Backed by Research

Nature Restores Us

Spending just 20 minutes in nature has been shown to lower stress by reducing cortisol, heart rate and blood pressure. Research also shows that people who spend at least two hours a week in nature report significantly better health and wellbeing. That's why Beyond takes place on a private orchard, giving you three uninterrupted days immersed in nature to slow down, think deeply and reconnect with what matters most.

Hunter, M. R., Gillespie, B. W., & Chen, S. Y. P. (2019)

Purpose Gives Direction

People with a strong sense of purpose are more likely to live longer and a study involving almost 489,000 people also found that purpose is consistently associated with better physical health, psychological wellbeing and resilience. Research has consistently found that purpose provides direction, helps people persevere through challenges and contributes to greater wellbeing across life. At It talks about nature restoring us. Purpose gives us direction and Beyond, you'll reconnect with what matters most and create a vision for the next chapter of your life.

Intentional transitions shape who we become

Across cultures, rites of passage have been used to help people intentionally move from one stage of life to another. Modern research on significant life transitions shows that these periods can profoundly affect mental health and wellbeing, and that intentionally supporting people through transitions can improve outcomes. Beyond draws inspiration from these timeless principles by creating space to consciously navigate your own next chapter.

Stop going through the motions

We often accept that this is simply the way life is and find ourselves reacting to our circumstances. You got the degree, built the career, found success, maybe even started a family and kept striving for the next milestone. Somewhere along the way, you started asking ‘is this it?’ but didn’t have the time to really stop and think about it.

This is your opportunity to pause, think deeply ad intentionally design your life the way you want to.

The Beyond Experience

What could you create for your life in just 3 days

Day 1: Let Go and Discover

Arrive, disconnect from the outside world, slow down and settle into a safe space designed just for you. Release the expectations, stories and identities you’ve accumulated in your career and life. 

Uncover the auto pilot you are running on, what drives you, your choices and actions in life - the helpful ones and those that are getting in your way. 

Day 2: Reconnect

Learn what matters most to you when the usual demands and expectations of life are taken away. Discover what you really want in your life and the person beyond the title. 

Day 3: Reimagine and Go Beyond

Powerfully and consciously design and plan your future and the next decade. You will know the steps and actions to take with clarity and passion to build what is next for you. You will leave Beyond with clarity, intention and a vision for your next chapter.

 

 

Experience Beyond.

Three days that could change the direction of your next decade.

Gain clarity on who you are beyond the title, the achievements and the expectations that have shaped your life. Over three immersive days, you’ll reconnect with what matters most, let go of what no longer fits and create a clear, intentional path for the next chapter of your life and leadership.

 
 

Perhaps the greatest thing you're missing is yourself

For most of my life, I knew how to achieve.

I spent 20 years building a career in engineering. I helped deliver major infrastructure projects, managed $45m of road projects at 23, founded five businesses, won 12 industry awards including the AFR’s 100 Women of Influence and BOSS magazine’s Young Executive of the Year, Superstar of STEM and Engineers Australia’s most innovative engineer of the year. I became an international speaker, speaking to more than 33,000 people around the world.

I co-founded a national charity Power of Engineering, which has inspired 15,000 girls and regional students to consider engineering. I co-founded WeAspire, which has trained more than 11,000 emerging leaders from over 150 organisations across engineering, infrastructure and construction.

I became an award winning CEO, entrepreneur, author and Fellow of Engineers Australia while having an incredible marriage and raising two children. I wrote the bestselling book The Future of Engineering: Legacy by Design and became a recognised voice on the future of engineering and leadership.

I am incredibly proud of that life.

But somewhere along the way, a different question began to emerge.

Who am I without all of it?

Without the title, the achievements, the next goal. Without being the leader, business owner, wife, daughter, friend or person who knows what to do next.

Who am I without the business, the demands of life, the emails and the schedule.

In a world that asks so much of us… Who am I?

That question has taken me on one of the most profound journeys of my life. At first it was incredibly hard to hear my inner voice of what I really wanted. The noise of expectation and what it is to be a certain label, learnt from my upbringing, society and my industry was so loud.

I've begun to understand that there is a difference between creating a successful life and actually being present enough to experience it. Between knowing how to lead others and knowing how to listen to yourself. Between achieving what you thought you wanted and being deeply connected to what matters to you now.

I've discovered that sometimes the next chapter isn't about striving harder or doing more. It's about connecting to you and becoming quiet enough to hear yourself again.

That is why I created Beyond.

Beyond is for people like me. People who have spent years building, leading, achieving, caring and carrying responsibility. People who have created full lives but have reached a point where they are asking deeper questions about who they are and how they want to live the years ahead.

I don't have all the answers, and Beyond isn't about me giving you mine.

It's about creating the space, experiences and community that allow you to begin hearing your own.

One of the most important things I've discovered is that underneath all the roles we've accumulated and all the things we've achieved, there is still a person there.

And perhaps the next great adventure is meeting them.

Go Beyond

Is it time to go beyond your title, your career, your roles in life and connect with who you really are? 

Sometimes the greatest breakthrough comes from simply creating enough distance to see your life clearly again.
