Recharge and Deepen: Boost your Batteries

Leadership in this day and age demands a tremendous amount from you. Whether you are a DGA, CEO, (senior) manager or (senior) professional. Your agenda is overloaded and you have to constantly switch between your strategic responsibilities and practical problem solving. Moreover, in recent years the demand for personal leadership has increased enormously. Just giving structure and direction is no longer enough, you also have to personally commit to goals and especially to people. The challenges you face put a strain on your flexibility, private work balance and energy management.

Under the guidance of Professional Coaches

Ella Taal

In 2011, Awareness in Business was founded by Ella, born after a management buyout at her previous organizational consulting firm Second Nature.

For over 25 years she has experience as a coach, trainer and organizational consultant for various clients both at home and abroad. On several occasions she has successfully organized retreats on Mallorca and elsewhere for Management teams, DGAs and CEOs, among others.

Ella will take care of boosting your mental battery during the retreat through coaching sessions and various group training sessions. Ella's experience in teaching successful retreats have led to proven positive results for participants.

Matthijs van der Gugten

Matthijs identifies himself as a passionate mover and pursuer of fitness, happiness and optimism. Purely from that motivation and gradually as an expert by experience, he has shaped himself, his life and his career. 

He is proud owner and founder of Train2B Health, Fitness & Lifestyle Coaching and also of Boost-your-Batteries. Two initiatives that he finds it most wonderful when others reap the benefits. 

During the retreat he challenges people to take the 'road less traveled', knowing that this is going to make all the difference for greater health and vitality. Simply put, the 'road less traveled' is the path of a life full of energy, a way of life based on sufficient, energizing physical activity and a cluster of habits-with stress management at the forefront-that boost your vitality. It is the path of personal leadership and responsibility that leads not only to health and vitality, but also to self-respect and control over your destiny.

What travelers say

"I'm pretty down to earth but I had an incredible energy boost. It has given me an important insight into some blockages I had been experiencing for some time and meaning in work and in life itself. Relaxation and energy are the key words for me that have stuck most powerfully."
Jan Pieter Ellerbroek
Jan Pieter EllerbroekDGA PMB Express
"It's incredible that you think you know people so well at work but that this retreat provides a kind of opportunity to get to know people much better and deeper. And also to hear what's on their minds and what's going on with them. To bring so much depth to it, it almost gives you a liberating feeling in the end. You get peace. You also see this reflected in the team. It gives enormous energy to really get back on track. In a way, it has brought much more than I had thought beforehand. We worked hard on each other and on yourself and that brings a lot."
Pete Krop
Piet KropManaging Director EversPartners
"Every now and then you need to take time for yourself to look at where you are and what path you want to continue on. This 'journey' gives you insight into who you are now and strength to continue working with that. If you join me I hope it will be a life changing experience. You will go home again as a rich person."

"I wish this on everyone, every team. Just a 'Reset,' being able to get back into it. I had no idea what to expect when I came here with the team. I had a number of points that I felt really needed to be discussed. Ella brought that in in a very nice natural way. The structure of the model Ella used really helped me find some words in conversations. I enjoyed the delicious food. But also the location definitely contributed to the openness and tranquility. I liked that there was enough space to retreat, take a walk or bike ride, but also enough space to be together."
Mandie Timmer

"What we achieved,besides a lot of side benefits, is that we became very aware of our personal needs. We have learned and experienced that these needs are non-negotiable; and along with our talents are very important for setting and achieving our personal goals. But most of all, I am very pleased with the genuine friendship that can develop between a man of 18 in 5 days. It is an experience I would not have wanted to miss. I am happy and proud to have been a participant.''

"The Business Awareness (Re)treat led by Ella has made me more aware of my talents and needs. It has given me peace and clarity. It was a combination of thinking, theory and planning your own work, feeling (how am I in my skin, from which emotion do I react, where does energy leak etc) and body eating healthy, going into nature, yoga and meditation, sports: a trinity that determines how effective you are as a leader."
Margot Cooijmans

"I look forward to returning to the team tomorrow after this retreat. It was inspiring as well as fun. I still need to process and let everything sink in before I start sharing everything with the team right away, I'm going to let that sink in dosed into the team. However, I will say that I really enjoyed it and found it useful!"

"It was a very special experience. It has brought us a lot of connection and as I look to the future it is going to bring us a lot as a team. It really brought us together."
