2027 HR & CFO Retreat - Part II
Welcome Back.
March 11–13, 2027 | Atlanta, Georgia
You’ve Built the Foundation. Now Go Deeper.
You’ve done the work. You know the frameworks. And you already know this group. Part II brings graduates of the original HR & CFO Retreat back together for 2.5 days of deeper leadership work, honest conversation, and practical application.
This Is Part II.
Designed exclusively for graduates of the original retreat, this experience picks up where Part I left off.
- Go deeper into Thinq360™, Fabulous Leadership, and the 4 Voice Model
- Build skills for stakeholder management and crucial conversations.
- Strengthen your adaptability and leadership impact
- Reconnect with the people who were part of the journey the first time around
Same People. New Challenges. Deeper Work.
Part I created a shared language and a community of leaders who understand the work. Part II gives you the chance to come back together, compare notes, challenge your thinking, and keep moving forward.
Remember this crew? We’re getting the group back together.
Why Come Back?
Because leadership did not get simpler after Part I.
Bring the situations you are working through now: competing priorities, difficult conversations, changing teams, shifting expectations, and the decisions that do not come with an easy answer.
You’ll leave with sharper tools, greater self-awareness, and a clearer plan for what comes next.

Agenda
| March 11 | |
| 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM | Arrival & Registration Check in and reconnect with fellow retreat participants! |
| 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM |
Reconnect & Refresh
A ShiftUp reunion in feel, rather than a re-teach. The Part One toolset comes back into the room -- VUCA, 5 Levels of Thinking, Career Quest, Fabulous Problem Types, Thinq360 and Fabulous Leader -- with the group doing most of the talking. |
| 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM | Reception and Dinner |
| March 12 | |
| 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM | Thinq360 202: Flexing Your Thinking & Solving Problems Building on Part One, this session turns the focus outward as participants practice recognizing others’ thinking styles and flexing their own approach. Using scenarios and real challenges, teams will apply Thinq360, Fabulous Problem Types, and the 5 Levels of Thinking to strengthen collaboration and solve problems more strategically. |
| 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM | Lunch |
| 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM | Managing Stakeholders New content begins here, and it begins with the reality that schools answer to more constituencies than most organizations ever face. This session sets the backdrop for why crucial conversations are so constant and so consequential in this environment. |
| 3:00 PM - 3:00 PM | Evening on Your Own Participants are free to choose their own dining and evening activities. |
| March 13 | |
| 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM |
Crucial Conversations & Commitments
Friday maps the stakeholder terrain; Saturday is about learning to walk & talk it. This is a working session built around practice rather than lecture, taking the stakeholders and situations identified the day before and putting them to work. |
