At SHAPE YOUR FUTURE, we focus on more than just leadership skills. Our unique method connected key effective (personal) leadership behaviors to the four elements—water, fire, wind, and earth. This model is both powerful as well as easy-to-use. But what truly sets us apart is our emphasis on human connection. We believe that the key to a positive future, both in leadership and in the workplace, lies in deeper, more meaningful relationships. By fostering these connections during the retreat, we aim to bring this sense of unity and collaboration back to the business world, helping to create a more positive and impactful future together. We will also be building a communtity for all participants to keep growing together.
Both! We believe that effective leadership begins with self-awareness, so we combine personal development with professional leadership skills. You’ll explore your own values, patterns, and strengths while learning how to apply these insights in a business context.
We intentionally keep the group size small, with a maximum of 12 to ensure a personalized and intimate experience including coaching and personal guidance. This allows for meaningful connections with other participants and more individual attention from the facilitators.
That’s why we have an intake process! After you sign up, we’ll schedule a call to discuss your goals and make sure this retreat aligns with what you’re looking for. If it’s not a good fit, no hard feelings—we’ll point you in the right direction.
Think comfort and flexibility! We recommend to take your regular, comfortable clothes. Also, bring your jogging pants or something that you can easily do some light exercises in. And lastly: we'll be including all elements into the program (in a fun and safe way), so bring your swim wear.
Yes! Whether you’re an introvert or extrovert, the retreat is designed to create a comfortable space for everyone. There are group activities to build connections, but also plenty of time for quiet reflection and personal insights.
