Ohki Leadership

The Executive Enrichment Programme

Imagine taking six full days for yourself, spread out over a 12-month period, to enrich, restore and invigorate yourself in the capable hands of a highly experienced executive coach. The Executive Enrichment Programme offers you exactly that – the opportunity to work in person, at a location or venue of your choosing, perhaps choosing from those we recommend, with one of our Ohki team. Experience six individually curated solo-retreat days, designed to meet your unique needs in the context of the systems you live and work in.

You will choose from a selection of holistic practices or activities to add to each day; together, we will co-design a leadership retreat programme for you to get creative, be holistically nourished, and move outside of your comfort zone as much as you have the appetite for. You may want to deep-dive and explore specific questions you are holding, whether personal or professional; the Executive Enrichment Programme is a truly bespoke and powerful experience with clear benefits for the whole person – your career, professional practice, relationships, and overall wellbeing – returning you to the organisation or cause that you serve refocused, re-energised and revitalised.

The details:

Ohki Tailored retreats are for teams and organisations that want or need extended time away from the office and front line to focus on their unique priorities, whether relational, restorative or outcome-based. Because Ohki Tailored is uniquely designed to meet your specific needs, the invitation is broad: We work with all sorts of businesses, systems and professionals, in a wide range of settings, drawing on our combined and broad professional backgrounds.

Initial enquiry: We start with a connecting call, to co-create what you need over the programme, and begin the programme together – planning ahead for the year.

The retreat: Your Ohki retreat programme includes six individual retreat days spread over a 12-month period. Each day starts with a holistic practice of your choosing – this may include a member of our extended team (e.g., if you choose yoga, tai chi, or Qigong), or facilitated mindfulness or nature inspired reflective practice with your retreat host. This is accompanied by two sessions of individual executive coaching with your retreat host, an experienced psychologist or executive coach, alongside a creative, holistic or other enriching practice or activity forming part of each retreat day. We include three-or-multi-way contracting at sessions one & six with your

programme sponsors, where appropriate and whey exist, to ensure clarity of expectations, outcomes and boundaries for all key stakeholders.

We meet you at beautiful locations and venues which offer outdoor spaces and a truly nourishing environment – our aim is to recommend places for you to choose

from, and to work with your specific needs and preferences to find the right space for our time together, to enable creativity, professional containment, and a holistic,

nourishing experience – which of course will include lunch and refreshments.

What do we mean by enrichment?

For Ohki, enrichment or ‘nourishing experiences’ are holistic, and lead to fresh insights, deep earning, or ‘simply’ deep or much needed rejuvenation.

  • Enrichment practices take us out of our ‘heads’, the place we are often most familiar or comfortable working from, and into our bodies; out of intellectual expression and into creative or innovative expression.

  • Our suggested ‘enrichment’ practices and activities are designed as opportunities for you to try something new – consider what might take you outside of your comfort zone perhaps, what might be a stretch? Or maybe it is an indulgence that you need, if self-care or your wellbeing is what needs attending to. What would take you to an edge you are curious to explore - is there a sporting or physical activity that would add something unique to your programme? How about a creative pursuit, or exploring a specific skill? Maybe a specially curated one-to-one class, something adventurous, health-related, or therapeutic?

  • We will work with you to design the programme that meets your specific individual needs, to enhance your work and life holistically.

  • Consider something…

    • Physical or sports related - archery, falconry, horse-riding, paddle boarding, tennis, swimming, wild swimming…!

    • Creative, such as poetry, music, singing, drawing, painting…

    • Holistic - extended one-to-one Yoga, Qigong, or Mindfulness tuition

    • Health related – we have highly regarded nutritionists, dieticians, and sport masseurs on our books, for example

    • Therapeutic – whether physically (beauty or spa appointment) or emotional/psychological (therapy or counselling to address some deeper issues)

What people have to say

  • Systemic Team Coaching changed our thinking forever. Thinking and operating at a systemic level is a game shifter making things simpler and quicker. I recommend it to any leadership team.

    Phil Bigland, Global Business Services Director, Dyson

  • The team event was really brilliant. The facilitator was really very good, and the chance to talk to our team management around the table was so useful - we took a lot from it. Overall, I left positive about integration and wanting to get it right for the future.
