Fabrice Desmarescaux  is a Partner at McKinsey and works with CEO’s and their teams to increase in their performance and effectiveness. He also creates the next generation of leaders working with team members who are not yet on the executive committee. He talks about the benefits of retreats for his clients and how slowing down and being in nature can have a positive impact.

Fabrice tells us the importance of changing the environment and where the team work together helps to see the world in a different way. When immersed in nature Fabrice explains how leaders can deal with uncertainty differently. As someone who works with a herd of horses in nature, I certainly resonate with everything Fabrice talks about.

I found myself slowing down and getting really present with Fabrice and my nervous system calming. I’m someone who often works at 300 mph and taking time to be really present is such a gift.

For anyone who is sceptical about slowing down, I love how Fabrice explains that nature demonstrates the ability to move from chaos to beauty and order. If you want to create less chaos and more order in your organisation or team, then maybe it’s time for a retreat for you too?

How do you ensure you slow down in order to access your creativity and leadership?
