This retreat is designed for leaders across sectors — directors, academics, clinicians, founders, managers, practitioners, creatives.

People who have spent years supporting others, carrying responsibility, solving problems under pressure, and holding the complex needs of organisations, teams and communities.

Many leaders reach a point where the pace has been so constant that they can’t remember the last time they stepped back and looked at the bigger picture.

Midlife Leader creates that space.

We will explore questions like:

• What is important to me as a leader in midlife — and what is beginning to change?

• Is my leadership aligned with my core values? If not, what needs to shift?

• What feels meaningful now that didn’t a decade ago?

• Where do I want my energy to go in the next chapter?

Research shows that leaders in midlife often shift from achievement and pace to purpose and authenticity. Many feel a pull to lead differently, but haven’t yet had the time or space to articulate what that means.

Themes We Explore

Across the week, we look at the landscape of midlife leadership:

• the shift from the first curve of achievement to the second curve of purpose

• changing priorities, transitions, and emerging directions

• what it means to lead with values rather than momentum

• how identity, contribution, and meaning evolve in midlife

• imagining a way of leading that aligns with who you are now

• recognising what you need at this time in your life — and what may need to change

How We Work

You’ll work with two expert facilitators in a small, supportive group of peers who understand the reality of midlife leadership.

The retreat invites a considered, structured way of looking at your professional life so far — the stories you’ve carried, the decisions you’ve made, the pressures that have shaped you, and the values that are important to you.

Through reflective exercises, writing prompts, and small-group discussion, you’ll have the space to step out of the noise and reconnect with clarity, prurpose and direction.
