title: MUI's team retreat in Chamonix | ||
description: The MUI team spent five days in the French Alps team-building, problem-solving, and brainstorming. Read all about it! | ||
date: 2023-03-16T00:00:00.000Z | ||
authors: ['mikailaread'] | ||

tags: ['Company'] | ||

|
||
## Why the Chamonix gathering? | ||
|
||
Being a distributed team means everyone at MUI works asynchronously. | ||
|
||
We celebrate having the freedom to deeply focus on what we're delivering, and being able to fit work around life instead of life around work. 😀 | ||
|
||
But this way of working can also mean some team members experience very little overlap in their online hours, which can make it more challenging to connect personally or collaborate. | ||
|
||
So, what do we do? | ||
|
||
MUI is extremely intentional about bridging gaps by bringing our people together every ~8 months (as a minimum). | ||
|
||
_Our team retreats are about providing everyone a more tangible opportunity to feel part of the MUI community and to learn more about each other outside of work._ | ||
|
||
It's a time to focus more on who we are as individuals, which creates a wonderful ripple effect on the ways we work together as a team. | ||
|
||
## Where did we go? | ||

|
||
Chamonix is a world capital for outdoor activities, such as mountaineering, skiing, snowboarding, paragliding, hiking, climbing, and so much more! | ||
|
||
The Chamonix Mont Blanc valley offers unmatched alpine views, plus a whole host of stunning protected flora and fauna. | ||
With a bustling city center full of quaint shops and restaurants — there's something for everyone to enjoy. | ||
|
||
We stayed in the beautiful Helopic Hotel & Spa, which fit our needs perfectly. With fully-equipped conference rooms, a cozy lobby bar, a table-service restaurant, and a luxury spa — everything we needed was on-site. (The food was delicious, too!) | ||

|
||
## What did we do? | ||
|
||
We kicked off the week with several unique team-building activities, including a mini Winter Olympics, a competitive team biathlon, and even axe-throwing. 🎯🪓 | ||
|
||
Engaging in new experiences together gave us an opportunity to learn about each other's strengths and weaknesses, and to develop a better understanding of how our differences influence the ways we might communicate and work together. | ||
|
||
It also provided room for team members to share past experiences with one another and gain new perspectives. | ||

|
||
On the work-front, we hosted our monthly team meeting and offered a spread of different topic-based sessions for a "choose your own adventure" feel. | ||
People could opt into the sessions they felt most passionate or excited about, which really helped to sustain energy and result in fruitful discussions. | ||
|
||
Solving challenges and sparking new ideas takes on such a different feel when you're all in the same time and place! | ||
Our team walked away with a number of actionable changes and commitments for the near and far future. | ||
|
||

|
||
Following our very productive sessions, it was time to relax and refresh ourselves. | ||
We decided to increase the amount of downtime on our final day together and leave space for serendipitous fun to unfold. | ||
|
||
And guess what: _**it worked!**_ | ||
|
||
One of the most-loved parts of our retreat in team feedback surveys turned out to be a completely unplanned game night. | ||
Despite tiring return journeys ahead, an exhausted group of us set up camp in the hotel lobby to play cards and board games into the wee hours of the morning. | ||
Special bonds formed over some very colorful rounds of Saboteur and terribly-executed magic tricks. 🙃🎩 | ||
|
||
It was just what we needed to close out the retreat with some moments of real connection. | ||
|
||
## What's next? | ||
|
||
If you can believe it, we're already busy planning our next meet-up. Although we haven't decided on an exact location just yet, the team has agreed this much loud and clear: somewhere warm! ☀️😅 | ||

@samuelsycamore's post about the previous retreat had a slightly different title ("MUI's company retreat in Tenerife: a recap"). Should we standardize it, meaning this one would turn to "MUI's company retreat in Chamonix: a recap"? No strong preference for any of the two but probably continuing the trend would be good 👌
