Annual Retreat
An inspiring, challenging and supportive space to immerse yourself in the wonderful world of Team Coaching.

In a nutshell
Where: Winchester, UK
Your Hosts: Georgina Woudstra and Allard De Jong
When: 8th to 12th July 2024
Early Bird: £1,550 if booked before 31st January 2024
Maybe you’ve only just discovered this thing called Team Coaching? Or you’re curious to expand your knowledge.
Wherever you’re at in your Team Coaching journey, the Retreat is an inspiring, challenging and supportive space for us all to come together.
The Retreat is perfect for you if you’re an independent or in-house coach, or HR and L&D professional and…
- Immersing yourself in all things Team Coaching within a small, welcoming group is your idea of 5 days well-spent
- You’re ready to feel part of a tribe and meet other Team Coaches, as together we help shape the future of our industry
- You don’t just want to read the books, you want to do the stuff by honing your skills and building your confidence
“The TCS tribe created a perfect space for learning, reflection and connection. I didn’t know how much I needed all three until I got there! The blend of structure and free space was perfect for some personal meaning-making – I left with a new spring in my step!”
– Emily J

- Early Bird: £1,550 if booked by 31st January 2024

The Retreat schedule is split into different parts to allow a full breadth of learning and experiential experiences.

But, importantly, the programme allows space for you to unwind and recharge your batteries – this is a retreat, not a conference!
“The TCS 2023 Coaching retreat with the theme of Power, was the most enriching experience for me both as an individual and a team coach. The week was organised to allow our learning (and application) and confidence to build and develop. In addition, being in a community of coaches was supportive and nourishing, a safe learning environment had been established early on. Georgina and Allard are attentive hosts and exceedingly knowledgeable when working with the concept of team coaching. The venue was ideal and beautiful, with Winchester well placed for eating and entertaining.”

This year's theme is
Acts of Courage in Team Coaching
In a world where the status quo often goes unchallenged, the role of a team coach is to be the catalyst for courageous conversations and transformative actions.
Next July, Team Coaching Studio invites you to our third annual retreat in the historic city of Winchester, UK, centred around the compelling theme: “Acts of Courage.”
Why Courage?
Virtue Meets Skill:
Courage is not just a noble quality; it’s a skill to be honed. It’s the linchpin that transforms good coaches into great ones.
Intervention Impact:
The ability to intervene effectively with clients often hinges on the courage to address the uncomfortable. Courage empowers us to navigate the complexities of team dynamics and organizational culture.
What to Expect
- Guest Speakers: Learn from industry leaders who embody courage in their practice.
- Hands-On Coaching: Engage in real-world scenarios to practice courageous interventions.
- Reflect and Recharge: Carve out time to introspect and renew your commitment to your craft.
- Fun: Need I say more?
- Networking Opportunities: Connect with like-minded professionals who share your passion for team coaching.
- Wellness Activities: Mindfulness exercises and nature walks to rejuvenate your spirit.
- Culinary Delights: Savour local pubs and restaurants that nourish both body and soul.
Join us for a week of immersive learning, reflection, and, most importantly, acts of courage.
Let’s challenge conventions, disrupt complacency, and elevate our collective practice.
After all, courage is contagious; catch it, and your teams will too.
They say courage is grace under pressure. Well, consider this retreat your “grace boot camp.”
