"There was a lot to do coming out of our annual staff retreat. That could have been overwhelming. But breaking it up like this over six months made it a lot more doable. It was a learning process about how something can evolve when you stay on it. We learned how to be intentional about building it slowly. I learned how to set goals in a different way."
