Retreat Breaks

The idea

The idea started when I asked a friend to stay with me who was having a very trying and uncomfortable time in their life. During the 5 day stay I coached part of the time. Other times I stepped out of my coaching role and became a mentor, then other times I was a social worker, an advisor, A shopping partner, a travelling companion, chauffer, evening companion but ultimately a shoulder to lean on and occasionally handed out the handkerchiefs for us both.
My Friend went back a completely different person, now armed with hope, a positive attitude to many aspects, with clarity and a new lease of life.
The quote they left me with was…… “Brian if you were to charge me a £1000.00 for this trip you would be underselling yourself, and happiness is far more important than money !"

What will the break be like?

If you do decide on the Coaching / Retreat Break then this is how it might be:

During our stay together we will be able to spend many hours together if you so wish. This will enable me to work out side the normal Coaching Practice.Because as you have read coaching in its self is not about giving advice, or mentoring, but if you require it I can then offer this also.
Again if you so wish.
In other words if you want to talk openly about any other issues. Problems or just want a friend to share topics and conversation with, then I will be there for you. I will not abandon you in your hour of need.
The Code of Ethics will apply through out, regardless.

So based on a 5 day stay you will get a block of 6 sessions to be used as and when you decide. Some during your stay, some after your back home, or use them all up on your retreat, (Your Choice) There’s the pickup and drop off from Alicante Airport and your own room in the shared apartment. There will also be free use of the outside communal swimming pool that has a small waterfall feature, it also has a lovely sun bathing area right by the pool and it’s all security gated for privacy.

Meals such as Breakfast or Brunch with an evening meal can be provided as an optional extra (see prices below) which will be outside of the accommodation at various cafes and restaurants nearby. I will be there for you if you require any additional skills out-side of the package that you purchase. Remember 6 hourly coaching sessions are included in the basic price.

It’s worth noting that the cost of a coach’s time for just 6 hours would be between £600.00 and £800.00 alone, and that's just for 6 hourly sessions, the accommodation would be about £1,000.00 and a hire car would be about £500.00 for 5 days and all in beautiful Sunny Spain. Remember that on a coaching retreat we may spend about 10 hours of an awakened day together for these 5 days, so it’s a great way to learn more about yourself outside of a straight forward conventional coaching session.

So, there’s your accommodation, pick up & the drop off at the airport and the time spent together outside of the coaching hours, so I do really believe that this represents excellent value for money. But then how do you put a price on fixing issues that are affecting your life, both now and in the future?

All this for just £1,195.00! or £1,395.00 with full board.You just need to pay for your flights to and from Alicante

Before you can be coached

Please ensure you meet the below requirement before enquiring:
You need to be 18 years of age or gain parental permission if you are younger. You need to fill in the forms that I send you then return them to me. You will need to understand the code of ethics and know what coaching is and is not. You must sign the contract which is legally binding, then send to me - this is to protect us both.
If you are considering a “Coaching Break” then you need to inform Family, Spouse, Partner, Wife, Girlfriend/Boy friend or some one close so as they know where you are, etc. You must be willing and committed to your own success; action will need to be taken from your part. I can not and must not take clients who are not 100% committed to the program. The program is very simple but I can not do this with out your focus and commitment

Chaperones

Although we offer our Coaching Breaks to both men and women we understand that there might be times when women might like to bring a companion with them to act as a chaperone or vice-versa.
In fact, we recommend this for our mutual security. If you do not want to bring someone with you, then that’s fine, but if you do require a chaperone we can arrange this for you. The chaperone will not be involved with any of the coaching sessions, but will be in the villa during your stay
When you bring someone with you we only ask that you pay the cost of his or her accommodation with us on a Bed and Breakfast basis. Should you require us to arrange a chaperone for you please call so that we may discuss your needs and any additional costs this may incur?
We also understand that you may have specific dietary requirements and we will do our best to meet your needs. When you arrange your Coaching Break please let us know.
