Nourished Leadership Retreat

Imagine a retreat day designed exclusively for female leaders, a sanctuary where they can embark on a transformative journey towards a new paradigm of leadership.

Nourished Leadership

This unique experience introduces our Nourished Leadership Model that goes beyond traditional approaches, embracing a holistic perspective.

The retreat aims to empower and rejuvenate these leaders by fostering a leadership style that not only supports but cultivates sustainability, effectiveness, and happiness. The focus is on guiding these senior leaders to find their flow, creating an environment where they can lead with internal authenticity. By incorporating elements of mindfulness, internal reflection, inner knowing and scientific fact, this retreat is designed to empower leading ladies to stand in their power, be resilient, impactful, and fulfilled in both their professional and personal lives.

The result is a community of leaders who not only excel in their roles but also inspire positive change in their organisations and beyond!

Guiding the retreat with wisdom and expertise are Gemma Wardell and Felicity King, two remarkable facilitators whose diverse backgrounds complement the holistic leadership model.

Retreat Schedule

You will arrive at 9am to refreshments and a light breakfast in The Garden Room. Then follows a series of bespoke retreat sessions to truly nourish mind, body and soul.

We will be a small group (12 max) so there is time and space to embrace your true needs and essence as a capable, powerful woman. Nourished Leadership isn’t about tools and strategies but rather finding your flow and leading from a place of courage and authenticity.

“Nourished Leaders recognise their needs and keep them topped up at all times”.

Part One

Exploring The Nourished Leadership Model and what it can mean for you. Gemma and Felicity will take you through the components of Nourished Leadership, inviting you to see your leadership behaviours through a different lens so that you can make a long-term shift from surviving to thriving.

Part Two

Being in your flow state is a key skill of a Nourished Leader and in this section, we will use breathwork and guided visualisation techniques to develop a clear understanding of this psychological position and how it can be used to enter periods of deep focus without the distractions of self-talk and the barriers to performance and satisfaction that it often brings.

Refreshments

Part Three

Recognising Nourished Leading Ladies and how they choose to behave in a variety of situations. This is a hands-on activity when our guests will work in small groups to unpick the behaviours they admire and aspire to in famous women in leadership. We will be using our unique Packtypes Feedback Tool which is a great way to get everyone talking about the way they would like to develop their own behaviours to achieve their ambitions and sustain themselves in the process.

Part Four

As we delve deeper into the concept of flow and explore the barriers that may hinder our ability to achieve it. In this session, we will investigate how our personal leadership narrative influences our capacity to enter into a state of flow. Through the power of storytelling, we will embark on a journey of self-discovery, uncovering the stories we tell ourselves and how they shape our perceptions, behaviours, and communication patterns. By gaining insight into our internal narratives, we can enhance self-awareness, improve both internal and external communication, and develop a deeper understanding of our internal world.

Delicious healthy lunch.

Part Five

Mindful Steps. Walking is long recognised for helping us find calm, increase our focus and providing mental space for purpose and perspective. We will teach you how to use your breathing to reset and focus your mind to calm the distractions of your subconscious and re-gain your full bandwidth. With the help of fresh air and the beautiful Tickton Grange Estate, you will learn how to use a combination of breath, steps and stillness to get into flow and answer questions or problems with your highest level of creativity and innovation. This is a wonderful way to create new pathways in your brain and as a result, be able to tap into new ideas and thinking, when you need it most.

Part Six

Creating your Personalised Nourished Leadership Recipe so you can stand in your own power.

Cocktails before departing around 6pm.

Personal Coaching Session

To follow up on the intentions you set at the end of our day together, we will arrange a 60-minute coaching session to be taken later in the summer. These sessions will be held over video call with either Gemma or Felicity and serve to strengthen and support your commitments to a Nourished and indeed flourishing leadership life.

Gifts & Treats

In addition, guests will take home a beautiful bag of luxurious self-care goodies, nutrition tips and resources to embed and extend the Nourished Leadership understanding.
