A retreat day for senior women, Friday 22 January 2027
A Day to Plan Your Year
A whole day that's about you. Time away from work and home to step back, take stock and work out what you really want from 2027, and then make a plan you believe in.
You'll spend it with a small group of women who understand what your life is like, at a beautiful estate in Surrey, with coaching, good food and a spa treatment. You'll go home knowing yourself better, with a clear plan and the belief that you can make it happen. We've put a lot into making this a brilliant day, and we'd love you to be there.
Friday 22 January 2027 · Horsley Towers, Surrey · £300 · No more than 10 women
Does this sound familiar?
You might be:
- →Starting January with a full diary and no plan of your own
- →Looking after your team, your organisation and the people at home, and putting yourself last
- →Wondering what's next in your career, without the time to think it through
- →Wanting something to change this year, but not sure what or where to start
- →Saying "maybe next year" to the things you really want
Nearly every woman we talk to is stretched. You're brilliant at making things happen for other people, and your own plans get whatever time is left over. Putting yourself first can feel indulgent, so it keeps sliding down the list.
We designed this day for exactly that. We want you to feel looked after, and to have the time and space to think about your own life for once, all of it, from your career to your energy to what you want for the people you love.
What the day is about
At Leading with Possibility we believe in a healthy dose of grounded optimism. That means looking at what's possible for you before what's in your way, and questioning the way things have always been done, including the way you've always done them.
So we'll ask you some questions you probably don't ask yourself very often. What do you really want next year? What's motivating you, and what's worrying you? What would you go for if you knew it would all work out? And if other people can do it, why not you?
We'll help you get underneath the answers, so your plan is built on what you want, rather than what you think you should want or what feels allowed. A lot of the women we work with scale their ambitions down before they've even said them out loud. This is a day to say them, and to start planning how you'll get there.
This is for you if
- →You're a senior woman with a lot on, at work and at home
- →You want to decide what this year is for, before it fills up
- →You'd value a small group of women with shared experiences and different perspectives
- →You want a plan you'll act on, and someone to check in on how it's going
The support you get
- →A whole day set aside for you, away from work and home
- →Guided group work with no more than 10 women
- →A 45-minute one-to-one coaching session, focused on you and your plan
- →A workbook that becomes your personal roadmap
- →An accountability check-in at the end of March
We keep it small on purpose, so we know who you are and what you're working on. We split the group between two coaches, so everyone gets their own one-to-one time.

If you're hesitating
Lots of women tell us they'd love a day like this. Then work comes first, or family does, and it gets put off until next year.
January can be a hard month. It's cold, the excitement of Christmas is over, and the new year arrives with all its pressures. Booking now means you start 2027 with something to look forward to that's just for you, and a day that sets the tone for the rest of the year.
So we'd encourage you to book before Christmas. You can pay a £150 deposit now and the rest by 4 December. If your organisation pays for development, this is a good use of it, and we'll send them the invoice.
Questions
What if I'm not sure what I want yet?+
That's fine, and common. The morning is designed to help you work it out. You don't need to arrive with a plan.
Can my organisation pay?+
Yes. We can invoice your organisation directly. Let us know who to send it to when you book.
Can I pay in instalments?+
Yes. You can pay £300 in one go, or £150 to book your place and £150 by Friday 4 December.
Which spa treatments can I choose from?+
Indian head massage, reiki, reflexology, relaxation massage or deep tissue massage. Each one lasts 30 minutes. The spa needs to know in advance, so we'll ask you to choose when you book.
How big is the group?+
No more than 10, so everyone gets time and attention, and the conversations stay personal.
What happens after the day?+
You'll leave with a written roadmap and your first steps. We'll check in with you at the end of March to see how it's going.
