities for the future.

OTHER BUSINESSES WHO'VE USED THE HUMAN Ai APPRECIATIVE INQUIRY APPROACH
I’m excited that in just 6 or so hours with Vicki, synchronization with the 60% of the new faces that weren’t with us from our first session happened. I think we’re going to get off to a great start.
What We Hear from Participants
I enjoyed the whole room coming together to work on something tangible. It’s on our walls and that’s really cool seeing something come out of it.
Now we have 50 united leaders in the Wing, moving forward with one purpose, and that is going to be a very powerful thing. That excites me about the future.
I really appreciate working with a lot of different people that I wouldn't normally get an opportunity to work with so closely.There is so much empowerment in knowing that we all have a similar vision, and I look forward to working towards a “yes” with many of you as long as that may be.
Try to adopt the things we ae learning here, both personally and professionally, because you CAN see the results. They work.
I've done many strategic plans over the years. This is the first time I'm actually excited to take it back to my unit and figure out how to make it happen!
If we dream big and work together, we can accomplish anything.
One of the first exercises we did I think is foundational - walking out of here focusing on solutions and not the problems. I don’t “think” we can do it. I KNOW we can do it.
I appreciated the 1:1 interviews, taking deliberate time out of this whole day to really focus on getting to know another person.
Thanks for "forcing" us to sit with people outside of our Squadron and functional area. It helped us continue building relationships outside of our silos of expertise.
It's important to reframe conversations into opportunities to overcome challenges
Most Strat Plans are just checking a box, narrow-minded. This process helped us think big. We were all uncomfortably wonderers and we came up with a grand idea we are going to go after together. It's going to be better for the entire installation.
I've had the pleasure of working with Vicki Terrill for over a decade, and without hesitation, I can say she is one of the most effective coaches I've worked with. I've seen firsthand how her approach, grounded in Appreciative Inquiry, leads to remarkable outcomes - improved team cohesion, more effective leadership, and a clear pathway to achieving goals.
Through her strategic planning and leadership development workshops, Vicki fosters an environment that brings out the best in teams and individuals, creating a space where everyone feels heard and valued. Her coaching results are powerful and lasting, making a real difference in the work environment. If you're looking to unlock your team's potential and elevate your leadership, Vicki is the person to guide you there.
John Ramstead, CEO of Beyond Influence, author of On Purpose, With Purpose
Vicki engages with groups of all sizes and asks meaningful questions that foster greater communication and collaboration. Her workshops are thought-provoking and lead to structured discussions around organizational objectives and strategies. Her personal anecdotes and analogies help relate management and leadership concepts to a broad audience.
Nolan Sosa, Director of Regional Outreach, Shannon Medical Center
Our team's work with Vicki evolved from a one-day workshop with our staff to one-on-one coaching to a retreat with our staff where we worked on the vision of where we want to be. Vicki is helping our business leadership to push beyond our comfort levels and dream the big dreams that we have only had in our hearts and can now visualize as truly being attainable. Our business would highly recommend her services if you are ready to take your team members and your business to the next level in what you want to achieve.
Meagan Hunnicutt, COO Shelburne Financial Services
Vicki provided an inspirational message of “finding your purpose” to roughly 80 health educators. Throughout her presentation, she was very engaging and connected well with the audience. Everyone appreciated the hands-on learning exercise and left the workshop extremely motivated! I highly recommend Vicki’s services and can say with full confidence that she will provide a high-energy, yet personable experience for any size of group.
