This personalised day retreat is designed to help you gain clarity, set meaningful goals, and power up your progress towards them. Through 1:1 coaching sessions, guided exercises, and reflective activities, you'll emerge feeling empowered and inspired.
The day retreat is a fully 1:1 experience and you can book your preferred day throughout the year on Thursdays or Fridays.
The retreat package includes:
- Before the retreat: 45-minute virtual consultation to discuss what you want to get out of the day and align on our focus areas.
- During the retreat: Five hours of expert coaching with moments for self-reflection and walking in the countryside. Plus, a delicious lunch, snacks and drinks.
- After the retreat: 60-minute virtual coaching session to follow up on your progress, reinforce positive changes, and discuss challenges.
- A full set of tried-and-tested coaching resources and tools for you to lean on in future
Typical agenda:
- 10-10.15: Welcome - make yourself at home in our space for the day.
- 10.15-11.30: Session one - 1:1 coaching session.
- 11.30-11.45: Break - refreshments.
- 11.45-1: Session two - walking coaching session. We'll walk along the leafy River Thames and lakeside footpaths with moments of mindfulness interspersed into our next coaching session (weather permitting).
- 1-1.30: Lunch - a healthy, balanced lunch.
- 1.30-2: Self-reflection - we'll have covered lots in our morning sessions, so this is an opportunity for some solo thinking time to process and refocus for the afternoon.
- 2-3.15: Session three - 1:1 coaching session. Depending on your goals for the retreat, we will either continue deeper work on our priority focus area or tackle a secondary topic.
- 3.15-3.30: Break - refreshments.
- 3.30-4.30: Session four - a wrap-up session to gather all your progress and ideas and channel them into clear next steps.
What can we focus on?
As a life coach, I work with my clients across a whole range of topics: from getting clear on what your next step or long-term goals look like, to making meaningful improvements to your relationships, career, confidence, or lifestyle.
In your consultation, we'll identify a couple of focus areas for us to work on during our time together. It might be that there’s something specific in your mind (e.g., considering a career transition, or achieving more balance), but don't worry if you don't feel clear on where you want to focus yet - that’s the work we can do with our day together! Coaching is a valuable space to really take stock of where you’re at and where you’d like to be heading instead.
Whatever your goals, we will spend time at the end of the retreat drawing together all your reflections, ideas and breakthroughs from the day. We’ll channel these into practical actions and next steps that feel inspiring and motivating, and use our follow-up session to check in on them.
Food
Throughout the day there will be a range of herbal teas, juice and coffee, and energising snacks. We will have a tasty and nutritious lunch to keep us fuelled up (something like a roasted vegetables, feta and quinoa salad with crusty bread). Dietary requirements will be discussed on your consultation call.
Where
My home (affectionately nicknamed The Lookout) is between Walton-on-Thames and Weybridge. Regular trains run from Waterloo to Walton-on-Thames (25 mins), and then we are a 25-minute walk or short Uber ride from the station. Free parking is available.
