What we do

We work with our clients to design exciting and high-value retreats, away days and follow-up work to integrate what is achieved in person. We take care of the research and production heavy lifting and involve you in the creative process as much or as little as you like.

    • We work with our key stakeholders to translate goals and team needs into desired outcomes for your time together

    • We co-create a theme that will help us find the most exciting keynote speakers, activity and entertainment suppliers

    • We share amazing hand-picked venues that work for your team size and needs

    • We project-manage logistics in the run-up (dietary requirements and menu options, travel, sleeping arrangements etc…)

    • We handle any additional infrastructure, e.g. Giant tipis for workshops, catering tent & equipment, loos and showers if needed, clean and grey water solutions etc…

    • We facilitate strategically selected workshops during the retreat

    • We work with the most inspiring suppliers to tailor their offerings to your retreat theme and aspirations (think chefs who cook on open fires, yoga, calisthenics, movement & breathwork teachers, saunas on wheels, ceramicists, circus school, ceilidh callers, DJs, live bands …)

    • We manage photography and videography of your event which can be used for talent acquisition or marketing purposes

    • We ALWAYS bring you a little bit extra delight & magic

    • We take care of the clean-up

    • We share any takeaways or actions from workshops

    • We gather feedback and deliver a synthesis so the next experience can be even more special and customised to your team’s preferences

We can save you one month of burn through boost in moral, better communication, better teamwork and clearer alignment.

Leadership retreats

With Sam’s expertise in leadership coaching, we bring exec and management teams together to work through some of the biggest challenges arising in the business and within group dynamics.

We offer a number of workshops built on tried and tested methodologies to help set team direction and manage change;

  • Mission, Vision, Purpose

  • Objective and Key Result (OKR) training and implementation support

  • Facilitating team goal setting and strategy

  • Teamwork efficiency and high performance programmes

  • Values & behaviours workshop

  • Facilitation and mediation for execs / management teams

  • Management training for top managers

Leadership retreats tend to have a higher focus on setting or checking-in on goals and problem-solving with the businesses’ key stakeholders. However, it’s also really important to balance the strategic work with activities that will help everyone recharge their batteries.

“I have been blown away by how powerful the human element is around Sam’s teamwork facilitation. He’s enabled us to regroup, come together, connect in a really meaningful way and plan for the future in an incredible way.”
Matt Holmes, Global head of the shoe innovation team, NIKE

Whole-company retreats

We approach the art of gathering with vigour. We have hosted groups of 20 - 150, and as numbers vary, so does the design of a retreat. No two experiences are the same. We work closely with you to understand your values, team personality profile and what your people are most in need of.

Experiences are customised, but are unequivocally underpinned by 5 key principles;

  • We create a space that allows for your team to connect to one another

  • We provide exciting opportunities for individuals to connect to themselves and get out of their heads

  • We offer up diverse and fun options for everyone on the team and take into account different personality types

  • We facilitate new learning opportunities and encourage a growth mindset

  • We get everyone re-aligned and re-energised around the organisation’s mission

Get in touch if you want to create a uniquely memorable experience as a team and you want to work with experts in retreat production, cognitive behavioural science enthusiasts and all around great hosts who can help you set the tone for authentic connection with your team.

“MASSIVE MASSIVE congrats to the organizing team for pulling off a one in a million event that will be remembered forever. Perfection from start to finish - a true embodiment of us as a company, and group of people trying to change the world for the better, and have fun whilst doing it! You ROCK :)”
Tessa Clarke, Co-founder and CEO of Olio, series B company

Individual workshops

As well as programmes, we deliver one-off workshops that can hugely boost your team in terms of moral and development. At your event or conference, we can deliver;

  • Feedback training (this is powerful for leaders, managers and anyone who wants to positively engage in feedback culture)

  • Coaching for leadership (helping your top managers and HR leads develop their communication skills and tools used to reveal blind spots and create more self-awareness within oneself)

  • Talks on topics like the science of happiness, how to foster high performing teams based on extensive and powerful research

“Sam’s science of happiness talk had rave reviews and the following sharing group exercises enabled people to really open up, laugh, cry and get to know each other and bond in new ways. The personality icebreaker was really fun and got people to reflect on our diversity of character and the fact we are always stronger together.

Honestly it was brilliant, we’ll work with Sam & Maya again, and if it sounds too good to be true - well, it’s not!”
Saasha, COO, Olio
