This retreat is for Senior Leaders who are navigating increasingly complex environments.
You have come to a realisation that the tried and tested strategies are not having the required effect, even when you have made significant investments in consultants and endless research.
The pattern of dysfunction continues to repeat, despite having the best leaders, talent and product or service. The limiting patterns are undermining performance and impacting bottom line results.
There is fear and a lack of trust in the system but you're not sure why.
You are are struggling to get to this invisible dynamic or hidden tension.
You can’t quite put your finger on it - it is just beyond your field of vision – yet your intuition tells you there is something else going on.
The energy in the organisation is low and potentially even toxic – recruiting new talent is challenging to say the least.
Your reputation of being a great company to work for is diluted.
You have friction within the business that you can't quite get to the bottom of – silos are only being exasperated.
Nevertheless, you are committed to take your organisation to the next level of connection, cohesion and performance and as such, you are ready to enhance your leadership with a systemic perspective.
This enhancement includes looking at your organisation as a whole, living and dynamic system beyond the current incumbents, and beyond the current time horizon.
The Systemic Leadership Retreat is for you if you are a...
________________
- Senior Leader who realises you don't have all the answers to the complex challenges and the invisible dynamics
- Senior Leader who is open and willing to explore, experiment and expand your perspective with peers from other sectors
- Senior Leader who is ready to offer your leadership at the service of the health of the business
- Senior Leader who is approaching a transition point and wants to explore your own journey
To be able to attend you need to have a minimum of 8 years in a Senior Leadership Role and be a member of a Senior Leadership Team of Medium & Large Scale organisations.
Key Takeaways...
________
____________
Over the course of a few days, you will have an opportunity to explore the dynamics within your organisation, and within your own leadership.
You will gain insights on what the organisational system needs from you as a leader and we will help you fine tune your systemic sensing skills, so that you can feel more equipped to expand and deepen your field of vision.
You will be reminded of the importance of slowing down and zooming out in order to heighten and fine tune your intuition and perceptive skills.
From this expanded viewpoint, you will harvest new insights and clarity of the intervention that is needed for fresh energy, vitality and ultimately, performance to flow – in a sustainable way.
This retreat will offer the fundamentals of the systemic approach and provide leaders with an expanded toolkit and a way of looking at the system, that helps to develop a connected, cohesive and energised organisation.
We invite you to bring those challenges where you'd appreciate some new insights - we will create the conditions and the support for new intervention possibilities to show up.
On the other hand, you may wish to take this time to look inward – to allow the next chapter to reveal itself and/or evaluate your own leadership trajectory and explore what life wants from you.
Specifically you will leave the retreat with:
__________
- Insights that will help you uncover and explain the why behind unhelpful dynamics in your organisation
- The first step towards healing any historical and unprocessed trauma in the system
- A broader set of lenses with which to view multiple layers of complexity & challenge
- Support on how to create positive movement in your organisation
- Having had the time, space and support to zoom back and take stock of your own leadership journey
- Clarity on your own patterns and how these may be showing up in your leadership

Barbara Hoogenboom
Barbara studied Business Administration and worked over a decade in financial organisations in management positions in the Netherlands and abroad.
'I am constantly curious to find out what the good (systemic) reasons are that things are the way they are.
Zooming out to wider systems is part of my natural way of being and doing.
Always ready to be courageous ánd vulnerable.
Not afraid of harsh reality ánd in service of mildness and gratitude.
I love to spread systemic work as a healthy virus, through trainings, workshops, constellations and coaching.'
Then she worked as independent mediator in organisational and family conflicts for 11 years until 2015, when the systemic work fully took her into service.
She lives with her husband Michiel, three children and dog Tex in the beautiful old countryside of Texel.
'I enjoy how the Texel sheep are hopping funny in the meadow and I feel vital, partly thanks to the year-round swimming in the (Wadden) sea.'
