This offsite program is thought for Team Leaders & High Potential Managers. Whether you're spearheading teams, working cross-functionally, or are on the rise as a future people manager, if your success hinges on effective collaboration, communication, and teamwork, our generative leadership programs in nature are tailored for you.
The program is run by a Certified IMD Coach & ICF Member (International Coaching Federation) and includes:
Arrive in Val de Bagnes, Switzerland by 17:30 local time. If you choose to arrive by car, there is a free parking space nearby. Alternatively, you can conveniently travel by train. We can organize a taxi service if needed (not included in our rate).
Check-out is by 10 am the latest on the last day.
Each day begins with a meditation session, inspired by the likes of Sam Harris and Marina Abramovic. These sessions are crafted to go beyond mere relaxation; they are exercises in willpower, attention, and gratitude. The workshops that follow, focusing on personal values and introspection, eschew conventional methods like vision boards. Instead, participants create an art gallery of the unconscious, allowing for a deeper and more varied exploration of emotions and experiences.
Every day there is an outdoor moment in Nature. Nature is there not only to be seen but also to be experienced and it offers a unique medium to reconnect with ourselves, by reconnecting with her. The first thing people recognize in Nature is its pace. In Nature, nothing is rushed and nothing is still, but everything moves. By moving at the speed of Nature we become more aware of our body sensations, such as thirst and hunger, but also we become more aware of our role in Nature. As we walk, hike, and breathe in Nature we engage in a few practices that focus on introspection, group dynamics, or teamwork. As we return to our chalet, everybody is sufficiently tired to enjoy personal care, resting, journaling, or taking advantage of the facilities. We often have a Sauna or an outdoor hot tub in our places, and that's also a bonding moment for people to reflect on the day.
Post-dinner, our activities are designed to challenge norms and comfort zones while also providing moments of cozy, hygge reflection. Whether it's an outdoor activity in the darkness or a gathering by the chalet fireplace, these experiences serve as catalysts for deeper conversations and bonding.
The retreat concludes with a powerful session where participants distill their insights into concrete action plans, and stimulate their unconscious self to reveal their inner motivations. This final group huddle is not just a summary of learnings but a launchpad for future growth and change where participants work on their detailed action plan. The feedback from participants is a testament to the retreat's impact: over 80% find immense value in the workshops and meditation sessions, and more than 95% are extremely or very satisfied with the accommodations and group facilitation practices.
We offer a carefully selected dinner vegetarian menu, of three courses including desserts, and we can cater to specific dietary requirements such as vegan or gluten free.
We serve a continental buffet breakfast that varies every day, with a selection of bread, pastries, omelets, pancakes, yogurt, and muesli.
Our lunches are health conscious and balanced pic nic style packed lunches that we consume outdoors if the weather allows, according to the schedule of our activities.

I wanted to share a bit about my recent 3-days leadership retreat in the Alps, which turned out to be quite an eye-opening experience. Those three days were filled with many "firsts" for me, and they've left a lasting impression.
I endorse Cesare’s leadership coaching skills: he made us realize the worth of meditation in both personal and professional life, slow walking, controlled breathing, simple but effective techniques helped me to relax and be more productive at the same time.
