Thoughtfully Designed. Intentionally Customized.
Highly Impactful.
Ama La Vida designs and delivers offsite facilitation that helps teams move through complex challenges and make meaningful progress together. Our facilitation experiences are intentional and outcomes-focused. Teams leave with stronger relationships, clearer priorities, and alignment on next steps.
HOW IT WORKS
We begin by immersing ourselves in your organization’s culture, team dynamics, and strategic priorities. Through discovery conversations with key stakeholders, we clarify objectives and design a facilitation experience that is relevant, engaging, and results driven.
Each engagement typically includes:
- Stakeholder discovery sessions
- A customized agenda designed for your team and goals
- Pre-offsite communication templates
- Expert on-site or virtual facilitation
- A post-offsite debrief with insights and recommendations
Our facilitators equip teams with practical tools to improve collaboration, communication, and alignment long after the offsite ends.
Case Study
CLIENT BACKDROP
A senior People leadership team was navigating rapid organizational growth and increasing pressure to align People initiatives with revenue and long-term business strategy. As the business scaled, the team needed a clearer, more unified approach to operating as a strategic partner to the business.
Ama La Vida was engaged to facilitate a 2.5-day leadership offsite focused on strategic alignment, clarity, and execution.
CHALLENGE
The People leadership team faced competing priorities and lacked a shared strategic framework linking People initiatives to business outcomes.
They needed to:
- Align on a clear People strategy tied to revenue goals
- Establish ownership across strategic priorities
- Translate strategy into an actionable roadmap
- Strengthen trust and alignment within the leadership team
OUR APPROACH
Ama La Vida designed and facilitated a focused, multi-day offsite that balanced strategic rigor with human connection. The experience moved the team from alignment to execution, ensuring clarity, accountability, and momentum.
| time | focus | description |
|---|---|---|
| 20min | Intentions | Opening remarks and intention-setting for the offsite |
| 120min | Connection & Trust | Life journeys and user manuals |
| 90min | BHAG | Defining the big, bold goal to enable $4B in revenue |
| 120min | Strategy | Building the roadmap to achieve the BHAG |
| 30min | Pre-Mortem | Identifying risks and accountability mechanisms |
| 60min | SWOT | Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats—and how they impact success |

IMPACT
The offsite delivered clear, business-aligned outcomes.
Unified People strategy aligned to revenue and growth goals.
