S3 Ep7: A Retreat Isn’t Success Until Hard Conversations Continue On Monday

from Five with Fry · host Dr. Jen Fry

A retreat can give people enough space to finally say the thing out loud. That matters. But naming the conflict is not the same as resolving it.In this episode, Jen talks about what happens when teams come back from a retreat with good conversations, more connection, maybe even more honesty, but no real plan for what changes next.
