Retreat Facilitation

A successful partner retreat produces lasting, meaningful change.  Upstream Academy offers a unique approach to partner retreats to ensure that goals set become goals accomplished.

Working with firms across the US and Canada, our skilled facilitators understand the biggest challenges facing today’s firms. During a one or two day retreat we’ll help you build firm unity, get to the heart of difficult problems and implement processes to make a positive impact on the firm.

Our Approach

Through a combination of conference calls with firm leaders, surveys of participants and years of experience handling even the most highly charged topics, our skilled facilitators craft a customized agenda to address the issues most vital to your firm.
