FACILITATED RETREAT

Neville specialises in running strategic retreats. He has over 20 years experience as a strategic and business consultant, he is an international author on strategic planning, and he is a Registered Psychologist. This unique experience means that Neville will ensure success with both the content and the process at your next strategic retreat.

Having Neville as your facilitator means that you will (a) focus on the real issues and key opportunities (b) have access to the best frameworks, templates, models and decision making tools (c) make decisions that will be translated into practical actions (d) build the commitment of the group and foster a steely determination to achieve all the identified outcomes.

DO-IT-YOURSELF RETREAT

If you choose to do your own retreat, then Neville has packaged a range of resource kits that will help you to run a truly professional event, and achieve exceptional outcomes. You will find free articles and short kits to get you started, and full resource kits to guide you through every step of the process.

The full kits provide you with comprehensive workbooks with models, methodologies, tools, techniques, templates and scripts to follow. Also included are power-point presentations, pre-reading packs, workbooks to guide your preparation, a 40 minute video that takes you through the process, a copy of Neville's book and recording formats.
