Beacon Session

A swift & transformative breakthrough session in the fresh air for founders and leaders who are ready to get unstuck and illuminate their path forward

It’s overwhelming to maintain an appearance of confident leadership and success when you are struggling to see the path clearly through the fog - especially with a nagging feeling buried deep inside you that something’s not right.

All your life you’ve been taught to work harder, think your way through it and just figure it out somehow.

But what if what you actually need is to slow down, in order to speed up?

Time and space AWAY from the noise break through the fog, and find a path you’d never have had sitting at your desk.

Alongside an expert who knows exactly how to unlock the answers hidden inside you.

We will help you light the beacon that illuminates your path

What is a Beacon Session?

A Beacon Session is a 1:1 deep-dive for you and your business, away from your desk and out in nature. We intentionally get you away from all the noise of what’s going on and the constant weeds you’re entangled in, allowing you time and space to get unstuck and plan your next steps.

During a 2-hour walking session with either WildEdge Worx Founders Ant or Claire, you’ll be guided through our Beacon framework, which has been expertly crafted to shine a light on exactly where you’re stuck, explore what the next right step is, then create your Beacon Action Plan to help you move forwards.

This is a science-based approach that is transforming business founders and senior leaders across Yorkshire. All routes have been thoughtfully designed to be beautifully local, and fit into your busy working day. The session is intentionally short, sharp and incredibly impactful - perfect for this time of year.

We guarantee that a Beacon Session will move you forwards. You’ll not only get a Beacon Action Plan with clear next steps that you can implement immediately but also included in your investment is a follow up Momentum & Accountability Session, where we will present our thoughts on your situation in your WildEdge Roadmap - your plan to get to your next level.

“Thank you for creating this space for clarity and recalibration, exactly what was needed to start the year with intention.” “I walked into the weekend feeling so energised and excited about the year ahead.”

Mia Briggs, 
Managing Director, The Public Affairs Company

“I’m great at preaching about business plans, strategy & vision. Yet as a Founder-Director, sometimes the fog still rolls in.

I came away feeling super-enthused, inspired and grounded in a clear direction for what comes next.

Getting outside, feeling the wind in your hair, breathing in fresh air and reconnecting with nature is something I’d wholeheartedly recommend… and will absolutely be doing again.”

Louise Wilkinson,

Founder & Director, Culture Minds

We can help you if:

You feel lost in the fog; paralysed by lack of clarity and feel like you’re going around in circles

You’re avoiding taking risks and big decisions due to lack self-doubt and indecision

You’re rushed off your feet, with barely a moment to think, yet get little fulfilment, and even successes ring hollow

You find yourself increasingly frustrated by your situation and the world around you, but all the usual tactics & tools aren’t helping

You feel lonely at the top. You wish you had someone who ‘gets it’ to talk to, and help you find a path forwards

You’ve got big dreams and a big vision, & know you’re here for big impact… It just all feels a bit far away right now….

You know something needs to change…

… & you need something completely different to the norm to help you figure out what the heck that is

How the Beacon Journey Works:

1. The FIRST STEP

You book a Connection Call with us to explore what is going on in your world and how a Beacon Session will help you.

If you are ready to proceed, we arrange a date, time and location for the session.

2. The ILLUMINATION

We meet outdoors for the Beacon Session, somewhere inspiring, yet local.

We’ll guide you through the Beacon framework to

  • shine a light on what’s keeping you stuck

  • explore what the right way forwards looks like for you (based on your unique vision and values)

3. The BEACON IS LIT

Together, we create your Beacon Action Plan - bold and clear steps that you can take away and implement immediately to get you moving.

4. The PATH AHEAD

We meet online a few days later to check in with progress, and share your personalised WildEdge Roadmap with you, showing how to get to your next level

We’re living in a world that’s moving incredibly quickly and experiencing one of the biggest periods of change in human history.

Remote working has changed the face of work, democratising how employees spend their time, but has also introduced a paralysing array of choices and decisions, whilst leaving us feeling increasingly isolated.

At the same time, AI is transforming business and the world at an astonishing pace, supercharging productivity, but introducing huge uncertainty, and even more decisions which need to be made at breath-taking speed in order to keep up.

Being a leader in this world is noisy, overwhelming and lonely, and it’s getting harder.

Everywhere we look, we’re faced with constant distractions. The world is constantly trying to grab our attention and steal our focus. We’re being bombarded with information, and we are not given time to make sense of it.

And when we seek help, we’re given yet more information. Courses, hacks, bite-sized learnings, new systems, new methods, designed to make you more productive, more effective, add more value.

But instead of reducing your burden, making it easier, it all just adds to the noise, creating conflicting messages and more confusion. We are overloaded.

We forget that we aren’t machines.

Our minds don’t work by just processing task after task, or by simply adding more and more ‘stuff’ into them to make them better.

Being human means we NEED time and space to think, reflect and understand how it all fits together.

At WildEdge Worx, we aren’t here to add to the noise.

We’re here to take the noise away.

A Beacon Session in nature gives you a quiet and calm space where you can think clearly, and time protected for YOU to make sense of what’s going on.

You get a fresh perspective when you can look back on your noisy world from a distance. We use the natural environment to hold this space for you, allowing you to think, innovate and reflect, whilst making sure the important questions are faced, that you get honest feedback and that your limiting beliefs are challenged.

We’ll explore what’s holding you back, understand what’s important, and make the key decisions to drive your business forwards.

We’ll help you to cut a path through the noise and send you back into the world feeling realigned, lighter, refocused and crystal clear on what you need to do to make your impact.

Meet your Guides

Ant

I'm Ant, co-founder of WildEdge Worx. I take executives, business owners and leadership teams on epic adventures into the hills and mountains, to get them out of their heads, and find clarity.

I have 20 years’ experience working with people in business, from the shop floor to the Boardroom, across Transformation Programmes, Business Consultancy, Operational Management, Strategy Development and Business Coaching.

I’ve always been a strong believer in how environment can shape our thinking, our patterns and our habits, particularly how a big change in thinking needs a radical displacement from your every-day routines.

So in 2021, I combined my expertise and walking in the outdoors, forming Mountain Boardroom, giving leaders and founders time and space free from distractions, to spark extraordinary thinking in extraordinary mountain landscapes.

I’m a Mountain Leader and qualified Outdoor First Aider, with inside knowledge of some of the most epic walking routes in the UK.

Claire

Hey, I’m Claire. I help entrepreneurs & leaders build businesses full of Authenticity, Alignment and Adventure.

I’ve been coaching professionally since 2007, and have helped over a thousand folk to date, from independent solopreneurs to FTSE250 International Groups - the key differentiator is they’re all values or purpose-led.

My unique blend of experience as a Coach plus my passion for the wild outdoors - hiking, and wild swimming - ensures an expedition that's both a safe transformational space, and an exhilarating adventure with like-minded leaders.

As a trained hill adventure guide, qualified Outdoor First Aider, and certified Open Water Life Guard and Wild Swim Leader your journey couldn't be in safer hands.

 I live in Leeds with my husband Ant and our 3 children, and can usually be found up a mountain in our VW campervan, or drinking coffee with a good book.
