Discover what the 2024 Summer Retreat Includes
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.
Team Coaching Studio invites you to our third annual retreat in the historic city of Winchester, UK, centered 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.
Dare to transform, one act of courage at a time
Our Retreat unfolds in the historic and serene setting of Winchester, beginning with a journey into courage and its role in team coaching, followed by immersive workshops with Teresa Wilson. Teresa will guide you through the intricacies of the Language of Shadow through a workshop that will journey into the depths of your unconscious, unlocking resources and capabilities that have yet to be integrated into your coaching practice, and expanding the field of your presence exponentially.
We’ll explore how can we take care of ourselves when we slip into a place of fear, self-doubt or self-consciousness, through the Language of Shadow. With opportunities to pause, practice, connect and reflect, the Retreat will ensure you leave with not just knowledge, but wisdom ready to be applied.

“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.”
