residential / retreats

Residential work has been proved to be highly successful and have been running them since 2004. Attendees have found them profound, refreshing and energising. There is something about being away from home and the office that enables intense reflection and refocus.

The residential experience will:

  • help you to know yourself, strengths, history, values, vision and how you marry these to your organisational culture, values and vision and to know yourself with others as a leader and how to overcome the barriers between you and your vision in order to develop your mindful leadership

  • give you a time to reflect and renew your sense of purpose

  • provide a chance to explore new ideas and recharge

  • enable you to develop a reflective learning practice 

  • build your emotional, physical and spiritual intelligences

  • develop deep listening and coaching skills

This is achieved by:

  • facilitated experiential learning

  • individual coaching sessions

  • guided reflection

  • comprehensive workbook

  • latest research made practical and experiential (intelligences, attachment, neuroscience, leadership)

  • coaching and listening

  • the creative journal

  • reflective time-outs

  • personal planning

  • contracting tools

  • action learning

  • using the group

  • giving and receiving feedback

Call to find out how we can help you or you team find the transformational power of the residential experience.

Duncan has been designing, facilitating, leading and evaluating a range of workshops, seminars, thinking days and top team development programmes for 20 years.

Psychological knowledge, managerial and leadership experience, naming lurking elephants, bringing healing balm to teams or just helping you to think through the current challenges are all part of this service.

We provide intense reflection, mindful focus, empathy, and freedom of judgement to enable teams to improve their communication, understand each other and work together to transcend the sum of the parts.

I have participated in many management development courses over my career and can definitely say that this has been the best form of learning ever and has a double bonus as it can also benefit me in my personal life.  Thank you.

The residential shone a torch into hidden/ignored areas that needed some light and warmth - in a compassionate, constructive and practical way. Exhausting, uplifting and inspiring.
