Introducing The Pivot Retreat

A 3-day immersive journey to reset your direction and reclaim your momentum.

At The Pivot, we empower people to move beyond self-doubt, overthinking and uncertainty, and towards their future.

An uncommon retreat: this is not time out, but time in.

We take you through the full Pivot Programme, with space to think, expert guidance, supportive facilitation, and time to turn insight into decisions. You’ll leave inspired and equipped with a renewed sense of possibility, a solid plan, and the Pivoteer Mindset and Method to sustain momentum long after you return home.

What our October retreat cohort said

  • "The Pivot was a brilliant and incredibly valuable experience. It came just at the right time as I transition from one the world's largest communications agencies to an exciting new world of professional opportunities and personal growth."

    Mike

  • “No more waiting to be ‘ready'. These three days have rewired me for small, certain, achievable actions. I now have clarity, boundaries, and a weekly rhythm that keeps momentum moving even when life gets busy. Which it will."

    Tori

  • “This was about saying 'yes', taking time out and listening to what I need, so I can show up better. I am leaving the Pivot thinking my unfair advantage is actually me; a culmination of my experiences, strengths, vision, perspective, and optimism.”

    Jessie

  • “The Pivot showed me I have forgotten this: I should focus on the goal for 1%, but the other 99%, embrace the feeling and action of going through the process. Don’t stress about the outcome; the outcome is the result of the process.”

    Simon

  • "Now I feel no anxiety, less pressure to be perfect and am clear that I've already started. So now, I will be stripping things back again, to focus on my ideas, see how they sound and how they look, playing around and enjoying the journey. "

    Jules

  • "This was the first time, after focusing on others, that I’ve taken time out and created something new for me. I arrived tangled in 'what-ifs'; I leave with a simple plan and the confidence to start. The Pivot has turned noise into clear next steps."

The Pivot Retreat agenda

The retreat is a 3-day immersive experience that moves you from uncertainty to clarity, confidence and momentum; and from survival mode to purposeful action and growth.

Everything is curated for maximum comfort, clarity and momentum - so you can focus fully on your Pivot.

With participant numbers limited, the retreat is intentionally intimate: every voice is heard and every breakthrough supported.

  • Clarity begins here.
    Day one is about slowing down so you can properly tune in. You’ll take stock of where you are now, what’s changed and what still matters most.

    Through guided visualisation, intention-setting and strengths-based reflection, you’ll reconnect with who you are, what you care about and the kind of future you want to move towards, whether that’s a new venture, a different career path or a fresh way of working and living.

    You’ll end the day feeling more grounded, resourced and ready to look ahead with a clearer head.

  • Breakthrough begins here.
    Day two is about gently releasing what’s been holding you back. You’ll uncover the limiting beliefs, patterns and assumptions that have been shaping your choices about work, success, security and what’s possible next, often without you realising.

    Through guided reflection and reframing, you’ll begin to “unlimit” yourself, shifting into a mindset that’s more open, honest and supportive of the future you want to create.

    You’ll end the day feeling lighter, clearer and more connected to your strengths and potential.

  • Day three is about turning insight into action.

    You’ll shape a clear, realistic plan for your next chapter - whether that’s growing an idea, making a career move or redesigning how you work – in a way that aligns with your goals and who you’re becoming.

    Using simple lean start-up tools and supports, you’ll map out the experiments, steps and structures that will help you keep moving once you leave.

    You’ll end the retreat with a sustainable plan to guide your progress and the confidence to live it.

  • The journey doesn’t end when the retreat does. You’ll be invited to two post-retreat connection sessions to help embed all you’ve learned and keep you moving forward.

    These sessions are a space to reconnect with your cohort, realign with your vision, and continue becoming the person your future needs.

    It’s where momentum is sustained, mindset is strengthened, and your pivot becomes a way of being.
