Authentic You Retreat – Courtenay, Vancouver Island

Are you feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, unsure about your next steps? Are you wanting to increase your impact, your capacity and ability as a leader? Are you simply wanting to unplug, unwind and reflect for a few days? This two and a half day/two-night retreat is tailored specifically to meet YOUR needs, to allow you time, space and guidance to more fully access your authentic self. It is from this grounded place of knowing that you can make more informed, empowered personal and professional decisions and lead more effectively.

“Working with Laura is a gift - when I reached out about a one-on-one retreat with her I did not know what the content was. I just knew I wanted to be in her presence for two and a half days to have her hold space and facilitate my exploration and inquiry of my life. Using the authentic leadership tools as a structure, we deviated and weaved a journey together that went beyond my expectations. She nurtures while challenges, provides guidance and space, insight and perspective. I am so grateful for this experience as I continue to unpack and incorporate the knowledge gained through our time together.”

“At the age of 60, I found myself at a profoundly challenging crossroads. Unexpectedly retired, widowed and facing a serious health issue, I felt overwhelmed by the decisions I needed to make about my future. How should I be moving forward? Laura’s Authentic You workshop helped me forge a path through all the noise and confusion. She guided me through the obstacles I had placed in front of myself with wisdom and grace. The discoveries were my own but I couldn’t have made them without her.”
