About The Retreat

This transformational 4-day Ladies Who Lead Retreat is strategically designed to cultivate and evoke the natural power and strength that Women Leaders carry within them. Through this immersive experience, you will be guided to tap into your values and leverage your innate wisdom to help you get clarity on your goals and your ambitions. Through powerful questions and using our “Delve and Dissect Framework,” you’ll get clear on what matters most right now and the steps to take to make it real.

As you are guided on a transitional journey from where you currently are now to where you want to be, your heart, mind and soul will become aligned with your inner wisdom, power and drive. You will become a more confident, courageous and authentic leader and agent of growth and change.

This Leadership Retreat brings women in leadership positions together and coaches them so they can have unique conversations with other like-minded women and discover what’s possible and next for them…

Do You Love To Grow?

Do you want to confidently and easily make hard decisions and be an inspiring leader that grows and develops her team?
Do you want to bring out the best in other people and help them reach their potential and achieve your team goals?
Are you ready to understand other people and harness their abilities to grow beyond what they know and improve every area of their lives?

The Ladies Who Lead Curriculum goes deep and addresses the blocks that get in the way of business and team success. Collectively Sandra and Fiona have over 70 years of business and leadership experience and they talk about topics no one else does. The retreat takes a holistic look at business and leadership, so it is a little bit about business, psychology, spirituality and personal empowerment, all in one.

You’ll get insights you won’t get anywhere else and leave with strategies and tools to grow your Business, Team and Yourself. We will help you to discover how to ensure the teams you lead thrive and what it really takes to be successful. The experiential learning techniques employed ensure that you get hands-on experience so you walk away with a completely new perspective on business, and lead in a way that is balanced, fulfilling and empowering.

Is The Retreat For You?

Maybe you know there is more to learn…
Maybe you’re looking for inspiration or a sense of community or
Maybe you feel like you are on the right path but just want to get there quicker…

Whatever it is for you, we promise you will find it at the Retreat as we will work with you to get clarity and peace of mind. As you allow yourself the grace and space to open your mind, you will discover what is possible for you and overcome the limitations that have held you back from reaching your full potential.

You Should Join Us If:

At Work:

You lead others and carry responsibility and would like to become a better leader

You often feel you don’t have all the answers or the tools to get things done
You’re a role model for other women – whether or not you choose to be
You know there are other smart, switched- on like-minded women out there, but you haven’t found a tribe and would love a safe space to connect

At Home:

You’re the “go-to” person for the people in your life: mentally, emotionally and even possibly financially
And…likely the family contact point for all things family related; attending to the needs of the people you love and want to care for, but their needs can be demanding and you get tired…
You love your life deeply…. but you fall into bed exhausted at the end of every day

Inside Your Soul:

You’re looking to integrate your purpose, vision and values into your life more fully

You know that you’re called to more – but you don’t know where to start

You’re tired of being pulled in so many directions and feel like everything rests on your shoulders and you’d like new tools
You know you have more to offer and haven’t reached your potential so are keen to keep growing and developing yourself so you can impact and help more people

What You'll Discover...

This retreat offers you the opportunity to step away from your day-to-day roles and responsibilities and never-ending to-do list. You’ll immerse yourself in a nourishing environment that feeds your mind, body and soul. The Ladies Who Lead Retreat is an Empowerment Adventure and will help you soak up our uniquely structured and gracefully facilitated program so you gain insightful wisdom and growth as you develop your personality and further your professional journey.

If you’re ready to redefine who you are and what you know, we’d love to have you join us as we rejuvenate your passion, build your inner confidence and surround you with other leaders who talk the same language. It’s so much more than a yoga or meditation retreat. It gives you a unique opportunity to pull back the curtain on your life and leadership style, and discover how to lead yourself and others in an impactful and rewarding way.

You will be guided through a series of interactive workshops and activities so you have a deeper understanding of people and can connect with others at a heart level. You’ll return home enlightened, encouraged and with a collection of new skills, plus a new tribe of supportive sisters, so your experience and friendships will remain with you, long after the retreat ends.

Life Transition & Emotional Intelligence Coach

Business Strategist & Implementation Coach

What Our Clients Say

It is an honour to work with Sandra. She is an exceptional leader and someone whom I can go to for support and guidance as a mentor and confidant. She brings an analytical but personable aspect to business and leadership and as a speaker brings audiences to their feet.

Terri Vincent, Business Coach, Perth WA

I worked with Fiona May over a period of several months in 2020. Fiona's coaching and leadership training was invaluable and enabled me to set and achieve high goals that have enabled me to achieve personal and professional success across all areas of my life. Her understanding of self-limiting behaviour and the importance of accountability really resonated with me. I am forever grateful.

Linda Carol, Executive, Qld

Sandra is an amazing lady who achieves incredible results and is a great Leader. She teaches, guides and empowers clients with tools, mindset and knowledge to achieve maximum results in business and most importantly with their life's journey. Her leadership is testimony to Sandra's purpose, high-level smarts, talents and depth of character.

Joanne Keeling, Principal Business Development Officer

I want to say again how very grateful I am for the leadership and life coaching I received from Fiona May Steddy. Fiona’s honest and deep compassion and love for others and her ability to connect and convey her vast wisdom are just so heartwarming. Her program is amazing and her coaching changed my life. I want everyone to know that the way she connects is an absolute gift, which I am so blessed to have received. I often refer back to my coaching notes if I am feeling overwhelmed and I get centred and have the tools and skills to work through anything now. I am a better Mother, Sister, and overall Leader which is beautiful. My sincere love and thanks to her.

Peggy Martin, Paediatric Speech Pathologist, Melbourne

I crossed paths with Fiona May back in 2017 when my life really was at a loose end. I had been separated for nearly a year and I just felt lost in life. I studied under Fiona for nearly 3 years. What I learnt changed my life. It wasn't about changing other people and all about changing myself. Fast forward 6 yrs to today. I have been in an amazing relationship for the past 2 years, I doubled my income by changing careers. I drive a dump truck and water cart in the mines. It's really pushed me out of my comfort zone and I have no intention of ever going back to where I was. I'm challenged daily and push myself. From being in debt, with no house and $1500 in my bank, to now I have a completely different life. Happy relationship, no debt and about to buy my own house. If you had suggested this to me in 2017, I would have thought it impossible. Everything is achievable when you put the work in and follow through with substantial effort. In short, Fiona's teaching changed my life.

Monique Peoples, FIFO Truck Driver, Mandurah, WA

After working with Fiona over the past few years I have been able to clearly articulate a future vision for myself with my personal, healing journey and see a direction forward. With Fiona’s supportive authentic coaching style, I was able to gain the confidence to make decisions that supported my transitions in life. She is a personable and professional coach who ensures that you remain on track with her positive energy and excellent time management skills. I was at a crossroads in my life and Fiona’s exceptional coaching and communication style led me to identify the goals I wished to achieve and incorporate strategies to feel empowered as a woman. Her commitment to her quest has her working with women all over the world, guiding them to transform themselves into a renewed sense of self-belief, self-acceptance, and empowered expression. Fiona has a great understanding of the whole person and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a coach to improve their life!

Cynthia Anne, Self-Employed, Victoria

I am delighted to provide a testimonial on behalf of Fiona May. To cut a long story short I made contact with Fiona without any real expectations and was really surprised with how she was able to gently challenge me on what my desired outcomes for my life really were, and what actions I was taking to ensure these goals were achieved. I have a successful career in a senior professional role and have worked with numerous providers and have undertaken extensive personal development over many years. I can honestly say that I have never achieved the outcomes I attained in only about 3 months with the Shine Program and that is down to working with Fiona. Her own lived experience combined with the content she developed, together with her unwavering support really helped me to focus on what my future life goals were and the pathways to achieving these. Fiona is kind, funny, generous and a fierce advocate for women to take charge of their own futures. I can highly recommend taking the plunge to work with her.

Michelle Bolitho, Senior Executive, Perth

I met Fiona through a referral from a friend. I was at a big life decision place in my life. I was confused and overwhelmed. My head and emotions were in a complete scramble. I could not sleep as uncertainty and fear swept over me. Fiona is a true gem! I’ve known Fiona for 2 years now and quickly learnt she is one of the most authentic coaches I have ever had the privilege to work with. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be where I am today- smashing goals and living life to the fullest! Fiona creates safe and respectful environments for people to learn and grow and will keep you accountable all the way because she truly wants you to live your best life. She was in the right place at the right time for me. The biggest benefit is how much others can see how good I am now and get comments all the time. Fiona is a proud mama to all of us ladies who she coaches and our lives have completely changed because of her. Anyone considering working with Fiona, just do it! You won’t regret it.

Lea Hooper, Teacher and Change Leader, Sth Aust.

Fiona May Steddy is the real deal as a life coach. She is knowledgeable about the various aspects of life and she has been successful in overcoming obstacles and helping others (including me) do the same. She guides and encourages her clients with expertise, wisdom, and just the right balance of caring and firmness, cheering them on. Working with Fiona is a pleasure and it has helped me grow as a person to live my best life. Working with Fiona May has helped me to let go of past hurts in relationships and move forward in my life to a more satisfying career and relationships and financial prosperity.
