Testimonials
This is what some of the delegates said about the ‘Unleash your potential – retreat for professional growth’ May 2025
“ I recently had the pleasure of attending a retreat in the Lake District—and what an incredible experience it was. A huge thank you to Cathy for choosing such a breathtaking venue and for curating a weekend that was not only beautifully organised but also left me very excited about the new challenges I had ahead with a new job I was soon starting The retreat brought together a fantastic mix of people, all of whom contributed meaningfully to the business sessions. The energy, collaboration, and shared insight made the entire experience truly special. The content was thoughtfully designed and delivered, leaving me feeling inspired and full of fresh ideas. Cathy, thank you for creating such a powerful and memorable experience. I’ve come away with valuable tools and perspectives that I’m excited to put into practice. If you’re looking to sharpen your skills, connect with like-minded individuals, and immerse yourself in an inspiring environment, I couldn’t recommend this retreat more highly.”
“As a design entrepreneur I have often struggled with limiting beliefs and strategic planning, so a retreat for professional growth was an ideal opportunity for me to build some new skills. Working with Cathy simplified everything. She spoke about ways to identify and focus on issues in a way that made sense and gave me tangible methods to change the way I viewed things. What stood out for me was her easy but authoritative way she has to get her inspiring message across to her audience. I thoroughly recommend talking to Cathy, especially if you are a woman at a turning point in your career.”
“Beautiful setting on the shores of Lake Windermere for the Women’s Career retreat focused on "Reaching your Full Potential". I have recently retired and having worked in the Finance industry for the last 30+ years, I needed to get some clarity on the next chapter. The retreat enabled me to reflect on my past career achievements and to acknowledge that life does not end when you retire. The retreat is well structured into bite sized chapters allowing time to reflect on your goals and to re-frame your narrative, with useful tools to help identify limiting beliefs and to give you confidence to create a plan of action.”
