I recently took part in an amazing adventure organized by The Viomatico. A workation, aka business retreat, is not a holiday; it’s a strategic business activity that combines work and professional development in a new environment. The primary focus is on enhancing productivity, fostering creativity, and investing in skills or strategic planning that directly benefits the business. I left with low expectations and came home with renewed mental and physical energy, actionable strategies, at least 13 new friends, tons of connections and a whole bunch of ideas, solutions and inspiration to process later on.
The ingredients:
- A group of enterpreneurs or freelancers from different places on the planet and from different industries. In my case there were people working in UX, tourism, fitness, healthcare, event management, copywriting, coaching, IT, interior design and rocket science.
- A magical location with beautiful accomodation, and wonderful food
- Workshops, skill-sharing, masterclasses
- Outside these workshops there are trips and visists, surf classes, yoga classes, a cooking class. Never a boring moment, but not a stuffed schedule. The perfect balance between hard work and relaxing.
- The viomatico retreats are extremely well organized and led by the Viomatico's founders. They are two amazing coaches who are full of wisdom and knowledge, and just two beautiful warm welcoming humans living their best life, and inviting you to do the same
The insights I gained over such a short period of time, the lessons I learned, the new friends I made, and the overall positive, creative, no-nonsense atmosphere made this adventure really worth it.
