This retreat is designed for leaders of diverse business organisations and entrepreneurs of systemic change from within the corporate sphere. This programme offers experienced professionals a luxurious context to refine and refocus their leadership skills, to boost their communication abilities, and to enhance the felt impact of their creative vision at work. The 3-day weekender is suitable for start-up entrepreneurs, mid-career leaders, and seasoned professionals looking to update their models of interpersonal practice.    

The course aims to meet each participant in their specific needs as outlined in your ‘Intention Letter’ at application. The weekend is designed to bring clarity, confidence, creativity, and calmness into your current approach to leadership. You will have the opportunity to acquire new techniques, and reconsider those you currently use, in an expert and safe space. Specialist and personalised sessions will combine with group-work to support you to: articulate your vision with clarity and passion, to command attention, expand your vocal range, connect with your intuition, and stand for the changes you believe in with authenticity. There will be optional networking sessions to meet others, relaxation time in nature and dynamic group work for testing new ideas. Our professional live illustrator will capture your journey sending you away with a personalised vision board mapping your journey beyond the residency.

The retreat will be led by Anna-Helena McLean, Founder of ACT INTERNATIONAL, and Annemette Verspeak. They are international pioneers of practice, research, teamwork, and facilitation, dedicated to empowering participants on their journey to self-leadership and personal transformation. Beatrice Baumgartner-Cohen is the live illustrator in residence, Erin Nicole Washington a core associate to the director and Tania Camara will be company manager during the retreat and producing assistant. The centre is directed by Antonella Tarditi.
