About

In the race to meet utility transformation goals, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly drives change: people.

 

The ENERGIZE Retreat provides a unique opportunity to step away from daily pressures and immerse yourself in human-centered learning that cultivates confidence, empathy, emotional intelligence, and the mindsets and behaviors of 21st-century leaders in utility.

 

Grounded in U2030’s Learning Experience Design (LXD), the retreat blends practical tools, peer collaboration, and moments of unexpected inspiration. You’ll fine-tune your ability to navigate complex challenges—including bold innovation, regulatory shifts, and rising customer and workforce expectations—while reconnecting with your purpose and leading with clarity and lasting impact.

 

Key Takeaways

• Practice strategies for having critical and difficult conversations

• Gain tools to motivate others—even those who don’t report to you—and keep them focused on long-term goals amid competing priorities

• Reconnect with your personal brand and strengthen it through intentional actions

​
