"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
- Albert Einstein




Breathe new life into your business plan
by getting out of the office environment and into a natural environment that inspires new ideas and approaches to problem solving.

Stress reduction training releases past challenges, clears the way for creative new solutions to emerge, improves brain function, maximizes mind performance, work productivity and promotes health & wellness, supporting a team that is functional, efficient and effectual, so your company can achieve higher performance, faster response to customer needs and achieve identified goals quicker.

Targeted experiential exercises are co-designed to address your specific company needs and retreat goals, while introducing effective communication, time management and team building skills that promote proactive cooperation, collaboration and ownership amongst the ranks and strives for win-win solutions.

Getting to the “heart” & “soul” of creative inspiration in the work place inspires your team from a deeper “inner” source which connects employee’s job and career objectives with personal meaning and purpose, which in turn is reflected in customer, satisfaction, public relations and your bottom line.
 
Refresher retreats scheduled quarterly or bi-annually or monthly workshops / seminars help keep the momentum and creative inspiration going throughout the year and with an annual contract for follow-up refreshers, you company receives great cost savings.

Porchia’s inspires positive change
from a “holistic” body-mind-heart-soul approach to business building and team bonding, brain storming and motivation, prioritizing and time management.

• Create Team Spirit
• Prioritize Time Management
• Motivate & Activate Your Plan
• Transform Blame Into Ownership
• Change Conflict Into Cooperation
• Inspire Creativity & New Approaches
• Move Procrastination Into Commitment
 

Business productivity, efficiency & profitability is dependent on the individuals that make up the team and when team members get stuck in the same old rut, creative thinking becomes stifled.

Unique destinations and resorts that allow for experiential time in nature doing adventures like hiking, biking, horseback riding, exploring back country while also exploring business brainstorming, naturally builds camaraderie, creative thinking and inspires new approaches to problems.


Dianne Porchia, MA has been conducting workshops since 2001. Her Passing Performance™ Stress Reduction Training course has seen over 80% pass rate with law students preparing for the California State Bar exam.

Holistic Stress Reduction & Wellness Retreats For Health, Productivity & Profitability




Move Procrastination Into Commitment.  Learn how to prioritize your day, your week, your month and your year, based on leading authorities in time management, such as Steven Covey's, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and David Allen's, Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity.
 



Porchia's WISH™ holistic approach gets your executives and management team out from under florescent office lights and into inspiring locations in nature to inspire new solutions to old problems.




Porchia's Work & Life In Balance Holistic Stress Reduction and Wellness Retreats includes effective stress reduction techniques, effective communication skills and team bonding that can improve cooperation, productivity and effectiveness in the work place. Effective stress reduction techniques are based on the body's relaxation response which creates a physical state of deep rest that literally changes the neurotransmitters in the brain and the body's response to stress. When your mind is in the optimum state of focused attention and alert meditation, you can think more creatively, solve critical problems more effectively and communicate with others to achieve cooperation.

Motivate & Inspire New Ideas
Acknowledge & Appreciate Staff
Transform Blame Into Ownership
Change Conflict Into Cooperation


Dianne Porchia skillfully tailor designs communication exercises
which get to the "heart" & "soul" of blocks and barriers in the work place and replaces this with identification and acknowledgement of each person's unique talents, gifts and critical role they play in the workforce team. Your employees become inspired from a deeper "inner" source which connects their job and career objectives with personal meaning and purpose, resulting in greater personal confidence, esteem and effectiveness at work.

Holistic Day Retreats For  Care Givers & Their Clients

Helping Others Is Most Effective
When You Help Yourself  First




Social workers, care givers and service providers all share similar nurturing and caring personality traits that motivate their career path in helping others.

Such selfless service oriented work can also pull on your heart strings, seducing much emotional involvement and taking on of responsibility for the other person.  This can result in worker burn out, exhaustion, depression, weakened immune system, illness and injury for the social worker or care giver.


Dianne Porchia, MA, designs dynamic, fun, educational and healing retreat programs for non-profit and government service organizations through her unique “holistic” approach to Work & Life In Balance.   








“Dianne helped us feel
comfortable and safe enough to share intimate details about difficult topics in a way that we’ve never done before.  


The homey setting of the retreat enabled us to relax, share and open up to each other without barriers or
outside distractions.”
