Leadership Redefined ~ Reclaimed

“The future of the world is in the hands of women.” _{Kofi Annan, United Nations}

Things are changing – fast! Our traditional approaches to change and creating better lives for ourselves and the people we come in contact with are showing wear and tear at the edges. Our future does not depend on what we do so much as who we are about to become.

Our willingness and ability to redefine ourselves is essential to our rapidly transforming world. Whether at home, at work or in our communities, our capacity to engage in meaningful ways with others to create what we intend is directly related to our capacity to engage meaningfully with ourselves in the design of our own lives.

Emerging Futures and Evolution by Intention™ are powerful new frameworks within which to consider leadership and its implications for an expanded and accelerated way of making a difference.

Grounded in a WEL-Systems® context and drawing on the results from more than 15 years of profound, accelerated and generative change, you’ll be guided, invited, prodded, challenged and engaged for discovery not only of who you are but perhaps more importantly, of who you are capable of becoming.
You’ll be in the company of other women who are leaders within their organizations, their communities and their lives. Learning from each other as we go, this four-day experience will expand your network and provide access to other women ‘in the search’ to support your ongoing exploration long after you leave.
You’ll discover the implications of a Quantum Biological perspective on how we make choices, engage our strategies and manifest the results that we call living!

The Approach:

In a retreat setting – far removed from the demands of your daily life that make it impossible to see beyond the existing horizon of responsibilities – you’ll be supported in ways that nourish the body, awaken the mind and feed the soul. Your surroundings will offer you a context for relaxing and expanding your body and your mind, resulting in the creativity and innovation that come from letting go and making room for ‘more’.

In the company of others mindfully seeking this journey of discovery, your day will be filled with profound experiences and unique, facilitated conversations that will respectfully and gently press the edges of your awareness.

With real-life, real-time explorations of issues that organizational and community leaders are profoundly touched by, you’ll get new information, new ideas and new insights into how to redefine and engage more powerfully for the outcomes you intend.

With activities that invite interaction as well as those that honour introspection; with time alone and time with the group, you’ll access thoughts and intentions that have always been there and yet, have been just outside your awareness. Life expands rapidly when we become able to access those deeper states of intuition and intention that are indeed, driving the bus!

The Process:

A pre-retreat one-on-one CODE Model Coaching™ conversation with your facilitator to determine your interests, issues and concerns as you enter the retreat.

A post-retreat one-on-one CODE Model Coaching™ conversation with your facilitator approximately two weeks after the retreat to integrate new discoveries and perspectives.

A classic journal with hand-made paper, from Nepal

Optional stretch classes and body work (massage and Reiki) will be available to help you reconnect your body to your mind

Once your Emerging Futures: Women and Leadership experience is complete, ongoing access to Coaching and collective experiences will be available, as required.
