Solidus

The current political climate has created high-pressure external factors that forced Solidus to reevaluate their business–with a primary focus on scaling efficiently & effectively. Additionally, as a fully-remote organization that employs a mix of tenured employees, the Solidus team struggled to gain buy-in and build meaningful connections at work.

“The biggest benefit was trust — both in each other and in the process. Robin helped us move beyond the surface and get real about what we need to function as a high-performing team. That foundation of trust is something we’ll continue to build on, long after the offsite. Robin didn’t just facilitate sessions — she helped us reconnect to our mission and to each other”
— Carla James, CEO, Solidus

Key Challenges

  • Prioritization of future work vs. current fire drills

  • High adversity to change 

  • Misaligned expectations cross-functionally

  • Difficulty building relationships remotely 

The Solution

A two-day offsite dedicated to improving communication, optimizing processes and building trust. Here’s how it works:
 

Pre-Offsite

  • Intake calls with CEO to identify challenges & symptoms of team dysfunction

  • Survey for all participants to share their perspectives

  • Collaborative agenda-building & scheduling

 

The Offsite Experience

  • Tailored lectures focused on key challenges (communication & process improvement)

  • Interactive exercises that illustrate the importance of communication 

  • Deep dives into key business areas for optimization

  • Expert facilitation & tactful navigation of tense interpersonal issues

The Results

Confidence in the future of the business

A sense of momentum and shared purpose

Strong feelings of connection at work

Increased empathy for colleagues

“The ROI was significant. We didn’t just leave with actionable items — we left with stronger trust, clearer alignment, and renewed momentum. The offsite helped reset our focus, reduce friction points, and reinforce team cohesion in a way that’s already showing up in how we work. That kind of outcome is hard to measure but easy to feel and it’s lasting.”
