Do you want to work on your personal and professional development in an inspiring setting? Join our high impact Personal leadership retreat. In this one week program, you will work intensively on your personal growth and leadership skills in both a group setting and with one-on-one coaching sessions.

Personal leadership implies that you can manage your life and fulfill your ambitions both at work and in your private life. It means you can take responsibility for what comes your way and that you know how to relate to whatever comes your way in a constructive manner. It also requires you to deepen your self-knowledge, give shape to your personal vision, values and qualities as well as becoming aware of your pitfalls and counterproductive behavior. Moreover it requires that you are willing to work on these issues and develop skills that you can apply directly into your daily life.
