Discover your Leadership Niche
6th June & 9th July
2024
Join the Wilder.Work team to understand your unique leadership niche through an enriching day in nature.
On the glorious Rebel Farm in Kent, we’ll spend a day together exploring your leadership style through the prism of our natural environment.
Every plant has its own ‘ecological niche’ allowing it to thrive and survive even in the toughest environments. The same principle applies to leaders and aspiring leaders. This enriching day will help you think through your leadership niche: who you are, how you are different, and what you need to allow you to grow with freedom.
This Wilder.Work day will combine:
- Hands-on exploration of how plants thrive in their specific environments, adapting and flourishing in their unique niches, with renowned ecologist Michael White
- Uplifting group coaching to apply these ecological principles to your leadership journey, with Caroline Gordon and Holly Tennock
- A three-course hyper-local seasonal lunch cooked by our Green Michelin-starred chef Shane Pearson and served in an unforgettable natural location
You’ll leave with a renewed sense of purpose, a head full of potential, and a big smile.
Who is this for?
- Established leaders who want to understand and develop their leadership style
- Managers and aspiring leaders who want to grow and nurture their budding leadership style
- Entrepreneurs who want to create a rich foundation for their business
- Nature lovers and professionals who want an enriching day in nature

The “Fire, Foraging and Feasting for New Business” day, gives you a chance to enjoy a safari-style off-site to reconnect you with your innate skills of identifying the right new business opportunities. Step out of your day-to-day and connect with other agency folk to learn the ancient skills of foraging in a rewilding landscape. Attune your observational skills and your natural sense of abundance whilst hanging out in beautiful large stretch tents and big hat teepees in a private woodland with a large rewilding meadow opposite.
Not only that, but you’ll be able to feast on your new-found skills – with a little help from Green Starred Michelin Chef, Shane Pearson, who will create a 3-course lunch in an unforgettable wild location including delicious foraged foods.
After lunch, apply this refreshed way of thinking directly back into your business in a coach-led workshop that use natural stimulus to fire up a whole new way of thinking about your approach to landing new business. Leave with an increased sense of connection to opportunities for your business. Come away with peer tested business development ideation ready to land new opportunities for your business.
