Retourne isn’t the start, and it’s definitely not the end. It’s the messy, in-between flip—a collective 180° that a team or community hits when what used to work just… doesn’t anymore.
It’s the awkward middle ground where systems crack, old labels peel off, and roles get blurry.
Maybe the vision that brought you all together starts to evolve. Maybe the goals stretch. Maybe you all realize that growth doesn’t happen in straight lines—it loops, dips, and sometimes backtracks before it climbs.
In the retourne phase, there’s confusion, tension, maybe even conflict—but underneath that chaos is clarity in disguise.
This is where teams begin to question, unlearn, and re-align. It’s where you pause and say, “Wait. Who are we now? What are we really doing here?”
It’s not about starting over—it’s about flipping the script together. This is the season of honesty, vulnerability, re-evaluation, and shared discomfort.
It's uncomfortable, yes. But it’s also electric. Because when a team makes it through this phase—with empathy, openness, and zero ego—they don’t just evolve.
