RESET: Find Your Voice, Find Yourself - The Retreat

A 3 day, intensive, facilitated, LEADERSHIP retreat to help YOU FIND YOUR INNER LEADERS VOICE and equip you with the tools to put it into action.

17-19 June 2024 - Florence House, East Sussex

 
 

A RETREAT FOR YOU IF..

  • You need to get more comfortable in front of people - speaking and being confident in delivering your message

  • You’ve moved into a new role - imposter syndrome is holding you back from leading effectively

  • You get anxious when having to formally present, speak or be exposed - you want to feel confident in this space

  • You need a fully developed, bespoke toolkit to present confidently where it matters

 
 

WHAT TRIGGERS THE NEED TO SHOW UP DIFFERENTLY?

Sometimes there comes a time where enough is enough and it’s time to take the step to feel heard. This can show up as:

  • Feeling you’ve ‘had enough' - I’m not feeling heard

  • A big event, promotion or change in circumstance may have brought about a realisation you need step into a stronger voice

  • Maturity and wisdom can trigger develop yourself further and speak up more

  • You may have seen others go through this process and come out the other side stronger

 

Curious about if this is the right retreat for you?

Get in touch and we’ll help answer any questions you have about the retreat.

 

Testimonials

From participants at the last Reset Retreat ( in November 2023 )

 

  • A huge thank you to Matt - for sharing his knowledge; for giving us the space to explore. For holding space for us when it felt uncomfortable; for your encouragement; your enthusiasm. For allowing us to be; no pressure but gently guiding us.

    Also, Hansa wrote some kind words about the retreat on her linked in page here : https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7130902104138752000/

  • This was an amazing retreat ! Everyone should do it. We all have moments when we need to express ourselves and be heard, and this retreat absolutely gives you the tools to do this more effectively and authentically.

    The combination of wonderful kind and caring people who know what they’re doing and excellent food and surroundings is just what we all need to reset ourselves. The yoga, massages and the meditations in a beautiful yurt just completed the feeling of being on a true retreat. The coaching for public speaking, with the inclusion of story telling to facilitate the framework was just superb!

    I have now changed the way I deliver my talks and are already making a difference to my audience but most importantly to me !

    Huge thanks to Matt and his amazing team.

  • Matt has an effortless way of bringing people together to help them understand that they're not the only ones who experience anxiety and confidence issues with public speaking.

    This, combined with helping people find their own voice and style and to feel confident in themselves is what made this retreat so special.

  • Embarking on this retreat I was a ball of anxiety and fear for my upcoming public speaking engagement. Arriving to meet lovely people, in a wonderful setting was great. The workshops were fantastic and Matt truly provided me with the skills and motivation to change my mindset and boost my confidence.

    My talk at Olympia in London was a massive success with people coming up to me afterwards telling me how great it was. I couldn't of done it without Matt and the team! Thank you so much for your support! I would highly recommend.

 
 
 

THE JOURNEY WE’LL GO ON

Facilitated by Matt and a small, professional team, we will help you:

  • Identify and give space to the root causes of what holds us back from speaking up

  • Expand out from this space into the possibilities of a different way of expressing and leading ourselves

  • Learn how to speak from the body and heart - in sync with our intention, rather than being interrupted by the mind

  • Develop a toolkit for storytelling, preparation, mind and body approach and a framework for the future

  • Practise speaking up, presenting authentically and creating an action plan for when you leave

 
 

Our Small, Professional Team

 

Matt Matheson

As your lead, I’m a public speaking and communications coach, hailing from Brighton, UK.

Working with clients ranging from The World Health Organisation and the EBRD through to O2 and Virgin, I specialise in helping people say what they need to say when it matters most.

Throughout the retreat I’ll be running the core coaching circles, helping you connect with your voice, your body and you message - then i’ll show you how to put it into action back out in the real world and equip you with a toolkit to do so.

Adam Hender

As a Mindfulness Coach, I’m here to coach Mental Fitness habits: simple awareness skills, mindsets, attitudes to allow positive momentum in our daily experience.

Allowing enjoyment and productivity.

Rewiring our brain with repetition in a similar way to training the body in a gym.

Using simple exercises to: energise aspects of our life that we can control, navigate our emotions, and allow effective action.

Balancing the activity in the brain and nervous system.

Allowing us to recover from challenges, make effective decisions, and boost our overall performance.

Zoe Boarer-Pitman

As your yoga teacher for this retreat my intention is to encourage your nervous system to rest. We will do this by making the brain/body/breath connection. With gentle breath and soothing movement we can bring the mind to settle, allowing the deeper digestion to take place without deliberate thought. Leaving you feeling more grounded and calm.

As your massage therapist for this retreat I will work with you to facilitate a deeper connection to your body. We will breathe into blockages within the body, creating flow and embodied relief. This will allow your body to release physical stress, tension, and old patterns. Bringing new possibilities to light.

Frances Fogel / Khalastchi

You are sitting on a “goldmine” of stories.

On this retreat, I’ll be working with you to explore different narratives and work with them better - for yourself, your company Brand, your People, Customers and Communities.

I’ve been working with storytelling and narrative for over 20 years - informed by Theatre, Art & Design, Literature, Psychotherapy, Cultural Theory, Marketing and Communications.

On this retreat we will be getting creative, personal, proud and confident about our heritage, and future.
