Offsite Meeting Wisdom – or "What are you sinking about?"

December 12, 2008 By Marc Leave a Comment

When you take your management team to an offsite meeting, here are a few tips to avoid coming home wondering why you took this time away from the office:

1. Do not bring more than 2 bottles of wine per person per day. I would say that 1.5 bottles is just enough lubrication. Except for the next morning headache.

2. Food – don’t let your bacon cook unsupervised. Unsupewrvised bacon eventually turns black and powdery. Not good.

3. Don’t do hotels. Cottages are best. Especially large lake side cottages with large bay windows on a large lake with large snowflakes and large bedrooms. Wi-fi must be available everywhere.

Over the past 2 days, we accomplished so much that we’re seriously pondering a permanent move. We talked shop – lots of it. We also planned loads of great stuff for our beloved clients. We actually know exactly what we’re going to do with our money.

We couldn’t have been this productive if it wasn’t for someone’s delicious meals, attention to every detail, and absolutely perfect preparation. From the melt in your mouth osso bucco to the best strawberry pies ever – ever. Marie, thank you Soooooo much, we had a great time at your gorgeous country home, it couldn’t possibly have been better. You’re awesome!
