The HOW TO WIN AT WORK Retreat

Get the leadership role you want & deserve

2-6 November 2026

Great Oak Farm, Rosewood, Kent UK

With

GILL WHITTY-COLLINS & GEORGINA VAUGHAN

You know you have the capability.

You have the experience.

You work hard and you deliver results.

So why don’t you have that leadership role you want yet?

Too many brilliant, talented women are held back, not by a lack of ambition or ability, but by many invisible barriers and forces in the workplace: being overlooked, under-recognised, not seen as the right fit in a male dominant culture, or as lacking the confidence and impact and being seen as ‘not ready yet’ for the senior leadership level.

The HOW TO WIN AT WORK Retreat is a transformational experience for women who are ready to learn how to overcome these barriers and step into leadership - you will leave with a clear action plan to get the promotion you deserve.

Led by GILL WHITTY-COLLINS & GEORGINA VAUGHAN

Why this retreat?

Being brilliant at your job isn’t enough - that alone won’t get you the leadership role you deserve.

Senior leadership role decisions are influenced by more than results alone. They are not objective spreadsheet decisions, they are driven by a person’s visibility, relationships, sponsorship, influence, confidence and ability to communicate their contribution and value in a way that others recognise.

Many women spend years focussing on delivering, achieving and supporting and less on reflecting on and deliberately shaping how they are seen and valued as leaders and not just team contributors.

The HOW TO WIN AT WORK Retreat is the space and place to do exactly that.

It brings together decades of leadership experience, research, insights, practical tools and honest conversations to help you understand:

  • What really drives career progression and leadership selection

  • The invisible barriers that negatively impact women’s advancement to senior leadership levels – and how to overcome them

  • How to build authentic confidence, impact and leadership presence grounded in your unique strengths and Superpowers

  • How to communicate your value, contribution and Personal Brand with maximum power to position yourself for the leadership role – and salary - you want

  • How to step-change your visibility, relationships and influence in your workplace– without losing who you are

Why now?

Because you are not yet in the senior leadership role you deserve based on your ability and experience and you don’t want to keep waiting and keep watching others be promoted to that level instead of you.

Whether you are aiming for a promotion to a leadership role or looking to transition to a senior role in a new organisation, this is the moment to invest in yourself.

The HOW TO WIN AT WORK Retreat will give you the insights, clarity, confidence and tools to step into senior leadership. At the end of the Retreat you will leave with an action plan to get that promotion you want and deserve.

A transformational experience

Over this immersive retreat that combines masterclasses, workshops, group work, discussions and reflection you will:

Understand and overcome the barriers that are holding you back

Build your authentic confidence, impact and leadership presence, grounded in your unique strengths and Superpowers

Learn how to communicate your contribution and value with clarity and power and position yourself for the leadership role you deserve

Learn how to step-change your visibility, relationships and influence in your workplace– without losing who you are

Learn how to do all this while taking care of your own well-being and not sacrificing your life outside of work

Connect with a community of brilliant, talented women who are on the same journey to senior leadership and who will become your friends in the Sisterhood for life

Leave with an action plan to get the promotion to the leadership level that you deserve

This Retreat is not…

… just a well-being spa break that will leave you relaxed at the end, but returning to the same career issue and barriers that you had before, with no clarity or plan to overcome them.

However, The HOW TO WIN AT WORK Retreat is a luxury experience, held in a beautiful 5 star location where you will have your own room and bathroom, delicious meals and wine and time for exercise and rest everyday.

You will go home transformed and rejuvenated in every way and ready to take your career and quality of life to a whole new level.
