Confidence from Within
Confidence from Within
1:1 Private Retreat
1:1 Private Retreat
There is no better feeling than being completely comfortable with who you are.
When we are able to be truly ourselves in every situation we face, life is as easy as breathing. Work situations, social events and family interactions become effortless and deeply enjoyable, without the need to overthink or overanalyse.
And with inner confidence comes an inner aliveness that radiates out in a subtle, yet beautiful demonstration of acceptance and self love that can only be found within.
Would you like to be guided to that place?
Because this one to one retreat provides the space and guidance to explore the principles behind all human experience. This profound understanding has the power to transform the way you are at work, how you show up to your family and friends, your love of life and your connection to yourself.
Living from Alignment of Head, Heart and Spirit
Life can be so confusing when you aren't aligned. You think we know what you want, but then your feelings let you down when you most need to feel sure and certain. You want to feel stronger and more self-assured, but even that feels like hard work as the more you try to think your way out of problems, the more complicated they seem to be.
The truth is, when challenges look complicated and you are running in mental circles, there is a key ingredient; a simplicity that is often missed, but once realised will prevent you from spending years ruminating or looking in the wrong place.
This is the same ingredient that brings harmony and clarity of mind. But people often talk of this without a deep sense of what it really means, or appreciating the profound impact inner alignment can have on your future, your career and your life.
This three day retreat focuses solely on this ingredient and how to bring yourself fully to everything you do, with observable and life changing results
"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes,
but in having new eyes."
Marcel Proust
Practical Confidence, Profound Results
Embracing Authenticity
Confidence can be easily faked, but true confidence comes from being deeply authentic rather than creating an illusion that we want others to see when they look at us. When you are being who you truly are – without needing any form of validation or approval from others, you have a foundation of deep-seated, unshakeable confidence and power from within.
Inner Strength from Self-Acceptance
Confidence flows when we stop judging and start enjoying ourselves. Through self-compassion you will be building a loving relationship with yourself far beyond judgment or criticism. By accepting both your strengths and imperfections you create a real foundation for lasting confidence and inner peace, so high level meetings or social situations will be met with strength, openness and clarity of mind.
Releasing Self-imposed Limitations
What you believe about yourself shapes your reality, your potential and your confidence. By identifying and releasing the false stories and limitations you have unknowingly integrated into yourself, you can start to connect with a deeper essence of you that will empower you to take bold action and step into the fullness of yourself.
Living Confidently: What This Retreat Delivers
Clarity in Personal and Professional Decisions
Decision making becomes clearer and more intuitive when you are grounded in yourself. Confidence follows when you have faith in your inner-knowing and make choices that align with your values and purpose, rather than from self-doubt or fear of failure.
Courage to Take Action
Confidence isn’t about always feeling bullet-proof - it’s the force that allows you act in spite of being afraid or uncertain about the path. This retreat will help you develop the courage to step forward with conviction knowing every choice you make is infused with deep self trust and confidence that flows from within.
Building Deep Resilience
Life will throw challenges at you and true confidence from within allows you to face them with strength, rather than any need to seek acceptance or recognition from others. As you deepen trust in your inner wisdom, you will bounce back from setbacks and stand firm in the knowledge that your worth is never in question and you can handle anything that comes along.
Embody Calm in the Midst of Chaos
Confidence doesn't come though the absence of life challenges - it's present in spite of them. As you learning to stay grounded and focused you’ll embody confidence that remains unwavering even in the most chaotic of times, as you know how to stay calm in the middle of them.
How The Retreat Works
The Preparation
We want you to get the most out of your time with us, as this is not your average executive retreat, so please work with us to tailor this to you as much as is helpful.
- We’ll start with a zoom call to get to know each other and understand your greatest opportunities that will make the biggest difference to your career and life overall.
- You will then have access to the Elite Academy of Development and Wellbeing resource library so you can begin exploring as soon as you wish.
Arrival
- Arrive at Upper Barns on Tuesday evening and check to your private suite.
- Upper Barns is located in rural North Essex, within easy access from London.
Your Suite
- Kingside bedroom with en-suite shower room
- Private lounge including TV with access to our online Academy meditations and resources.
- Private kitchen for you to cater for yourself (Or we can recommend places to eat out if you prefer.)

- We strenuously recommend you do NOT bring work with you, because your work will benefit from having you take a step back.
- On Friday, head home at your leisure after your morning coaching session, ready to fully integrate everything you have discovered.
The Continuation
Integration and application is fundamental, ensuring your experience doesn't end when the retreat does.
We will get together for two further coaching sessions by zoom to:
- Explore what has changed since the retreat, and what you see differently.
- What further implications this may have: Can you apply this to areas you are not currently noticing? What blind spots can we bring to light?
- What challenges this is posing for you and what will help you to move beyond this.
- How we can deepen this understanding in the weeks that follow.
