“The On Purpose Retreat completely transformed how I lead—letting go of control, empowering my team, and finally lifting the weight I thought I had to carry alone.”

 

"Attending the On Purpose Retreat was nothing short of life-changing. As an entrepreneur navigating a tough year, I arrived feeling overwhelmed, burdened, and as if I were the sole defender of my business. But what I experienced over those five days in the hills of southern Portugal completely shifted my perspective. Being immersed in nature, away from technology, and in an intimate, intentional group created an environment where time seemed to slow down.

 

Each session was carefully designed to uncover deep insights—not just about my business, but about myself. Unlike any other retreat I’ve attended, this experience blended powerful techniques and unique practices that sparked a profound internal shift.

I walked away with a renewed sense of clarity and purpose. I realised that true leadership isn’t about carrying the entire burden alone—it’s about empowering my team, holding them accountable, and trusting them with both tasks and outcomes. This shift has had a lasting impact, transforming the way I lead and setting a new standard for my business.
 

Even a year later, I still reflect on the powerful moments from this retreat. It wasn’t just a getaway—it was a recalibration of my mindset, my leadership, and my approach to life. If you're a founder or leader seeking real transformation, On Purpose Retreat is an experience you won’t want to miss."
