Organizing an effective retreat experience is harder than you think.

Get back more of your time back - let the retreat experts at Unicorn Labs help.

Booking a venue with food and bringing people together isn't team building.

We've seen many teams make this mistake. Groups that believe that if we just got people together and had some fun activities, that would be enough. This often falls short of the goals of relationship building and teamwork.
Food, drinks and social time are essential but don't mistake that for team building.
Most retreat companies just book the venue, food and travel for you, but they forget the necessary transformational team-building experiences.
Building strong relationships takes intentionality and design on the facilitator's part.

Teamwork is not learned through hours of presentations.

Some teams jam-pack their retreats with departmental presentations, hour after hour, hoping to create cross-collaboration. You must empower your team through experiential learning.
Poorly designed learning workshops are not engaging and don't inspire the team.
Wasting your precious team retreat time on boring presentations.

Teams leave a Unicorn Labs retreat wired for success.

Our unique and proven retreat experiences will drive recognizable growth in the key pillars for high-performing team success.

Clear Vision & Strong Purpose

The team understands their purpose in achieving the company vision, both at the team and individual levels.

Build trust, build relationships

The team is trusting, has open communication, and a willingness to embrace conflict. Team retreats can establish a tremendous initial foundation for high-quality interactions away from the usual high-pressure work environments.

Culture of Innovation

The team operates in a culture where risks and innovations are celebrated. We help you uncover what this looks like for your unique organization.

Vision & Values Program

The elements of collective ambition can be thought of in the form of a circle. Purpose lies at the center, the driving force behind what path your company carves for itself. Just beyond lies vision, brand promise, strategic and operational milestones as they map your progress towards your greater mission and purpose. Finally, leadership behaviours lie in the outermost ring as they are the wheels that drive progress.

Let Unicorn Labs take your team away from the daily grind and help identify areas of misalignment and create strategies to address these issues. These elements help leaders foster energy and inspiration within their team creating a sense of connection and commitment among the entire team. In the end, collective ambition isn’t just about crafting an inspiring story, It’s about building company engagement towards greater purpose.

Overcome Team Dysfunctions Program

In teamwork, things you don’t talk about tend to matter the most. Years of observing, leading and consulting small teams made us realize that it’s not the lack of knowledge that makes effective teamwork so hard. The obviousness of forming groups and acting as one sometimes makes it difficult to spot the real challenges of building, maintaining and developing great teams by asking the hard questions at the right times.

In one transformational team retreat weekend, we’ll guide you in developing a strategic framework that helps team members to kick off projects and align on common vision and values. Based on our experience with startups and creative groups, it is made to smoothly start collective projects, let people learn about each other and accumulate enough momentum to get going.

How it works

The Unicorn Labs 3-Step Retreat Process

Step 1

Retreat Planning Consultation

During our Retreat Planning Consultation, we gain an understanding of everything you're looking for and help you sort out things you may not have even thought of.

Most importantly, we define the goals and needs of the team retreat by outlining the Team Bonding, Team Building and Team Strategy Ratio.

Team Bonding is the social fun, food, drinks and games that help cultivate relationships and bonds.
Most retreat companies just book the venue, food and travel for you, but they forget the necessary transformational team-building experiences.
Team Strategy is the alignment of goals, strategy and growth.

The event details are as follows:

Event Type
Dates
Destinations
Venue
# of People
Budget
Step 2

Design Process & Proposal

Our team will begin designing your transformational team-building retreat. We will come to you with package options that fit within your budget needs - or we'll make alternative recommendations if necessary.

We will create a proposal you can give to your executives to showcase the opportunity—the venue options, including programming and team-building workshops.

Upon approval of the proposal, we'll need to settle the first deposit to secure the commitment.

“We don't want this to be overly workshops - but fun and engaging. Do we have a choice in the programming?”

We love to start with what you already have and help you build from there. While we offer full-service Retreats, we also come in to facilitate and run team-building training.

Step 3

End-to-End Planning, Negotiating & Organizing

You'll be assigned an account manager who will be your go to person for all things you need related to your retreat.

We will begin to book all the necessary venues, accommodations, and food. Despite an agreed upon budget, we will continue to negotiate and find deals where we can save you money.

All money saved off of the original budget is given back to you.

We'll have easy to use tools for you to oversee budget, manage RSVPs, and showcase the retreat and get folks excited!

❓ “Do you also help book travel?"

If it's large group travel we have partners that we work with closely to make it all easy, however if its a few employees flying in, it is often easiest for each to book their own.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the benefit of having someone else facilitate our retreat content?

When you’re trying to plan the show, run the show, and deliver the messaging, you don’t have time to just be part of the team and actively participate. When you bring us in to do the heavy lifting, you get to enjoy your time with your team and let us worry about the details!

What if we have an administrative issue during our retreat?

This is why we’re here! We don’t just bring transformational learning, we are also on site to handle any challenges that arise with booking, meals, activities, etc. so you can just sit back and enjoy alongside your team.

What if we have changes within the team before the retreat?

We work on our relationships with providers so that you don’t have to. If something changes within the booking, we’re able to adjust those elements on our side as long as it’s within a reasonable time before the event itself. Otherwise, we will do our best to work with the venues to see what’s possible, and negotiate on your behalf.

How do you make the content relevant to our company?

In our planning stage, we gather insights and objectives from a variety of stakeholders in addition to completing assessments with your team. We pull these information streams together to provide your team’s custom program.

We have information we need to share outside of team-building sessions, how do you accommodate that?

All of our content is co-curated to suit the needs of your team, so if you have content that you need to present to the team, we work with you to find the best spot in the agenda to deliver your message.

What is your minimum/maximum number of people?

We can run retreats for your executive team of minimum 4 or 5 and we can accommodate your full crew as long as we’re able to find a venue that will fit the full group!

We have a lot of dietary preferences/restrictions on our team, how do you make that work?

We work with the venue to share any dietary needs to ensure that there are suitable options for every member of your team. As long as we know with advance notice, we’re able to ensure accommodations.

We’re not located in Ontario, can we still work with Unicorn Labs for our team retreat?

Yes! We’re happy to travel to you and help you achieve your transformational retreat experience whether it’s here in Ontario, across North America, or somewhere a little more exotic!

If you don’t, someone else will!

4-5 clients (on average) call me for projects every week but I only have time to work with 2 per month.
