We work with people who have run out of steam, gone off the boil and want to get back to their best. Our retreats offer space and time for people to write their next chapter.

Stay at the top of your game
Your Next
Chapter

2. Next Chapter Retreats is the
unique way to explore, and then

Next Chapter Retreats works with…
Peter and Hilary work with people who
have a track record of success and
achievement to enable them to stay at
the top of their game.
Why are they different?
Peter, Hilary and their trusted team,
work at depth in small groups, helping
people craft and develop their stories in
a safe, trusting and supportive
environment.

3. Who this is for…
• Ambitious, successful people who
know that who they are as leaders has
an enormous impact on the people
around them
• Who may have got knocked off course
by lockdown, major change in their
lives, or run out of steam and feel
jaded
• Who want to invest in their personal
growth and development in order to
be the best versions of themselves.

4. Your Next Chapter
• Split into an initial 3 days and then about 10 weeks
later, a further 2 days, our flagship programme acts
as a personal MOT, service and valet. Part 1 focuses
on you at your best; your strengths looked at from
your own perspective and others’, what contributes
to peak performance and reconnecting with your
purpose. We also look at what holds you back,
stories you have told yourself about when things
have gone wrong and enabling you to retell those
stories.
• After 10 weeks for further thinking and planning
with support from us, part 2 helps you write an
action plan to help you live the next chapter for
yourself and the business .

5. We enable you to explore your purpose
and direction using the concept of Ikigai,
the Japanese secret to a long and happy
life, finding significance and meaning.
What you stand to gain:
*Knowing what enables you to thrive
and be successful
* Clarity about your purpose, direction,
what really matters to you and what
comes next for you, your business and
your family
* excitement
* new energy
* a sense of renewal
* happiness and satisfaction.
Finding your Ikigai

6. What if you could see the
potential of your life?
The problem:
• You’re too busy
• You’ve worked hard on the diet and
exercise but there’s still something
missing
• You’ve been looking after everyone
else, home schooling at the same
time as keeping your business going,
now you’re exhausted.
We are your Sherpas. We know it can be
difficult. We are here to get you to the
top of the mountain and back in one
piece. We are the backbone of the
expedition.

8. What they said…
‘My little grey cells have been challenged, with
significant reflection, contemplation and exploration
over the last few days. I do feel positive, enthusiastic
and energised about the future and am keen to focus
on my action plan and next steps…’
‘…the use of classic story-telling helped me identify
my strengths, show me at my best and be able to
consider my next steps.’
‘Life-changing for me…’

9. Who we are…
Next Chapter Retreats was founded by
partners Peter Hyson and Hilary Rowland
following accomplished careers. They each
bring more than 30 years experience in
business advice and professional speaking,
coaching and HR, having worked with senior
executives across numerous companies
including the BBC, PWC, Academy for Chief
Executives, Serco, dotDigital, GFT, ChadSan,
and CS2, not to mention sports and
charities. They’re passionate about helping
individuals find their sense of purpose and
then live it.
They have had considerable success with
their unique retreats over many years
working with senior executives in groups,
witnessing how effective the power of
people working together can be on their
personal development. This approach
allows the creation of an environment for
true reflection and exploration by taking
participants ‘off-grid’, free from the
distractions of their professional and
personal lives, and with the time to work at
real depth.

10. Invest in yourself to be your best
We give you the tools to navigate
the path ahead.
