Get Your Senior Team Together
Take time out of your busy schedule for four days in a completely
different environment that gives you the space and time to explore different paths, connect with your team, and get everyone thinking strategically.
In-Person Strategy Retreat
Sonrisa deliver corporate sustainability coaching with a twist. Focused on nourishing food, light exercise, nature, and connection in a beautiful mountain setting in Spain. This environment provides a safe, productive space to think outside the box and be creative. Bringing together heads of department and senior leaders in your business enables a holistic view of the business, its challenges, and opportunities. After the three days are finished Sonrisa will follow up to fine tune the strategy and provide next steps. Pulling in the same direction means faster and more impactful change.
It is also possible to carry the sessions out in the UK so get in touch to discuss options.
Having worked in sustainable business disciplines since I graduated in 2007, I have a lot of experience in developing strategy, goals and implementation of sustainability related topics for a wide range of business types, from investment banks to universities. Maybe you are at the very beginning, or already have an ESG strategy but stuck on how to take action. From scope 3 emissions to bioplastic, we can get into the detail and tease out what really matters and what to do next.

Schedule
Day 1
Arrival midday and get to know each other over lunch.
In the afternoon each discipline to explain their business function to me and key challenges/ opportunities both short and long term.
Dinner served in the evening around a table all together, this event is about team building as well!
Our menu is predominately plant based and we hope that the dishes will inspire you and show off the best of vegetarian cooking. If you require meat dishes then this can be discussed at booking.
Day 2
Morning guided exercise and healthy breakfast.
I play back what I heard the day before and give my initial thoughts on the direction you could take, we then spend time identifying your key impact areas and use the afternoon to shortlist and prioritise. Finishing around 5pm.
Nutritious lunch and dinner served. There is time after dinner to relax in the hot tub, or take advantage of optional extras like booking a yin yoga session or having a massage. Additional activities can be discussed during booking.
Day 3
Morning group hike, breakfast and then I present ideas for short and long terms goals and targets.
The afternoon is free for your own meetings or to take advantage of the facilities: pool, massage, hot tub, etc. Evening out as a team (self funded) with an agreed pick up time.
Day 4 - Departure Day
One last breakfast together and then you depart before midday. More data will be needed to validate and finalise my recommendations, and I will follow up with data requests over an agreed timeframe.
Accommodation
Privately located, with lush tropical gardens, jacuzzi, an orchard, swimming pool area with sun deck, terraced areas and panoramic mountain views. This peaceful setting is ideal for getting a fresh perspective, connecting with others and learning something new. The villa is located on the Costa Blanca, 1 hour from either Alicante or Valencia airport. The location is remote but you can hike and cycle straight from the property and be in Calpe town within a 10 minute drive.
Various spaces across the premises will be used to hold the sessions, giving people a change of scene and energy throughout the course. You can opt to extend the time up to 6 days and use these spaces to run your own sessions with supervision and support from Sonrisa.
Meals will be served at the communal dining space, or an alternative undercover location if it rains. The menu is nutritious and predominately plant based to show off the very best in vegetarian cuisine. We also have tea, coffee and fruit available all day for snacking. In the evening we provide some local wine for the meal.
A range of rooms available some with private outdoor space and en-suite. If everyone has a separate room we can accommodate 9 people, but can be up to 18 if sharing. All rooms are fully equipped with linen, aircon and either en-suite or shared bathroom. A list of room types is available.
During downtime there is a private pool blessed with the Spanish countryside around to relax and unwind from all that brainwork. There is also a jacuzzi and many hikes you can venture on straight from the property.
