Life and Leadership

A Chamonix-based leadership programme for women

2-6 June 2027

Why this programme?

You spend your time helping everyone else – but when do you actually think about yourself?

Through reflection, shared experience, expert-led masterclasses and coaching, this programme gives you the two things that leaders most often lack but deeply need:

  • The time and space to reflect and focus on what really matters.

  • The tools to help you lead sustainably.

Our coaches understand the unique challenges faced by women in leadership because they have had to deal with those same challenges.

Together, we will help you assess, refine and practise the behaviours that support sustained success.

Who is it for?

Our programme is for women leaders who need time to reflect, recharge and reconnect. You might be:

  • Stepping into greater responsibility

  • Facing a major life or work transition

  • Making complex decisions at pace

  • Just about getting through each day

You are curious, open to challenge and keen to learn from other leaders and experts.

The benefits to you

Our nature-based programme creates the perfect environment for you to reflect, recharge and reconnect.

Reflect

Our expert coaches create a safe and non-judgemental space for you to reflect on your own life and leadership challenges, and to learn from others.

Recharge

You will learn practical tools for sleep, movement, breathing and nutrition to enable you to take a more sustainable approach to life and leadership.

Reconnect

With space to think and renewed energy, you can reconnect with what matters most to you.

Through group and one-to-one coaching, you will turn your insights into a clear plan to realign how you live and lead.

You will also learn from the stories and experience of other inspiring women, and leave with a network of like-minded professionals to support you.

The benefits to your organisation

The demands on today’s leaders are complex and constantly changing. Yet the space we need to think and gain perspective is rarely available.

We create distance from everyday pressures to give you:

  • Uninterrupted thinking time immersed in Chamonix’s majestic alpine nature.

  • Honest and relevant feedback using science-backed tools to help you improve your personal performance.

  • Improved resilience to help you better anticipate and respond to others’ needs without depleting yourself.

  • Peer and coached challenge to sharpen your strategic thinking and your ability to generate creative solutions for organisational challenges.

  • Tools to embed a sustainable leadership style that strengthens your performance as well as that of your team and organisation.

How we spend our time

We shape the programme around the needs of the group, and each day includes movement, learning, reflection and connection. You can expect:

  • Morning breathwork and movement to start the day grounded and energised

  • Walk and talk: hikes with one-to-one and group coaching

  • A daily expert-led session on sleep, movement, breathing or nutrition

  • Leadership practice: guided exercises on presence, non-verbal communication and the neuroscience of leadership

  • Time to rest and reflect – because the best insights come in the quiet moments

What is included?

  • Online group meeting in advance

  • Accommodation for 4 nights

  • All activities, masterclasses and coaching

  • All meals from Wednesday dinner to Sunday brunch

  • Post-programme check-ins at 3 and 6 months
