Leadership Recalibration
Seven days walking the Camino de Santiago.
Stripped of distractions.
Guided transformation.
You make decisions that affect millions. Budgets, people, outcomes.
But when was the last time you had space to think without the next meeting, the next deadline, the next crisis demanding your attention?
The Camino doesn't care about your title. It cares whether you can walk 20 kilometers with nothing but your thoughts.
That's where the recalibration happens.
What This Actually Is
One hundred kilometers on a lesser-walked route of the Camino de Santiago.
Seven days of walking. Structured reflection. Daily guidance.
This isn't a vacation. It's a leadership intensive that happens to take place on an ancient pilgrimage route.
You walk alone. The Camino's power is in the solitude—the confrontation with what's actually running the show when you can't hide behind your calendar.
But you're not unsupported. Before you go, we set clear intentions. While you walk, you get daily guidance. After you return, we integrate what emerged.
The walking creates the conditions. The guidance ensures you don't waste the insights.

Why Walking Works for Leadership Clarity
Stanford research found walking boosts creative thinking by 60%. Strategic breakthroughs happen when your body moves and your mind can wander.
The Camino creates the exact conditions leaders rarely get:
-
Extended time away from reactive decision-making
-
Physical challenge that builds mental resilience
-
Solitude that forces real reflection
-
No escape routes when difficult questions surface
You can't hide on the Camino. The walk strips away the performance, the persona, the polish.
What's left is what you're actually working with as a leader. And that's what we work on.
​
Here's the research:​
1. Walking Enhances Strategic Thinking
Research from Stanford University found that walking boosts creative thinking by up to 60% (Oppezzo & Schwartz, 2014).
2. Cognitive Clarity Comes from Slow Thinking
Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman’s research (2011) highlights the power of slow thinking—deep, deliberate reflection leads to better decisions. ​
3. Resilience Is Built Under Pressure, Not in Comfort
Neuroscientific studies (Jung-Beeman & Kounios, 2015) show that breakthrough insights happen when the brain is placed under manageable stress, followed by recovery.​

Who Is This For?
Leading at scale and feeling disconnected from why
You've built something significant. But somewhere along the way, you lost the thread.
Making decisions from analysis, not insight.
You're stuck in your head. Overanalysing. Second-guessing. Missing what your intuition already knows.
Ready for real transformation, not a wellness retreat.
You don't need a spa weekend. You need space to confront what's actually holding you back.
Willing to walk with discomfort.
​
This isn't luxury travel. It's 20-25km per day with a backpack and whatever thoughts you've been avoiding.
Between major phases and need recalibration.
Post-exit. Pre-C-suite. Mid-crisis. Questioning everything.
The Camino works best in transition.

Why I Guide This
I've walked nine Caminos to Santiago de Compostela.
The first time, I walked to escape.
The noise in my head was louder than any strategy session.
By the ninth, I understood: the Camino doesn't give you answers. It creates conditions where you can't avoid the questions.
That's what I bring to this work.
Twenty years in high-pressure corporate environments taught me what breaks leaders. Seven Caminos taught me what rebuilds them.
Now I guide executives through the same recalibration process that worked for me.
