Modern Problem, Ancient Solution

Retreats are a tradition as old as time. And, they are urgently needed now to help leaders find the renewal, inspiration and meaning they seek. Potential Project offers immersive retreats to individuals and teams who are eager and ready to break old patterns and try new ways of working and leading from within.

Unwind,
Disconnect and
Discover

Have you ever wondered how to connect more deeply with your purpose or wanted a bold plan to bring it to life? Do you want to strengthen the levels of trust and cohesion within your leadership team?

Join a Potential Project leadership retreat and discover what makes you feel meaningful in the world and your organization. Or join your colleagues on a journey to discover your individual and shared potential. A unique combination of skillful silence, provocative experiences, and guided reflection connects you to a deeper sense of self and awareness of the habits and behaviors that no longer serve you.

As the foremost expert in inner leadership, Potential Project’s leadership retreats are based on ground-breaking leadership research, including assessments of more than 35,000 leaders, work with over 500 organizations, and interviews with 250 C-level executives.

Potential Project’s leadership retreats are day-long or multi-day offsites led by our most experienced facilitators and experts in inner transformation. Set in beautiful locations, the retreats allow you to step away from your packed days and daily pressures and into the beauty of nature. With open space, you will relax into a deeper discovery of the more human leader within you.

If you are ready to look inward, to learn about yourself, and to change what’s not working, we invite you to a truly unique experience.

The Human Leader Report

the human leader edition 5 thumbnail

Retreats are an integral practice in many religions and in yoga, meditation, and well-being communities. Why have they endured and why are they relevant and critical for leaders now?

In the latest edition of The Human Leader, we explain the key elements of our immersive retreats and the three specific shifts that occur from a leader’s "normal state” to what we call an “immersive state”. It’s when a leader is in this immersive state that questions of well-being, purpose and meaning are ready to be tackled.

Our Immersives

There is clarity that arises when we step outside of our daily lives, when we put down our devices and welcome silence, when we turn away from to-do lists and tune into the world around us. When we stop, slow down and just be, answers emerge.

Upcoming Leadership Retreats

Today, senior leaders face unprecedented demands to deliver results and lead with purpose, care, and bold action on complex issues.  It is easy to lose oneself amidst the never-ending cycle of busyness and firefighting. With employee engagement on the wane, it is even more imperative for leaders to break free from relentless distractions and gain clarity on the essential elements that define impactful leadership – awareness, wisdom, and compassion. 

Embark on a unique journey at an upcoming leadership retreat and delve into the profound concept of essential leadership.

Our Principles

Our retreats are built around a few core tenets that underpin the design of the experience.

Device-Free

An important part of the retreat is disconnecting from everyday life and turning inward. Without digital devices, distraction turns to focus, and constant doing melts into just being.

In Nature

When we step into a quiet environment of natural beauty, our mind becomes alert. Our usual habits and behaviors are replaced with awareness, awe, and a greater sense of ourselves moving through the world.

Space and Silence

The retreats are a carefully curated combination of silence, powerful experiences, and guided reflections so that you can discover what truly matters in your life. Conversations with others is limited so calm and clarity can emerge from within.

Participant Feedback

You have no idea how you have impacted my life. For me, it was one of the most enlightening experiences of my life. I am a different person altogether. I am better father, husband, son, friend, colleague, and leader after this experience. You have helped me through one of the most difficult phases of my life.
I strongly believe that courageous leaders need to be first and foremost fully aware of themselves. Psychological security – which matters most for high performing teams – has at least two sides, one is within the team but the other one is with yourself. This Immersive brought me to that level and, with the strong purpose I’ve identified during that journey, I am absolutely sure that I will be a more courageous person and leader and offer the psychological safety to face my fears and the team's fears.
For me, this was a deep and extremely valuable experience that not only left me mentally and physically renewed, but also gave me invaluable insights into my self as a leader, my purpose and my values. This enables me to even more courageously engage and drive our transformation to meet the challenges and seize the great opportunities that lie ahead of us.
