Leadership and Team Development
​Away Days, Corporate Retreats, Teambuilding Activities and Wellbeing Sessions are all very well but after investing any amount of time and money into your people what you really want is a solid improvement in their leadership and teamwork ability.
​
And although this can be helped by online learning workshops and group activities, developing these skills is not just a case of knowledge exchange.
​
Experts and neuroscientists agree that for exponential progress a skillful combination of direct training of concepts and frameworks combined with deep learning through experiences and reflection is what's required.​
The Meon Springs Realise Model
At Meon Springs we use a Naturally Productive Route as the basis of our journey towards effective teamwork and leadership. The route starts with helping people, in a stress free way, realise just what they are capable of and what is stopping them realise that. Underlying the journey skills, perspectives and insights are uncovered to help lessen mind chatter and realise mental wellbeing that is so necessary in the path of realising potential.
​
The journey continues with the development of teamwork skills and then focuses on the systems and structures required for highly effective leadership.
​
With these skills and insights under their belts and embedded in an experiential way, your leaders and teams will be well equipped to navigate the perils and challenges of the modern workplace.
Below are some examples of Away Days and Retreats we run for different groups.

Graduate Training Adventure
​
Day 1

​
The two days very much combine the energy of the outdoors with impactful activities to build confidence and competence.​
​​
Accommodation is in our Yurt Village, either in our comfortable Mongolian Yurts or under the stars in Hammocks or Bell Tents.​ This alone takes some attendees to the edge of their comfort zone, but not beyond.
​​​
​The farm setting and underlying farming business are also used as valuable training assets, helping trainees link nature, sustainability and real life business to their learning.​​
​
All our programmes encourage inclusivity and celebrate diversity.

​​​
The approach is to develop team confidence and competence whilst having fun and building connections and better work relationships within the team.
​​

​
Our team programmes are designed to help teams work together whether they are in the same place or working remotely.
For Leadership Solutions
For Leadership teams we offer a two day
Leadership Thinking Mission
​​
Charismatic leaders are inspirational and motivating, however without solid strategic thinking that is well embedded in the organisation, there is no chance for the team to achieve traction and achieve the desired results.
After outlining the current issues, day 1 focuses on different thinking techniques - Systems Thinking, Framework Thinking, Outcome Thinking and Critical Thinking to name a few. and includes practical activities such as clay shooting and axe throwing to engage different parts of the brain.​
​
Day 2
Using the learning from the previous day, Day 2 focuses on exploring and putting together different solutions and outcomes that could form the basis of the way forward for the business.
The environment and support at Meon Springs helps leaders drop out of their usual thinking to allow fresh insight to emerge.
​
Our Leadership Thinking Mission gives you the tools and techniques to develop your own Leadership Approach.
For Mental Wellbeing
Peace of mind, is key to enjoying and celebrating success. For this reason, we offer a one to two day

This programme helps teams develop a toolkit of skills and techniques that can be reached for to go beyond problems and issues and achieve results in a naturally productive, less stressful way.
​​​
It introduces and explores different perspectives and concepts, some of which many participants may not have considered. There is plenty of time for self exploration and experiencing things that attendees may not have previously experienced..
