Are you standing at a crossroads in your career, unsure of which path to take next? It's a familiar feeling for many professionals faced with tough decisions about stability, passion, and authenticity.
Imagine facing three dilemmas as a potential executive or Young Professional:
1. Do you stick with what's comfortable or take a leap into the unknown?
2. Should you prioritise stability or pursue your passion?
3. Are you staying true to yourself or bending to others' expectations?
These dilemmas might seem daunting, but they're opportunities for growth and transformation. And that's where a nature retreat comes in.
Keep your wits
An essential element of a nature retreat is the awareness of work-life balance. To better understand the elements of a proper work-life balance, George has developed his WITS. WITS is an acronym for WE, I, THEM, and SUCCESS. I stands for your vitality, WE stands for your private life, THEM stands for your work and contribution to society. When you keep these three in balance you'r SUCCESS will increase. This model ensures you keep your wits sharp and maintain equilibrium in all aspects of your life.
The U-Curve Model
The U-Curve model, developed by Joseph Jaworski, Otto Scharmer, Peter Senge, and Betty Sue Flowers, offers a roadmap for navigating through challenging times, guiding us from observation and reflection to action and renewal. The left side of the curve represents the preparation phase, where we delve into the past to uncover valuable lessons learned. Through local walks and online assignments, participants explore their personal histories and awaken their minds to creative exercises illuminating their journey.
"Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished."
Lao Tzu
Presencing
At the bottom of the curve lies presencing, a state of complete presence and sensing. Here, amidst the silence of nature, participants connect with their inner selves, harnessing intuition and tapping into sources beyond conventional knowledge. Nature's tranquillity becomes a prerequisite for deep introspection, allowing individuals to gain clarity and insight into their current reality.
Action
The curve's right side signals our journey's culmination: action. Armed with newfound confidence, clarity, and energy, participants return from nature retreats equipped to tackle life's challenges with renewed vigour. With dreams identified, priorities set, and action plans in place, they embark on the next phase of their journey, empowered to pursue their goals with purpose and determination.
"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better."
Albert Einstein
