Run, run, run! Could a day of Meetings get off to a better start? Woken by birdsong, and before the day really gets going, I quickly lace up my trainers and head outside – behind the hotel or to the city park – to burn off a bit of energy along the river.
Coffee, please! Fresh out of the shower, slipped into my business-casual outfit. A healthy breakfast and a fragrant coffee banish even the last vestiges of that ‘I-want-to-go-back-to-bed’ feeling. Quickly open my laptop, check my emails… until a colleague joins me. Snap, laptop shut again – real conversations beat digital stress any day.
Let’s get started: the Meeting room is bright, the atmosphere lively. The facilitator ensures an active exchange of ideas, with variety and a bit of movement thrown in now and then. Regular airing keeps us alert and sharpens our focus. During the break, there are regional and easy snacks, colleagues to network with and a dose of vitamin D, plus a view of nature with a wide-angle effect – the terrace makes it all possible.
Brainfood: Following an eventful Workshop in the morning, it’s time for a slightly different kind of lunch break. A picnic in the hotel garden with blankets, parasols and culinary highlights from the picnic basket. In everyday life, there’s often little time for a chat, so this sort of lunch is a welcome change.
Forest bathing After lunch, it becomes clear why suits, business attire and high heels aren’t part of today’s dress code. Together, we set off towards the forest. The facilitator, who is guiding us through the Conference, takes us on a mini-break. Forest bathing is on the agenda. Breathe in. Exhale. You can really feel the tension and stress melt away, and your circulation gets going.
Foresight – the afternoon couldn’t have gone better. After a healthy, easy lunch, catching up with old and new acquaintances, and our mini-break in the woods, ideas are just flowing at the Meeting.
Dinnertime: we meet at reception and set off straight away for our dinner venue. As virtually everything in Tirol is just round the corner, we reach our chosen restaurant in no time. A modern take on Tirolean Inn Hospitality, featuring regional, seasonal fare, awaits our team. The whole group enjoys an evening full of culinary highlights and warm hospitality.
Over and out! An interesting Conference, complemented by a programme offering added value and learning opportunities, draws to a close. Excitement is building about what we’ll learn and experience the next day.
What fascinated our team the most? Just how much energy can flow, and what new ideas and extraordinary concepts can emerge when a meeting takes place in a healthy environment.
