The Leadership Wisdom Retreat
Create Space.
Just Breathe.
Lead with Wisdom.
Do you sometimes feel that all you want is some space?
Space to think, to feel, to be; to get to the bottom of something, to be able to see what is next for you or get some fresh perspective.
Space to remember what brings you joy.
The more responsibilities we have, the more we can end up feeling too busy and overwhelmed. We can end up lacking clarity, stuck or exhausted. Fed up with being fed up.
Doing more is not the answer although it does seem to be the only option; maybe there is another way? Is it possible that the constant sense of urgency is not a sign to speed up, but a sign to slow down…
On your one-to-one leadership wisdom retreat with Elizabeth, in Southern Spain, we will step off the speedboat of life and onto the barge, allowing you to reflect, see more and gain a fresh perspective on any challenge you may be facing.
Be truly heard, feel nourished, take things off your mind. Receive insightful guidance and come home to the core of who you really are.
Stretch beyond what currently looks possible and craft a soul-satisfying, sustainable vision - one you can lead and deliver with heart and wisdom.
“I have made massive progress on the vision I created on the retreat. It’s fantastic to see how much I have achieved and changed effortlessly in one year - in my health, at work, in life. I am now my authentic and best self.
My insights from the retreat have become woven into my daily life. I enjoy my life and I can honestly say I am doing what I do best in the way that I do it best. I am the happiest and most content I have ever been”.
April Preston, Global Product Director,
Holland and Barrett
The benefits of attending this retreat…
This is me…
I have been a leadership coach and mentor for over 30 years, and have worked in most business sectors with every kind of person supporting leaders to adapt, evolve and experience breakthrough.
It has felt like a journey - a coming through. Arriving back at the same place having travelled to a deeper level, understanding and embracing more of what it means to be the best version me. It felt like a deep muscle massage for leadership: sometimes a bit painful but emerging renewed, ready to stretch further, no longer aching and with hope in my heart.”
James Rutter, Chief Creative Officer, Cook
With me you get a real human being; a warm connection and a lightness of heart. No matter how you may be feeling, I have been there, and discovered a path to gratitude for the highs and grace with the lows.
Many people can offer techniques, advice or even sympathy, which can be nice but not game-changing.
What I offer is different. I deeply listen and help you hear your own wisdom. Like a Doula for Leaders - I help you navigate any transition or desired transformation.
In addition my mastery lies in being a Seer. Insightfully seeing you with a laser focus; what is going on for you, your blindspots, what might liberate you, your gifts and most of all seeing your unique essence - who you are at core.
I am constantly amazed to witness the breakthroughs that become possible for anyone who creates the space to come home to their true, natural and authentic self.
Old patterns or stories holding you back seem to dissolve and instead you access a deep sense of reassurance you are on track, or whether a more satisfying and rewarding track is right there waiting for you to simply see it. You get clear on what you want, really really want and how to have it. And it will feel fun, light and joyful.
"Like many of us, despite my successes, I experienced moments of self doubt which got in my way. I was close to physical and emotional burnout. Then I met Elizabeth. She gave me space to press pause and reset.
A three day retreat to focus on what was getting in my way and unloading it, before building a future vision from joy. When I wasn’t with Elizabeth, I was alone which was priceless. I can honestly say, the whole experience transformed me. The distraction of self doubt has gone, I am confident, unburdened and energised. The space on my own allowed me to focus on my future and what’s next for me, which is liberating. I can’t recommend her highly enough”

Is this you?
You are a leader of people, leading a business or department. You also have responsibilities at home and feel pulled in a hundred directions - (like Britney, everyone wants a piece of you).
You know deep down there is a better way for you to feel fulfilled and to thrive, as a leader and in life.
And, when YOU thrive you can help others around you thrive too.
You want to truly support those in your team, family and life, but you cannot give from an empty cup.
You know that balance and wellbeing are really good ideas, but they can seem like another thing you are supposed to do and you never quite manage to nail it.
In fact, there are lots of ‘shoulds’ in your life where you think you should be doing better than you are.
Maybe you lack confidence and even feel like an imposter at times.
Life can feel overwhelming, every now and again your find yourself trying to hold back the tears (maybe even hiding in the loo).
Sometimes the people you love the most don’t get the best of you. (Maybe it’s an exhausted, impatient or frustrated version of you).
You might feel mystified by your own answer to the ‘Spice girl’ question: Tell me what you want, what you really, really want?
You KNOW you have a lot to be grateful for and compared to many others you are blessed, but you don’t always FEEL this.
Sometimes you wonder why you are working so hard. What is it all for? Is this it? Why can’t you just enjoy work and life, feel satisfied, successful and at peace?
“Anyone who gets to go on retreat with Elizabeth is very lucky. With a flash of intuition, Elizabeth lasers in on the very thing that is needed; creating a spark that all of a sudden illuminates everything and ignites something new in me.”
Nicola Bird, Entrepreneur, Author and Creatrix

“It’s just about seeing, opening your eyes again. Waking up again. I would recommend this to anyone. It’s life-changing. I can honestly say it's been like scales dropping from my eyes. An excellent experience and I fully recommend it.”

“Working with Elizabeth changed my life, she helps me find clarity, purpose and reconnect with what matters, both at work and at home. I couldn’t recommend working with her more highly.”
Elizabeth Hogg, Chief Operating Officer, Holiday Extras
“There are very few people in our profession as skilled as Elizabeth. I have experienced firsthand how she has used her insight and talents to help hundreds of leaders change thinking, habits and perspectives that mean they go on to flourish. “Game changing” is the word I most frequently hear to describe her and her approach.
Personally, I think there is a little bit of magic in there too - and everyone needs more magic, and therefore Elizabeth, in their lives”
Anna Vila Pouca, CPsychol,

Marks & Spencers
“Elizabeth taps into the true essence of leadership and the true essence of leaders and enables them to lead from a place of authenticity to deliver truly great results.”
