Board and Leadership Retreats That Create Clarity and Direction

At Conroy Leadership Consulting, Jeff Conroy facilitates board and leadership retreats designed to help organizations slow down, think clearly, and decide where they are headed. Jeff believes an annual retreat should do more than get people out of the office. It is often the only time all year when board members and senior leaders can step back, reflect, and focus on the future of the organization.

As the owner and founder of Conroy Leadership Consulting, Jeff works with nonprofit boards and leadership teams that want outcomes, not just conversation. With more than 30 years of executive and nonprofit leadership experience, he understands board dynamics, governance pressure, and what it takes to move an organization forward.

Jeff works directly with the board chair and CEO to design a retreat that fits the organization’s culture, priorities, and current challenges. No templates. No filler. Just focused work that moves the mission ahead.

What the Retreat Focuses on

Every retreat facilitated through Conroy Leadership Consulting is built around what matters most right now. Depending on the organization’s needs, the agenda may include:

• A focused SWOT analysis to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats
• Clear priority setting for the year ahead using a practical Balanced Scorecard approach
• Defining top organizational goals and how success will be measured
• Aligning board roles, expectations, and governance responsibilities
• Strengthening the working relationship between the board and the CEO

Whether it is a half-day working session or a multi-day retreat, the objective remains the same. Leaders leave aligned, confident, and ready to lead.

How Jeff Facilitates

Jeff does not arrive with a prebuilt agenda. As the founder of Conroy Leadership Consulting, he spends time upfront learning about the organization, understanding board dynamics, and clarifying what success looks like for the retreat. That preparation allows him to design a session that keeps conversations focused, honest, and productive.

His role is to guide the discussion, ask the right questions, and move the group from talking to deciding.

What Organizations Can Expect

• A customized retreat agenda built around real priorities
• Strong facilitation that keeps discussion balanced and on track
• Practical outcomes that can be acted on immediately
• Clear alignment around direction, expectations, and next steps

An annual retreat should set the tone for the year. Through Conroy Leadership Consulting, Jeff helps boards and leadership teams make it count.
