Team Retreats
Empower your team in the Drakensberg mountains, or at your preferred venue...
Investing in a retreat is a meaningful way to boost your team’s performance, well-being, and overall job satisfaction.
I facilitate coaching and training retreats designed to foster individual growth, collaboration, and a stronger sense of teamwork. Drawing on years of experience, I help teams work better together, using proven coaching tools to align everyone in the same direction — productively and happily.
Set in the tranquil Drakensberg Mountains at my partnered venue, Montusi Mountain Lodge, or a location of your choice, these retreats are tailored to meet your team’s unique needs. Popular options include Making Work Work For You and Your Team and Burnout Recovery and Prevention.
Each retreat features team-building activities designed to strengthen relationships, improve communication, and create a shared vision. Through engaging exercises and challenges, your team will discover new ways to collaborate, harness hidden strengths, and build a cohesive, unified group.
Making Work Work For You and Your Team
The Making Work Work For You retreat, inspired by my book of the same name, draws on years of coaching experience to offer practical insights and easy-to-apply skills that help participants and teams thrive in their work environment.
Using the Wheel of Work as the foundation, this retreat helps individuals and teams pinpoint what is and isn’t working at work. Beyond identifying challenges, it equips participants with the tools, strategies, and resilience needed to create meaningful, lasting improvements.
A week before the retreat, each team member completes a survey to highlight key areas for growth. This feedback shapes the retreat programme, ensuring it optimises work processes, boosts productivity, and fosters a happy, balanced work environment. Together, we address common workplace challenges and introduce practical solutions to reduce stress, improve workload management, and support a healthier work-life balance.
Whether your team struggles with a lack of psychological safety, poor cohesion, relentless stress, toxic relationships, or insufficient balance, this retreat takes participants on a journey of self-discovery, insight, and empowerment — building their commitment to becoming part of the solution.
Burnout Recovery and Prevention
Burnout is becoming an increasingly common reason for resignation, especially among leaders and managers. For many, burnout becomes so debilitating that functioning — even imagining the possibility of recovery — feels out of reach. These resignations are taking a growing toll on the sustainability of organisations and the well-being of their teams.
By the time most people seek help, burnout has already progressed to a point of severe physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion. Reversing its effects can take immense time and effort. However, burnout is preventable. With the right training, individuals can learn how to avert it. Armed with the proper knowledge, tools, and practices, organisations can foster a culture that prioritises well-being, integrates healthy habits, and develops a shared commitment to sustained health and resilience.
The Burnout Recovery and Prevention retreat helps teams build a shared understanding of burnout — its causes, effects, and solutions — using a compassionate and accessible framework. It equips participants with essential concepts and tools to manage and prevent burnout in a sustainable and proactive way. Through the retreat, teams will:
- Recognise and understand the systemic nature of burnout and its impact — physically, emotionally, mentally, relationally, and spiritually.
- Identify key symptoms and root causes of burnout.
- Learn simple yet effective tools to manage burnout, reduce overwhelm, and build resilience.
- Develop strategies to manage time and energy wisely for sustainable well-being.
This retreat empowers individuals and teams to create healthier, more balanced ways of working — building the resilience needed to thrive both personally and professionally.
Montusi Mountain Lodge
I have partnered with Montusi Mountain Lodge, a 4-star hotel in the Northern Drakensberg.
A four-hour drive from Johannesburg, with breathtaking views, comfortable accommodations, and magnificent food, this location offers the perfect environment for reflection, growth, and learning at affordable rates.
The activities on offer at Montusi include horse riding, horse connection experiences, guided walks and hikes in the beautiful Drakensberg mountains, quad biking and zip-lining. Any or all of these activities can be built into the retreat programme.



If you have a specific location in mind, I am flexible and can bring my programmes to a venue of your choice.
