Are you a leader wanting to grow your business?
Your leadership style makes all the difference.
For your company to really fly you’ll need:
The kind of culture employees queue to join - that goes way beyond ping pong and free bananas.
The kind of leadership that inspires and empowers your team - someone people remember as a great boss.
Positive team dynamics - that give no one the Sunday scaries.
Consistent energy and emotional intelligence - which means more than morning yoga and a positive mantra.
Why people come...
Leading better
"I've always struggled to let go. I am a bit of a control freak. I feel like this might be holding us back. We have a great strategy and product but I get worried about the team making mistakes"
Missing something?
"I often wonder if I'm missing something...a better idea, more clients, the point of it all? I am happy enough but curious; perhaps there's more to life, and work, than this. Am I even on the right path? I'm OK as I am, so's my company really, but I'm sure there's more potential..."
Lost?
"I've always been very driven, ambitious, upbeat. After a series of challenging events out of work, something shifted. i've kind of lost my mojo. What's happening to me?"
"A CEO in a healthy mental state isn't just better personally. They're better for the organization and their surrounding network. People respond more favorably to leaders when they show compassion" - Forbes.
And yet
"Over 80% of business leaders show fatigue, low motivation, mood swings, and sleep difficulties" - BUPA
What will my retreat involve?
Join a curated group or we'll tailor an exclusive retreat just for your team. Either way, we want to make sure you feel The Sound of Leadership Accelerator is a good fit for where you're at. We invite you first to a Discovery Call with one of our practitioners to explore, then we welcome you to our country home for your experience to begin...
Welcome to our family home
Green rolling fields, a rose garden, lawns and orchards. A new horizon with space to be you, to learn and explore who you are as a leader.
You'll arrive in time for elevenses, group introductions and agreeing team rules. Then we begin.
- Why are you here, how do you lead, and what actually is a leader? We'll introduce you to Transactional Analysis - the art of choosing how we interact, with our self and with others.
Workshops in the Panelled Room
We'll reveal a new model for understanding yourself and others. Covering the essentials of your personal leadership style - your Drivers, Blockers, stress reactions - and the building blocks of team and company culture. We'll share a new model "the Ok-way" for creating a positive culture based on respect, clear communication and empathy.
Let the music begin...
The highlight: The London Mozart Players join us for a unique, interactive and immersive exploration of leadership and teamwork.
The classical orchestra is a powerful metaphor for leadership and teamwork in the business world. Immersing yourself in this unique live experience brings Transactional Analysis to life allowing you to see what it takes to achieve sustainable superior team performance - and hear the difference.
The Fireside
After a shared dinner, the roaring fire of the library awaits.
- Reflect on your learnings from the day.
- Apply to your personal leadership style, identifying your strengths and unhelpful patterns.
- Set your goal for the next 3 months, and commit to change...

Philippa Richardson
Founder & Transactional Analyst Psychotherapist
“Whatever your focus - managing clients, delegating, communicating - the quality of your interactions will influence the quality of your life. Master the art of the transaction and the world is your oyster. ”
Transactional Analysis ("TA") is psychology's best kept secret. I discovered it when I was a head of marketing and as an analytical ex-lawyer, it immediately appealed. What I discovered changed my life.
My colleague Will and I work together with you to help you...
See your self in the round - the experience is like your own personal 360 review, with a framework to really "get" your relationship with your self and others.
Develop more effective communication with your team according to their personality and behaviour

Continually build more confidence in your leadership style and abilties
