**Subject:** Invitation – Off-site Strategy Day (lunch on me!)

Hey team,

I am excited to invite all of you to our first off-site strategy day of the year. With Q2 just around the corner, I think it would be valuable to step away from our desks and really think about what we want to achieve together – and have some fun while we do it.

The purpose of the day is threefold: first, to review what worked and what didn’t in Q1. Second, to set clear priorities and goals for Q2. Third, to strengthen how we work as a team – including addressing any bottlenecks or frustrations you have been feeling. This is not a performance review. This is a collaborative planning session where everyone’s voice matters equally.

Here are the details:

Date: Friday, February 21st
Time: 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM (core session), followed by optional drinks from 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM
Location: The Loft Conference Room, 15th floor of the coworking space next door (we have booked the space)

Agenda:
9:30 AM – 10:00 AM: Coffee and pastries
10:00 AM – 12:00 PM: Q1 retrospective and Q2 goal setting
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM: Catered lunch (please send me dietary restrictions)
1:00 PM – 3:00 PM: Action planning and role assignments
3:00 PM – 3:30 PM: Wrap-up and next steps
3:30 PM – 5:00 PM: Optional social time (drinks provided)

Please let me know by this Friday if you can attend so I can finalize catering and materials. If you cannot attend the full day, even joining for the morning or afternoon would be valuable. Your input is critical, and I want everyone to feel included.

Looking forward to a productive and enjoyable day together.

Best,
Marcus
