What if there’s something more waiting for you — not just for your clients, but for you as a coach?

Every day, you create space for others to grow, reflect, and lead with intention.
This retreat is a rare chance to create that space for yourself.

 

Restore. Explore. Expand. is a two-night immersive experience designed for executive coaches who want to step out of delivery mode, reconnect with what matters, and return home with renewed energy, fresh perspective, and a stronger sense of community.

 

Set against the backdrop of Grace Winery, you’ll experience a thoughtful blend of reflection, learning, and connection in a small group of peers who understand the unique privilege (and weight) of this work.

Testimonials

I can’t tell you how much better I feel about everything whenever I walk out of a session with my executive coach. Challenges that seemed hard just fall away, and I walk out with a sense of purpose and possibility.

Executive Coaching Client

Stephanie is an excellent executive coach, engaging and sensitive, enabling you to peel your layers and be the New You.

Executive Coaching Client

My executive coach challenged my negative thinking and habits, helped me to visualize my future, and guided me to increase my self-confidence. She was extremely compassionate yet direct and thoughtful in her approach. I found her coaching style to be authentic, non-judgemental, and highly effective.

Executive Coaching Client

I have worked with a few different coaches, but none have held a candle to my executive coach’s ability to connect, create a safe space, and successfully hold the mirror to reflect back the essence of what I was saying. She was especially gifted at digging out what was beneath the surface of my words. […]

Executive Coaching Client

My overall experience from the retreat was powerful and so well timed. I’m walking away feeling a renewed sense of peace, lightness and confidence to co-create the next chapter.

Lauren Wingard

I would describe my overall experience of the retreat as rewarding. I came in really having no idea what to expect and came away feeling the “re-boot” I didn’t know I needed. The unfamiliarity with everyone was better than I ever would have imagined.

Rebecca Lovan

This truly was an incredible experience. The attention to detail does not go unnoticed! I feel prepared and inspired to bring back home every positive nuance I learned.

Kathy Mitrakis

It was so refreshing to engage and connect to other coaches and see the differences yet similarities in all of us and feel supported and loved through it all. There was no comparison on judgement and we were given the space to be who we are meant to be.

  • Coaching a newly promoted General Manager of Mexico at a major pharmaceutical organization. Coaching was intended to ensure a smooth transition from a previous international assignment. The engagement focused on self-awareness, leadership brand, emotional discipline, and the development and implementation of a “first 90 days” action plan. As a result of this coaching experience, the Client reported that this was the smoothest transition he ever experienced and provided skills to manage personal stress and pressure related to the move.
  • Coached a Vice President of Medical Development at a major pharmaceutical organization who was tasked with restructuring the organization to increase productivity and reduce costs. Through the engagement, Patrick and the Client progressed from resolving the original coaching objectives to a deeper level of discussion to identify and resolve long-held limiting beliefs. In addition, they co-developed strategies to increase the Client’s resilience through mindfulness and increased self-awareness.
  • Patrick coached a Director of Manufacturing at a major pharmaceutical organization who was invited to join a newly formed site leadership team. Coaching initially helped this Client to clarify his role on the team, identify how to leverage his value, and strategize how to communicate with the new Executive. As a result of coaching, the Client self-reported that he found it easier to manage emotional responses; the Executive shared that he was impressed by the Client’s courage to change and felt that his new leadership style had become an example for other leaders. As a true outcome of success, Patrick was later asked to provide coaching for a second member of the leadership team.
