Last week we had the pleasure of a 24 hour stay at a beautiful hotel deep in the Devon countryside. The purpose of our stay was to celebrate a good year (actually a great year!) to work on our vision and values and to plan for the next 12 months.
It’s been an incredibly busy year with our team delivering more live events than ever before. To manage the workload we’ve needed to grow the Crisp family, with a larger core team in Exeter and new partnerships with associate coaches, each one with a raft of experience in their specific areas of expertise.
As well as growing the team, we’ve invested in our systems, specifically in automating and optimizing repetitive tasks. This has included a more efficient management of multiple diaries and of information sharing, as well as the automation of correspondence with delegates. It’s been a process of trial and error but our new ways of working are beginning to bare fruit and as we move into an even busier year, we’ll be very glad of them to help ease the load.
So here we are below, celebrating the year we’ve just had and looking forward to the year ahead, with many, but not all of our fabulous team at the dreamy Lewtrenchard Manor. The real pleasure of it all (aside from the venue), was getting the chance to spend time with people we very often only get to talk to on the phone or have snatched conversations with in the office; quality time with lovely people – what a treat …and what a team!
