Meaningful off-site experiences to reconnect
and help your team and business  flourish

Let us help you navigate the changing landscape of work

Work is changing. This includes not just where we work and how we work (hello hybrid!) — but also employees’ expectations. People want to know that their work matters and that the company they work for shares their values. They want to be able to bring their full self to work and feel seen and respected.  

It can be hard to know how to navigate these changes — and frustrating when you find that the tried and true tools you’ve used in the past just don’t work anymore. Guided by an experienced business consultant and coach, your team will leave our company retreat with a deeper connection and commitment to their collective purpose. We’ll help you break through stagnation and frustration to find a better way forward. 

Our business retreats can cater for up to 20 individuals in luxury accommodation based near the ski village of Morzine, France. You’ll be surrounded by natural beauty and endless opportunities for exploration and adventure. 

Looking for a personal executive retreat? We do that too.

“IT’S BEEN AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE, BOTH PERSONALLY AND AS A TEAM. WE’VE SLOWED DOWN AND GONE FROM THINKING ABOUT THINGS TO REALLY FEELING THINGS. ABOVE ALL, THIS HAS BEEN AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT. TO THINK ABOUT WHERE WE’VE BEEN AND WHERE WE’RE GOING. WE’VE FELT FREE TO THINK BIG BUT WE’VE ALSO COME AWAY WITH PRACTICAL NEXT STEPS AT THE SAME TIME.”

Hear it from a client

We brought a team of innovation consultants, based in London, to our signature chalet nestled in the French Alps for four days of reflection, strategic planning, connection and celebration. Hear from them about what this time away meant and how it allowed them to look forward with renewed enthusiasm about an exciting future of their business.

Bespoke business retreats

We understand that each business is different. We’ll connect with you prior to your retreat to ensure we understand your business, your challenges and your people.

4-Day Strategic Planning Retreat

With the increasing prevalence of hybrid working combined with the higher expectations employees now have of their work, being a leader has never been so challenging—or so potentially rewarding. These retreats are for leadership teams looking to be proactive in meeting the changing needs of the workplace. We’ll focus on big ideas and concrete, tangible changes you can make. We’ll look at leadership models and the importance of working on purpose for purpose.

Strategic Planning Retreat includes:

 ● Consultation to ensure that we design the exact right experience for your team

● The right workspace: we’ll design, set-up and facilitate to your specifications

● Workshop set up, hosting and meeting facilitation (if required)

● Outdoor activities to help catalyze the adventurer in each of the team—from strenuous guided hikes to mountaineering, from cycling to rafting, from cold wild swims to guided skiing 

● Mindfulness practices such as yoga, meditation or Qi Gong to help center and ground your team

● Concierge service to ensure the logistics of your retreat run smoothly from start to finish

Investment: from €2500 per person

4-Day Team Appreciation Retreats

Maybe your team has recently achieved a long-standing goal, or maybe you’re looking to celebrate the past year—whatever the occasion, we’re here to help your team feel appreciated. Generally, we make these a two-act affair. We spend the first couple of days working on team and leadership development activities designed specifically for your business. The latter two days are all about celebrating the team and we encourage the invitation of partners and significant others.

Team Appreciation Retreat Includes:

 ● A consultation with an experienced business consultant to plan the perfect appreciation weekend for the unique members of your team

● Accommodation in a luxury chalet near Morzine, France

● 3 delicious meals a day plus snacks

● Group activities chosen with your team in mind: options include cycling, mountaineering, yoga, meditation, rafting, paddle-boarding—even cookery classes 

● Concierge service to ensure the logistics run smoothly from start to finish

Investment: from €2500 per person

5-Day Team Connection Retreat

We don’t need to tell you about the challenges of adjusting to new ways of working — you’re living them. With remote and hybrid working on the rise, it’s even more important to invest in coming together to create meaningful, impactful connection enabling your team to continue delivering exceptional work.

Outdated and half-hearted team building won’t cut it. We hypothesise that the businesses who will come out thriving in the next 5-10 years will have used the recent work shake-ups as an opportunity to rethink. They’ll know when and how to make remote working successful, and they’ll recognise the importance of creating strong bonds between their people, helping them to support each other wherever they’re located.

Team Building Retreat includes:

● A short consultation with an experienced business consultant to ensure the exact right mix of activities for your team

● A workspace designed for your team—we’ll take care of the set up and facilitation based on your specification

● Luxury accommodation in a private chalet in the French Alps

● 3 delicious meals a day plus afternoon snacks

● Activities chosen with your team in mind. Options include cycling, mountaineering, rafting, paddle-boarding, hiking, yoga, meditation, skiing and more.

● Concierge service to ensure that your retreat runs smoothly from start to finish

Investment: from €2500 per person

“THE OPPORTUNITY TO WALK AND TALK TOGETHER – TO DO COACHING WORK AND TO LEARN THINGS ABOUT OURSELVES AND EACH OTHER THAT WE WOULD HAVE NEVER DONE IN THE OFFICE, OR JUST GOING FOR A COFFEE OR OUT FOR DINNER. MAKING THAT INVESTMENT AND HAVING THAT QUALITY TIME TOGETHER HAS BEEN BRILLIANT.”

Russ Pocock       
Partner, T-Minus, London

Are you under intense pressure to continue performing at a high level while leading your team, business or organisation? Do you have little time to stop and think about how you’re working? Book a bespoke 1:1 coaching intensive experience and take a break from the fast-paced business world. You’ll find time to recenter, build new skills and return to work refreshed and ready to take on new challenges.

This isn’t a holiday — it’s time for you to attend to your personal development and reconnect with what really matters to you, enabling you to become a more effective leader. 

During the intensive, we’ll  work on whatever aspect of your career or life is currently challenging you the most. This may involve developing your authentic leadership style; navigating workplace conflict and drama; balancing home life with work; people management; or how to find time for yourself amidst all of the things competing for your limited attention.

By leaving your everyday life behind for a few days (or more), you’ll be able to gain a fresh perspective and reconnect to what really matters. And by getting out into nature as you do so, you’ll access alternative ways of being, learning and growing. 

Every leader is different. And each of our individual leadership intensives are designed to reflect your unique needs. During the morning, we’ll have 1:1 coaching sessions — often while we hike up a mountain, or walk alongside a rushing river — which will help you get out of your head and access your embodied intelligence. The afternoons will be yours. We can organise any number of activities from mountaineering to yoga — or maybe what you really need is to curl up in front of the fire with a good book.  We can arrange that too.

But first, you need to take the first step towards revitalising yourself and your career. Get in touch and we’ll help you design the bespoke leadership intensive you need — and deserve.
