Details of this retreat

You are warmly invited to reserve your place at an intimate and transformative life leadership by retreat under the Tuscan sun in Lucca, Italy.

This is an opportunty to take time out to reflect and reboot. We will consider in a small group: life's meaning and purpose, and to reconnect with your motivation and the inner capacities and qualities that can drive your transformative leadership to the next level.

We will consider together in inspiring locations throughout the city: What is my definition of success? What is our role in our families, place of work and society today? How do we relate, and build connection in ways that engenders inclusion and nudges the hearts we touch towards unity?

We will consider the role of sustainability, society building and meaningful change. In this forum we will learn and reflect on ourselves and our growth as part of the forces that are regenerating society.

Why men? because, in many ways the demands on life do not allow friendship and support to be at the core of how you lead. Whether you are early in career, a mid career executive, founder/CEO or moving into "post career" there are many "right and best" versions of ourselves. During these days of moving from knowledge to wisdom, we will reflect on and affirm previously unexplored future versions of us drawing upon the interweaving of:

Methods used Harvard/Wharton Business Schools and Stanford Design Lab, to delve into and define our personalized life designs integrating work, worship and service.

Skill building during this wellness and detox retreat for bringing out your inner strength into your fields of endeavor will include:
- Your leadership journey map - key events and learning
- Your mental model
- Leadership aspirations and goals
- Analyzing components of impact on 4 dimensions
- Personal growth and behavior mapping and goals
- Living your authentic brand
- Building your network and considering career options

We will draw from years of experience in corporate and values driven leadership and from sources of human centric knowledge and authentic models from our lives, lived experience and that of eastern and western faith traditions.

Session include solo work, mindfulness walks and serious thought on how freedom, power and ability to build community can move you as a leader in all your spheres of action (family, with neighborhood or places of enterprise). You will come out with a concept for how you want to move forward.
