“When you take care of your team, you create a culture of creativity, loyalty, and excitement for the work that you guys are doing together.” - Victoria Marcouillier

A well-planned team retreat is more than just a getaway—it’s an opportunity to reignite creativity, strengthen relationships, and align your team with a shared vision. In this episode, Victoria takes you behind the scenes of how BrandWell Designs has embraced retreats as a cornerstone of their culture, from the first retreat in 2021 to the much-anticipated 2025 retreat in Seaside, Florida.

As BrandWell has grown, so have the logistics, but the mission remains the same: to cultivate an environment of gratitude and connection. Whether it’s fully covering expenses for employees or offering travel stipends for contractors, Victoria is committed to making every team member feel valued. 

But what if a full-scale retreat isn’t feasible? Victoria’s got you covered. From curated gift boxes to personalized stipends, she reveals creative and impactful ways to show appreciation—no travel required. Thoughtful gestures like handwritten notes and verbal recognition can go a long way in boosting morale and reinforcing a positive team culture.

Whether you're dreaming of hosting a transformational retreat or looking for simple yet powerful ways to celebrate your team, this episode will inspire you to integrate rest, gratitude, and connection into your leadership approach.
