This Is Where You Get Everyone Rowing Toward Them, together.
Offsite retreats and workshops that make space for candor, clarity, and commitment.
Designed for leadership teams navigating change, growth, or misalignment — and smart enough to pause before pushing forward.
Most leadership meetings stay safe and surface-level. They fill the day but change nothing.
At The Modern, we create experiences that surface real issues, foster shared understanding, and spark decisive movement — all while giving you the rare chance to just be a participant again.
Led by Whitney Siders, our retreats and offsites are facilitated with bold empathy, strategic candor, and a proven structure that leaves teams more focused, energized, and united.
Your leadership team is capable. Smart. Experienced.
But something’s… off. And it’s not always easy to name. You’re having the meetings. You’re setting the goals. But decisions stall. Priorities shift. Tension lingers under the surface.
And despite your best efforts, you keep circling the same conversations without real traction.
Sound familiar?
You’ve had big changes — a reorg, new hires, a fast growth cycle
You’re sensing a dip in morale, but no one’s saying it outright
You’ve tried to create alignment internally… but people keep slipping back into their silos
The team’s exhausted, and it’s showing in culture, communication, and clarity
It’s not that your team doesn’t care.
It’s that you’re too in it to see what’s really holding you back.
This is what The Modern creates — and why it works.
You don’t need another productivity push or team-building game.
You need space to slow down, get honest, and create shared direction that actually sticks.
But here’s the catch:
You can’t do that and facilitate at the same time.
You need someone outside the system — someone your team trusts, but who isn’t afraid to press on the stuff no one else will say out loud.
That’s where Whitney steps in.
With strategic insight, real-time adaptability, and fearless yet empathetic facilitation, Whitney helps teams:
Surface and unpack the real challenges beneath the surface
Cut through the noise and name what matters most
Create aligned, shared priorities everyone’s invested in
Reconnect not just around the work — but with each other
Leave with energy, clarity, and a clear plan forward
These aren’t just “offsites.”
They’re turning points.
Every engagement is customized, but here’s what we take care of:
Discovery meeting to define goals + desired outcomes
Pre-offsite surveys and/or interviews with key stakeholders
Drafting your agenda and aligning expectations across the team
Coordinating food, space, materials, and the vibe
Active, adaptive leadership of the day
Strategic exercises + candid conversation
Decision-making tools to move from ideas to clarity
Optional pre-meeting dinner or team experience add-on
Written summary of outcomes and next steps
Templates, notes, and tools for team follow-through
Optional follow-up facilitation or executive coaching
You leave with clarity, direction, and a team that’s ready to deliver — together.
When a leadership team finally slows down long enough to get honest, aligned, and intentional — the results go far beyond the room.
We’ve seen what happens when the right conversations finally happen. When the swirl stops and the direction becomes clear. When people feel heard, trusted, and reinvested in the mission.
Here’s what teams walk away with:
No more juggling 12 priorities or reacting to noise. You'll leave with aligned, focused direction you can actually execute.
Teams recalibrate not just around what to do — but how to work together, speak up, and show up consistently.
People feel safer, heard, and more invested. Candid conversations create deeper respect, even in disagreement.
It’s not just talk — it’s decisions, action steps, and a plan for keeping momentum going after the offsite ends.
Burnout turns into belief. Fatigue turns into focus. The whole team walks out reconnected to the bigger mission.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“The most productive leadership retreat we’ve ever had. Whitney created a space where we could say what needed to be said — and move forward without spinning.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"We have already checked many things off the list in just a month following our offsite. I would strongly recommend The Modern as quite literally, a better, more modern approach to offsite experiences! We'll definitely be engaging more in the future."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“We didn’t realize how much misalignment we were tolerating until we finally named it. Now we have a plan and a pulse again.”

Misalignment. Uncertainty. Overwhelm.
Teams are swirling. Progress stalls. Energy drains.
Sound familiar?
This is where The Modern becomes your catalyst for real change.
The difference?
We help you pinpoint and solve the root cause, not just treat the symptoms.
That’s how you unlock meaningful, sustainable change.
You've outgrown the general leadership advice and surface level coaching.
There’s misalignment beneath the surface...and you can feel it.
What you need is a pattern interrupt.
A new lens. A partner who will guide, challenge, and hold up the mirror for you where it matters most.
We’re that partner. And we’re ready when you are.
Often, leaders call us when:
The usual playbook stops working
They feel it - something's off, but it's hard to name
Progress is stalling or the team is spinning
Internal training isn't moving the needle
They need outside eyes, real talk, and accountability
The Modern doesn't provide just a leadership coaching. We are a pattern-breaker. A translator of team dynamics.
And a trusted advisor who knows when to coach — and when to call it like it is.
Why companies call us in:
They’ve outgrown surface-level coaching
There’s hidden misalignment — and no one’s saying it
They’re scaling fast and leadership can’t keep up
Internal training hasn’t moved the needle
They need outside eyes, real talk, and a shift
At The Modern, we help executive teams and HR leaders solve what’s really slowing them down: misalignment, unspoken tension, and team dynamics no one’s naming.
We don’t do fluff.
We don’t do offsites for optics.
We deliver behavior-driven strategy
that gets to the root and moves your team forward — fast.
Whether through:
DNA Assessments that bring clarity to hiring and team fit,
Team Development that builds trust and accountability, or
Leadership Offsites that realign and refocus decision-makers...
The result is always the same:
Aligned leaders. Honest conversations. And momentum you can feel.

"She has a method or approach to assist you in a solution for almost every problem..."
- Jerelde C.
"I wanted to thank Lametra with helping me recognize my TRUE passion...which is teaching Yoga!!!"

Most Leaders Avoid This Work. You Don’t Have To.
The Modern was built for the moments when leadership gets uncomfortable — when trust erodes, teams stall out, and no one’s saying what really needs to be said. We’re not another consultant with a slide deck.
Founded by Whitney Siders, The Modern brings together over a decade of experience in behavioral analysis, executive coaching, and strategic team and organizational development. Whitney is known for her no-BS presence, fearless insight, and ability to say what others won’t — in a way that people can actually hear.
When leaders are ready to level up - their strategy, their growth, their next offsite, The Modern is on speed dial.
