The Perfect Law Firm Retreat: Introduction

Over at LexThink, I offer creative law firm retreat design and facilitation.  It is something I really love to do, and it is tremendously rewarding to work with a firm's lawyers as they collaborate and develop amazing ideas -- along with a plan to implement those ideas -- that will make their business better.
 
However, not every firm can afford to hire someone to design and facilitate their retreat or practice group meeting.  Starting this week, I'm going to be posting some of my thoughts on building the "Perfect Law Firm Retreat."  I'll include ideas, sample agendas and descriptions of exercises I've used to get people working (and thinking) together. 

I'll also include fun/crazy ideas for holding an "on-site" retreat (or even eliminating retreats all together) that will he help firms get most of the benefits of holding an off-site retreat without the costs.

I'd love your input, via comment, email or twitter (@mhomann).  Thanks!
