The Retreat | Queenstown, NZ

Build the Year Ahead

16-18 February 2027

What to Expect

Every year begins with good intentions.

Few leaders give themselves the time to pause, lift their eyes from the day-to-day and look towards the horizon before the pace of business takes over.

The Retreat creates the space to consider where you're heading, what you're building and who is coming on the journey with you.

❋ Space to Think

Time is one of the rarest resources for leaders. This retreat intentionally creates the space to step back, lift your eyes to the horizon, think strategically and make better decisions about the year ahead.

❋ Conversations that Matter

Some of the most valuable moments come from the conversations around the room. Learn alongside other ambitious business owners and leaders who are navigating similar challenges.

❋ A Clear Framework

Over two days you'll explore where you're heading, what matters most, what needs to be developed and the people, projects and rhythms that will help keep you on course throughout the year.

❋ Connection & Fun

Some of the best moments happen between the workshops. Share stories, exchange ideas, laugh together and enjoy the company of like-minded business owners and leaders who understand both the challenges and the excitement of building something meaningful.

❋ Practical Outcomes

Leave with focused priorities, practical actions and a clear roadmap that will help you navigate the year ahead with confidence.

Your Retreat Experience

Arrive at Sherwood Queenstown, settle in and connect with the group over dinner as we begin the journey together.

Tuesday | Arrive

Over two facilitated workshop days we'll work through a practical framework to help you:

  • Clarify where you're heading.

  • Identify what matters most over the next twelve months.

  • Decide what projects, people and capabilities need to be developed.

  • Build the rhythms, conversations and accountability that will help you stay on course.

You'll leave Queenstown with a clearer horizon, a practical roadmap and the confidence to navigate the year ahead with intention.
