How to Host an Alice in Wonderland Themed Retreat
On Friday, the Swift Kick team got together to plan the first quarter of 2017. It was extra special because we got to meet Dee for the first time! Melissa and I have been planning this retreat for a while now, so we are so happy that our Alice in Wonderland day turned out perfectly. Step […]
3 Ingredients for a Successful Event
The rest of the Swift Kick team doesn’t know it, but I have spent my day working from home on coloring and crafting and gathering supplies. Shhh, don’t tell! I can’t tell you exactly why I am doing these Kindergarten activities without giving too much away. But I can tell you that it’s for tomorrow’s […]
How to Host a Willy Wonka Retreat for your Team
Can Oompa Loompas make your team stronger and better together? Heck yeah! Another quarter, another overly thought-out and ridiculous retreat planned by Melissa and myself.

The First Swift Kick Retreat of 2007
The 1st SK company retreat of 2007 closed on January 10th. This retreat differentiated from the other three we held in 2006 because instead of being about basic logistics of upcoming programs, it was about the growth and vision of Swift Kick as we move into 2007 and beyond. We stated several times on this […]
