Cross-post from another bowl so apologies for repetition.



We’re a startup about to host our & second only offsite with a small team (15ppl).

I want to ask the team 2-3 questions ahead of the session regarding what they hope to get out of it. So, something along the lines of:

1. What is the one area of the business that you feel needs clarity?

2. What is your hope for where the business is in 6 months time?

3. What is your fear for where the business is in 6 months?

Question:

Tomorrow when you're thinking back on our offsite, what are you going to be glad that we covered?

BTW, your questions are negative.

Instead:

Can you identify an aspect of our business that, if clarified, could enhance our overall performance?

Could you share your optimistic vision for where our business will be in the next six months?

Are there any potential challenges or concerns you foresee in the coming six months that we could proactively address to ensure our business continues to thrive?

I work at a Financial Institution and have recently been approached about a Director role with my prior company. It’s a great opportunity but I have 2 young kids (Preschool/Elementary ages) and I don’t want to sacrifice time with them for career advancement.
