informed everyone what the aim was

the office and so didn't need to have them at a staff retreat
>> there didn't seem to be much energy around the topic
>> So I guess it goes back to making sure you have a topic that the 
participants really care about, that it is an invitation and not an obligation, 
at least at an intentional level, and to not assume that the sponsor or person 
you are talking to knows how to explain it to others. I did have an invitation 
which was sent out and the staff were so busy they didn't even read it!
