Personal Leadership
A 3-day immersive personal leadership training in nature for professionals ready to step out of autopilot and take charge of their career and personal life.
Practical, honest, and deeply personal. This program helps you clarify what matters most, let go of what holds you back, and return with focus, confidence, and a concrete plan to move forward at work and beyond. The Personal Leadership training is about learning to lead yourself, not others. It’s the foundation for making conscious choices, setting boundaries, and aligning your actions with what truly matters to you in both your career and personal life.
This 3-day program combines the power of nature, reflective exercises, and group dialogue to help you:
- Gain clarity on your core values and what you want from life
- Identify self-sabotaging patterns and limiting beliefs
- Set boundaries and take ownership of your choices
- Translate insights into concrete actions
The natural setting creates calm and perspective, while the small group (maximum 10 participants) provides connection and inspiration. This is more than a course. It’s a reset that helps you step out of autopilot and take charge of your own path.
What you’ll learn
Deepen Self-Awareness
Understanding who you are is the foundation of personal leadership. Through reflection and exercises, you’ll gain clarity on your values, strengths, and what drives you.
Identify Self-Sabotaging Patterns
We all have mental patterns and limiting beliefs that hold us back. You’ll learn to recognize these patterns and develop strategies to shift them.
Set Healthy Boundaries
Learn to say no without guilt, protect your energy, and create space for what truly matters. Boundary-setting is essential for sustainable effectiveness.
Take Ownership of Your Choices
Stop living on autopilot. This training helps you take full responsibility for your choices and align your actions with your values.
Strengthen Self-Management
Discover what drains or energizes you, and learn practical strategies for energy management, self-care, and resilience.
Transform Goals into Action
Turn vague aspirations into concrete, meaningful steps. You’ll leave with a clear action plan for both your career and personal life.
Navigate Setbacks with Resilience
Life doesn’t go according to plan. Learn to handle setbacks, practice self-compassion, and maintain momentum despite challenges.
Live from Your Personal Compass
The ultimate goal: making decisions guided by your own values and purpose, not others’ expectations or societal pressure. Take charge of your own life.

I rank the Personal Leadership training as the most surprising I’ve had in my professional career. It was smart, fun and packed with activities. There is time to discuss, reflect, walk and we were presented with effective strategies to improve.
It’s the way learning is mixed outside activities, fun, self reflection, unexpected twists and very practical tools that makes it special.
This training helps you to reflect and prioritise on what’s important to you. It’s interactive throughout the program.
Why it works
Nature as catalyst for change. Research shows that nature-based training programs foster authentic personal development with lasting effects. The natural setting helps you disconnect from daily demands and stress and reconnect with what matters to you.
Small group, big impact. With a maximum of 10 participants, there’s space for everyone’s voice and story. The group provides diverse perspectives, honest feedback, and mutual support.
Practical approach, not just theory. We use theory as a foundation or a framework, not as a goal. Every theoretical concept translates into practical tools and concrete actions you can implement immediately.
Follow-up for sustainable change. The 3-week follow-up day ensures your insights don’t fade. We review progress, troubleshoot challenges, and refine your action plan.

FAQ
What makes this different from other personal leadership training programs? This personal leadership training is not focused on purely gaining self-awareness for the hell of it. We want to make sure you can take action and steer your life in the right direction. The program is open with lots of room to discuss, reflect and have time to digest insights and learning. The location provides the perfect condition to step back and slow down.
Do I need leadership experience to join? No. This training is about personal leadership (leading yourself and taking charge of your own life), not leadership in the organisational sense (managing or leading others). It isn’t relevant whether you lead a team or not.
What if I can’t attend the follow-up day? It’s required that you are available for all training days.
Is accommodation included? Yes, the 2-day retreat includes overnight accommodation, meals, and all training materials.
Can I bring colleagues? Yes, of course! We do try to mix participants from different organizations to ensure diverse perspectives and honest dialogue.
