Building lasting connections is key for entrepreneurs looking to grow

their businesses and leadership skills.

that fosters these connections.

Steps to Build Lasting Connections

Select a retreat that emphasizes community connection and leadership growth.

Marsh Manor is a perfect example, offering a supportive environment to connect with like-minded leaders.

2. Engage in Structured Networking Activities

Participate in activities designed to facilitate meaningful interactions.

Group discussions, team-building exercises, and networking dinners are excellent for breaking the ice.

3. Share Your Story

Open up about your journey and experiences.

Sharing your story helps others understand you better and creates a deeper connection.

4. Be a Good Listener

Take the time to listen actively to others.

Showing genuine interest in their stories builds trust and strengthens connections.

5. Follow Up After the Retreat

Maintain the connections you've made by following up after the retreat.

Send a message or schedule a call to keep the relationship going.
