Discover how one entrepreneur ensures that his annual off-site planning and training meeting is successful for his business and his team

Aaron Christy is the founder and CEO of the Indianapolis based roofing company Indy Roof and Restoration.

For many people the prospect of being ‘invited’ by their manager to attend an off-site meeting is less than appealing. But Aaron Christy has a team who look forward to their annual off-site meeting.

In this episode of the Abeceder podcast The Independent Minds Aaron explains to host Michael Millward the format that he uses to create a not-to-be-missed meeting.

During their conversation Michael and Aaron discuss:

• The importance of planning
• Balancing different types of activities
• Fellowship and community building
• Answering the ‘what’s in it for me’ question
• Building connections between the organisation’s objectives and the individual’s lifestyle aspirations and career ambitions
• Impact on individual performance over the year
