Leadership Immersions provide rich, powerful and long-lasting experiences for leaders to go deep with personal and collective inquiries in well-held psychologically-safe yet deep spaces. This leads them to consider vital questions around their own and their organisations purpose and legacy and how to take their own leadership to the next-stage. Often, adults feedback how they gain far clearer perspectives on their personal and organizational challenges when out in nature.

Key Learning Objectives realised through well-facilitated Leadership Immersions:

• Renewing personal and organisational passion, ambition and purpose
• Revitalising personal and organisational creativity, innovation, adaptability and agility
• Empowering individuals and teams for the ‘new-norm’ of next-stage future-fit leadership
• Enhancing mindful, authentic, inclusive and conscious leadership capacities
• Learning and embodying tools for self-mastery and systemic awareness

Time in nature can provide transformative benefits

Look deep deep deep into nature and you will understand everything better – Albert Einstein, genius

Leadership Immersions have proven uniquely powerful in at least two ways…

 1) Well-facilitated immersions help us identify root problems and systemic solutions, to reach beyond the mechanistic reductive ‘level of consciousness that created our problems in the first place’. We draw on insights from living-systems and apply these to our challenges in profound ways. For more on tis see: https://www.leadershipimmersions.com/what-we-do

2) Being-in-nature is scientifically proven to enhance creativity, empathy, deep listening, improved memory and the ability to see different perspectives. When coupled with somatic body-work, mindfulness, vision-quests and round-the-fire dialogue circle-work, these immersions enable us to find a greater sense of meaning and purpose in our work-lives and also personal lives. It helps develop physiological and psychological coherence and connectedness, and aids us through challenging times of change. For more on this see:  https://www.leadershipimmersions.com/the-science

What do Leadership Immersions consist of?

A blend of solo, pair and group work, mindfulness and presencing techniques, somatic tools and gentle body-work, deep listening exercises, learnings from living-systems applied to organisations, and rich dialogue round the fire.

Leadership Immersion facilitator Giles Hutchins applies several leadership modalities, which he has honed and adapted for nature immersions. These methods include:

• Complexity Theory and Complex Adaptive Systems – Ralph Stacey and others work on the complex non-linear nature of organisations
• Regenerative Leadership – Giles Hutchins work on ‘organization-as-living-system’ and ‘ecosystemic awareness’, supplemented by other pioneers like Carol Sanford, Pamela Mang, Bill Reed, Laura Storm and Michelle Holliday.
• Theory U, Teal/Evolutionary, Future-Fit and Agile – Giles Hutchins work on next-stage Future Fit leadership and organisational development, supplemented by other pioneers like Otto Scharmer, Frederic Laloux, Clare Graves, John Kotter, Robert Kegan, Peter Hawkins and Peter Senge.
