KELLA Retreat 2026

The Strategic Pause You’ve Earned

THE KELLA LEADERSHIP RETREAT | 9-12 MARCH 2026 | ALGARVE, PORTUGAL

You build companies. You lead teams. You drive impact. You never stop.
What if the most strategic move you could make… was to pause?

Join us for a 3-day immersive and carefully crafted experience, where business growth, personal transformation, and meaningful connection meet. Set against the breathtaking Algarve coastline, this retreat is designed to help you reframe, reset, and restart with absolute clarity. We’ll send you home with sharpened strategy, renewed energy, and a network that accelerates your next chapter.

WHY THIS RETREAT
A Business Retreat That Feels Like a Wellness Reset

Most “retreats” are either strategy-heavy or spa-heavy. KELLA does both - beautifully.
You’ll move from high-level masterclasses and confidential roundtables to yoga at sunrise, ocean air at lunch, and a sunset dining experience to seal new relationships.

What Makes It Different

• Curated cohort: Ambitious, values-driven women across industries

• Facilitated connection: 1:1 curated conversations and small group exchanges that spark collaboration.

• Real outcomes: You’ll leave with fresh messaging, a clearer strategy, and a tight circle of allies.

• Immersive Algarve: Hidden beaches, local cuisine, yacht-at-sunset moments - success that actually feels good.

Who It’s For

Women leaders, founders, and changemakers ready to scale their impact with clarity, confidence, and community.

What You’ll Walk Away With

• A refined executive story you can deliver anywhere.

• Multiplier leadership practices that 2x your team’s capability.

• Strategic clarity for Q2-Q4 2026 priorities.

• A powerful, active network you can call on.

FEATURED FACILITATORS

Gina London - CEO, Language of Leadership
Emmy-winning former CNN anchor & international communications expert

Gina helps executives connect, influence, and inspire through clear, compelling storytelling. She’s coached leaders across Fortune 500s, governments, and NGOs in more than a dozen countries. Expect warmth, wit, and broadcast‑level presence distilled into practical, boardroom-ready tools.

Lucy Ferguson - The Wiseman Group
Certified facilitator of Liz Wiseman’s Multipliers

Are you a genius… or a genius maker? Multipliers start with a powerful assumption: people are smart and will figure it out. They unlock 95%+ of their team’s intelligence; Diminishers get less than half. Lucy’s session translates the research into immediate leadership experiments that grow capability, helping you get more done by letting others shine.

Signature Masterclass: The Multiplier Effect: Make Everyone Smarter

You’ll Learn to:

• Adopt the Multiplier Mindset: assume intelligence, ignite curiosity.

• Diagnose accidental diminishing traps.

• Ask catalytic questions and run lightweight “Multiplier experiments.”

• Build a culture of rigorous debate, ownership, and stretch.
