Get help with your next offsite.

Company offsites are significant investments—in time, budget, and team energy. Yet too often, they fall short because you're stuck managing logistics or running sessions instead of being a fully present participant. That's where expert facilitation creates transformative value.

I partner with venture-backed companies to design and facilitate offsites where every minute delivers. From clarity on annual planning, to trust built over dinners, to dull-turned-peak moments during a game of werewolf, I craft experiences tailored to your team's specific needs and dynamics.

Experience Design

No two offsites I’ve facilitated have looked identical.

I work with all flavors of groups, from small exec teams in rented Airbnbs to all-company forums in hotel conference rooms.

Whether you need strategic alignment, professional development, trust-building, or simply space to connect as humans, I'll design a custom experience that maximizes your ROI and leaves your team energized and aligned.

What Leaders Are Saying

  • "In my 10+ years working with executive coaches and leadership facilitators, Whitnie stands out as the most impactful by far. Her presence during our executive offsite was genuinely healing, bringing a framework that felt uniquely tailored to our team's specific dynamics and growth areas. Unlike other coaches who apply generic methodologies, Whitnie's authentic approach created the exact space we needed for breakthrough conversations and meaningful transformation. I cannot recommend her highly enough for leadership teams ready to do the real work."

    Charlie Nelson - COO, Pave

  • "Whit’s been an incredible partner to me and our exec team at Metronome. She’s run a few of our leadership offsites and helped us get way sharper on how we operate, where we’re headed, and who owns what. She’s got this rare combo of warmth and precision — she can make space for real, candid conversations *and* keep us moving toward clear decisions. Every time we work with her, we walk away more aligned, focused, and energized."

    Scott Woody - CEO, Metronome

  • "I want to call out how incredible Whit has been and how much appreciation all of the founders have for her. From the pre-retreat logistics to every moment during the program, she made something this complex look effortless. Everything ran smoothly and felt intentional -the way keys were handed out on the first day, the books appearing at the exact moment they were mentioned in a session, the blankets and shuttle after dinner on the second night - I could go on and on. Every detail was thought through. This was a masterclass in user experience and what operational excellence looks like. "

    Ben Biran - CTO, Formable

  • "Whit helped us organize and execute perhaps our best quarterly leadership offsite ever. As a growth stage company, we often have to scramble in the few weeks leading up to the event to plan an event that is quite expensive given the attendees. She ensured we got a very high ROI from the offsite because of the clarity she drove on what we as a leadership team needed to do coming out of it. We left the event bonded as a team and ready to take on the coming quarter. I highly recommend working with her."

    Besik Mikhelashvili - Head of People, Overjet

  • "We not only had a great time, but we and really appreciated Whit’s expert facilitation. It made it so much more impactful than any previous offsite we've had. "

    Justine Palefsky - CEO, Kindred

  • "Whit did a tremendous job facilitating our leadership team's offsite which also included a 360 process in the preceding weeks. I was admittedly a bit nervous coming into the offsite, as I didn't know how some of the relationship dynamics would manifest themselves during the time away from the offsite. Now that the dust has settled, I can safely say that the offsite vastly exceeded my expectations. Our team feels more cohesive and energized than I can ever recall, and I attribute a lot of this to Whit. She has an excellent ability to read people and team dynamics. I am looking forward to working with her many times again. "

    Matt Schulman - CEO, Pave

  • "Whitnie was such a wonderful partner for our first kickoff as a newly formed executive leadership team. She brought an amazing balance of warmth, energy, and thoughtful guidance, creating a safe space where everyone felt heard. Clearly an expert facilitator, Whitnie has a natural finesse in knowing when to step in with guidance to steer us toward alignment and when to let the conversation unfold. She brought professionalism and fun to building out operating principles, working together, and getting us to gel."
