What past participants are saying about The Coaches Retreat…
It was a blast! As well as being a really fun experience, the retreat provided an intimate environment where I was able to reflect deeply on myself and my business, and make new and important connections between my personal and business goals. What was particularly great was how we turned the deep insights into practical steps that I’m implementing to make real some changes in my leadership.
-Richard Medcalf, CEO Coach
Soaking in the magic of the French countryside and cultural appreciation of BEING in the moment set the tone for a transformational experience. I am forever grateful for this adventure. I was able to grow not only as a coach but as an individual human learning how to live my most authentic and impactful self. Hayden is incredible at coaching you to discover your hidden truths and insights that will help expand your life and career. Julien and Megan have curated a legendary immersive experience to enjoy the delights of French cuisine and wine! If you’re a coach, The Coaches Retreat at Rouge Bordeaux is a must-go-to experience.
-Coyote Caleb Fjarli
The ability to reflect and simultaneously absorb this coaching retreat in a new place with such an intentional community that curated the healing atmosphere of food, mindfulness, compassionate conversations, and tactical practice was priceless. The insights from this retreat will stay with me deeply as I continue to build my coaching practice and learn and grow from this experience. In addition, Hayden’s facilitation felt more like a guidance to what would naturally open up both hearts and minds coupled with the opportunity to experience this in the French countryside with excursions weaved in to deliver insights as he took us through the journey of ourselves so that we can be aware of the spaces we hold for others and the breakthroughs that we are most capable of ourselves.

The retreat gave me the courage and self-belief to speak my truth and trust my intuition and lived experience to show up my best self living purposefully and being WHO I AM.
-Yolanda Fernandes, Life Transition Coach
Hayden has tremendous skill in asking pertinent and penetrating questions to get at your truth, with the goal of bearing witness to the next steps needed to accelerate your personal and professional growth. The immersion aspect of sinking deeply into the French culture, food, and offsite experiences combined with coaching, camaraderie, and truth finding made for a truly remarkable experience.
– Natasha Matt-Hensrud, DNP, PCC Executive Coach
It was beyond my expectations! The Coaches Retreat was a magnificent experience that has facilitated my next steps for my coaching approach and business. The infusion of reflection and introspection surrounded by the France ambiance made it even more spectacular. The inclusion of French culture, food, and experience made it a retreat of life, love, and growth. Peer-to-peer learning from various viewpoints and experiences created an unparalleled learning synergy.
– Michellea “Redbird” Millis Rucker ACC, Transformational Leadership Coach
I learned a lot while observing Hayden as he skillfully and masterfully led each coaching session throughout the retreat. It was wonderful to experience coaches as they coached each other and see the positive impact it made on the choices individuals made and goals they set to improve their personal growth. I mostly enjoyed getting to know everyone and hearing everyone share their stories while experiencing coaching in realtime. Also enjoyed all the home made food provided by Chef Julien and his wife, Megan. Staying in their beautiful home was an experience all in itself.

Why France?
France has always held a special place in my heart. When my 11th grade French teacher, Monsieur Hodgins took our French class to Paris for two weeks, I had no idea it would change my life. Part of that experience included staying with a local French high school student and his family. This amazing trip inspired me to apply to a yearlong study abroad experience in Paris during my third year of college. As somebody who has always been passionate about leadership skills and self development, there are few experiences that push you out of your comfort zone more than living in a foreign country, speaking a different language, and having two weeks to find your own apartment! Not only did I love Paris, I learned to love the bigger French culture of enjoying life, slowing down, and truly appreciating its people, food, history, customs, language and culture. I can’t wait to share my passion for French culture and my life’s work of coaching people to dream, act, feel, and think bigger and better than they ever thought possible. – Hayden
