Turning change into opportunity, ideas into action.
In the words of our October ‘25 retreat cohort
Change is inevitable. Sometimes it happens by choice. Sometimes by circumstance.
But each time, it represents an opportunity to pivot. To step forward to somewhere new, to be someone new, or to make a long-held brilliant idea a reality. In a world of fast-paced change, unpredictability and uncertainty, we can all benefit from being more ‘Pivoteer’.
That’s why we created ‘The Pivot’, a programme to navigate change in a way which is both purposeful and sustainable. Available through our flagship retreat, and now, to increase access for more people, in day-workshop and online formats.
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 to their future. An uncommon retreat, this is not time out, but time in.
Whether you’re pivoting in business, creative path or life direction, this is your space to process where you are, get clear on what you want, and step into meaningful action - armed with the tools, support and clarity to keep going long after the retreat ends.
With an approach blending expert coaching, lean start-up focus and strategic problem-solving, in a space that catalyses transformation, we’ll help you move forward with purpose and momentum.
The Pivot Retreat is for career changers, entrepreneurs,
creators and side-hustlers.
Certain moments in life, we know, can be the catalysts for change. It is in these moments that we can persevere with the status quo or we can pivot.
A career change retreat for redundancy leavers ready to reinvent themselves.
If redundancy or a career change has left you at a crossroads, The Pivot Retreat offers space, structure, and support to reimagine your future and make long-held dreams a reality. Enforced change can be a catalyst for reinvention and through The Pivot you will discover how to turn uncertainty and a sense of urgency into opportunity.
Coming back from maternity or paternity leave often means balancing childcare, finances, and shifting priorities when it comes to what you want from work. The Pivot Retreat provides space to reflect, build confidence, and redesign your career or venture on your own terms.
A retreat for parents returning to work after parental leave or a long absence.
When children leave home or when a long corporate career is losing its appeal, it’s common to feel the pull for something new but be unclear on what comes next. The Pivot retreat is designed for people seeking a meaningful new chapter; turning your brilliant idea into a re-energising opportunity.
The Pivot retreat is for empty nesters and those seeking a second act.
Are you ready to pivot?
You will leave The Pivot Retreat inspired and equipped with a renewed sense of possibility, a solid plan, and what we call the Pivoteer Mindset and Method; an approach based on purposeful action, continuous learning, adaptation and growth.

Retreat agenda
The retreat is a 3-day immersive experience that initiates a powerful and sustainable journey through change: from uncertainty to clarity, confidence and momentum; from introspection and survival mode to purpose-led action and growth.
-
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.
Every aspect of this fully-inclusive experience has been thoughtfully curated for maximum comfort, clarity and momentum. From nourishing meals to inspiring surroundings, every detail is considered so you can focus fully on your transformation.
With participant numbers limited per retreat, The Pivot Retreat is intentionally intimate. Designed to ensure every voice is heard and every breakthrough supported.
