We’ll cover everything from getting clear on who you are as a leader—your strengths, blind spots, and what truly drives you—to building better relationships with your team and peers, learning how to communicate and lead with trust. You’ll also think bigger about your impact, aligning your personal values with the future you want to create. And of course, we’ll take time to reflect, process, and map out next steps, so you walk away with real clarity. Expect deep conversations, hands-on workshops, time in nature, and space to just be, breathe and think!
You'll walk away with clarity on your leadership style, practical strategies to lead yourself and others better, and a stronger sense of emotional intelligence for handling tough leadership moments. More than that, you’ll journey with like-minded founders, have space to think about your bigger vision, and leave with a clear plan to put your insights into action.
It gives you the chance to step back, reflect, and reset, away from the daily grind. You’ll get fresh perspectives, learn from experienced founders, and work through real leadership challenges—whether that’s overcoming limiting beliefs, managing a team, or figuring out how to scale your impact. Plus, it’s designed to be immersive, so you’ll not just learn, but actually experience personal growth.
You’ll be surrounded by founders who are ambitious, curious, and eager to grow—not just their businesses, but themselves as leaders. They come from different industries, but all share similar struggles and figuring things out. It’s a space where you can have honest conversations, learn from each other, and build meaningful relationships that last beyond the retreat.
Nope, it’s not all just deep work! While there are definitely introspective sessions and thought-provoking discussions, the retreat is designed to be a balanced mix of reflection, connection, and fun. You'll have casual bonding moments, outdoor experiences, and time to just unwind—whether it’s on a casual hike, around a campfire, or over relaxed meals with fellow founders. It’s about stepping away from the grind, recharging, and gaining fresh perspectives, not just sitting in deep work all day.
The retreat begins on June 20th at 1:00 PM and ends on June 23rd at 12:00 PM. Plan to arrive by noon on June 20th and depart after the closing ceremony on June 23rd.
