The Clearing

in person, next set starts September 2024.

The outcome of this programme is simple - to find connection to yourself, to others and to your why.

 The Clearing takes place over a year and is designed to address three challenges we see facing founders and leaders in the times we live in:

  • It’s hard to take time to stop and rest when there’s so much work to be done and we live in a world that tells us we need to be useful, always.

  • Being a leader or founder is a lonely place.

  • It’s not easy to meet your own needs when you’re taking care of so many others.

What can I expect?

The Clearing is led by experienced leadership coach, workshop leader and founder Sarah Fox.

You’ll join Sarah and a small group of other values-led founders and leaders on the beautiful Kent coast. We meet for 6 days (spread across the year) for a carefully designed programme that puts you at the centre.

 Throughout The Clearing you’ll be invited to:

-       Share your dilemmas and challenges around leadership.

-       Connect with the stories and behaviours that no longer serve you.

-       Commit to new ways of being or doing that support you better.

-       Grow your problem-solving muscles and active listening skills.

-       Support your peers in their dilemmas and challenges.

-       Rest.

We meet six times a year (approx. every 8 weeks), and we start in September.

 Our gatherings take place at a lovely location in Thanet - either Ramsgate, Broadstairs or Margate (all accessible by train).

 Each day (10am - 5pm) will look slightly different but consists of:

  • Action Learning - peer support

  • Sharing of leadership tools and models

  • Lunch and plenty of refreshments (provided by local businesses)

  • Movement (walking, yoga etc)

  • Rest

 In between sessions, you have 3 x 30 min check-in calls with Sarah, and we’ll have 2 x virtual check ins as a group.

 This is for you if you are a woman or non-binary founder or leader of a pro-social organisation - this doesn’t have to be a charity/not-for-profit - as long as it has a social purpose at its core.  You must be able to make at least 5 out of the 6 dates, including the first session. Ideally you can commit to all of them.

 A note on accessibility - if you have any worries at all about whether we can meet your needs, do let me know via booking a call (link below) or contact me and I will do my utmost to support you.

 How much is it?

 Deposit of £290 to secure your spot, then 11 payments of £110 or £1500 in full.
