ABOUT CLAIRE ACKERS

When you lead a growing business, everything can appear stable from the outside. Revenue is moving, the team is functioning and you are still the person everyone turns to when decisions need to be made.However, something more subtle often begins to happen beneath the surface. Decisions start to feel heavier than they should, and your mind becomes crowded with unfinished thinking while you continue performing at a high level.You are not stuck. You are saturated.Many of the founders and senior leaders who arrive at WildEdge Worx recognise this moment immediately. Their businesses are functioning, but their leadership experience has become noisier and more demanding than it needs to be.My work creates the conditions for leaders to step far enough away from the operational noise of business to hear their own thinking again. Clarity rarely returns through more advice or analysis. It returns when the environment allows leaders to think properly.For some leaders that begins with a Beacon session, which is a focused nature-led strategy intensive designed to restore clarity and decisiveness at moments of pressure, scale or transition.For others the shift requires something deeper.The Rewilding retreat was created for women who are carrying significant responsibility and rarely give themselves permission to step away from it. The experience combines mountains, cold water, movement and deeply honest conversation with other women who understand the weight of leadership.When women step away from the constant demands of their businesses and into wild places, something changes in how they think and how they see themselves.Women often arrive at the retreat feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves or unsure about the next chapter of their leadership. They leave with clarity about what matters, renewed confidence in their judgement and the courage to make decisions that once felt out of reach.One founder returned home from a retreat and doubled the size of her business within the following year after creating the space to think clearly about the life she wanted to build.WildEdge Worx delivers leadership development through Beacon sessions, Trailblazer Days, private one-to-one programmes and The Rewilding retreats. The common thread is the creation of environments that allow leaders to think properly, so growth feels aligned rather than forced.If your business is moving forward but leadership feels heavier than it should, the first step is a conversation to explore whether Beacon or The Rewilding is the right next move.
