Waypoint.

A retreat for experienced leaders on how to live and lead from purpose

Living, working, and leading from purpose has a powerful impact on the leader and those around them, as research has shown. For the leader, purpose brings direction, opportunity, energy, resilience, and meaning. For those around them, a purposeful leader inspires, motivates, and engages in a way that stimulates learning and generates outstanding performance. For organisations, purpose driven leaders deliver sustainable results and enable transformation.

Why Waypoint

These retreats enable experienced leaders and professionals from all walks of life and backgrounds to discover their own purpose, and then to use it to fuel their leadership.  The retreats are a unique opportunity to learn, with deeply experienced facilitators, how to embody purpose in both life and work, and create a clear vision of how to make the difference they want to in the world.

What?

Waypoint is a three-day residential retreat, with coaching before and after, designed to create lasting impact. It offers a range of powerful experiences, designed to enable participants to look in fresh and new ways at themselves and how they operate. Rooted in evidence-based practices as well as a deep experience of business and organisations, Waypoint offers a deep and personal opportunity for leaders to explore three critical abilities:

Purpose – what motivates us, what is most meaningful to us, our unique way of bringing value to we do and who we meet. It shapes the legacy we want to make in the world.

Personal Mastery – deeply understanding the different parts of ourselves, our strengths and talents, as well as our shadows or blockers. It is the skill to unlock our under-used powers, integrate them and bringing our best selves to life and work.

Presence – our ability to connect deeply to the people and situations around us as well as to our internal world. Bringing a positive presence unlocks curiosity, creativity and learning in ourselves and those we lead.

Designed as a deep dive, the retreat engages the whole leader, harnessing their emotional, cognitive, and intuitive insight to uncover what really matters to them, as well the impact they want to have in the world.  Through reflection, storytelling, immersion in the natural world, small group coaching, peer support, shadow work, movement and deep contemplative practices, leaders will explore the patterns of thought and behaviour which help and hinder their leadership, as well as their motivations and values. Waypoint is an opportunity for lasting change.

    • Inspire followership and engagement
