Duration:
-> 3-4 days alone or with 1-2 others max who are not from my biz
Preparation:
-> Develop a list of high impact questions I need to consider
These will vary a lot.
Some will be very tactical (eg. Do I need a new exec for X role) to philosophical (eg. What do I do with next 20 years of my life now that I’m no longer a CEO?)
Recently, for me, it’s been the latter.
-> Build a reading list:
Usually 1-2 books on covering a question from previous bullet and some white papers, articles, etc.
-> Agenda:.
Very high level: 1) Couple hours of exercise/hiking/walking,
2.) Couple hours of focused reading
3) An hour or so to summarize thoughts 4) Quarterly habits/systems: Start/Stop
5.) Accomplishments toward any targets set previously
Outcome: One page plan covering:
- Fitness / Health
- Professional
- Family / Personal
- Spiritual
Modifications to systems, habits and targets.
Personal retreats don’t need to be expensive or complicated. They can serve as a system to keep yourself contemplating your life and growing.
