Higher Ground, Vietnam | Leadership Retreat

An 8-day leadership retreat in Hoi An, Vietnam for founders and senior women leaders. Co-led by Tracey Wright (applied positive psychologist) and Susan Delroi (sitting CEO). A retreat to get yourself back — so you can lead from there.

Trip Highlights

Time and space to focus on yourself Eight days of restfulness, quietness, stillness and active movement — a reminder of who you are beneath everything you carry.

A precise vocabulary for your strengths Your VIA strengths, story-led: which are genuinely yours and which you built out of necessity.

Your inner “why”, said out loud What you actually want for your role, your body and your life — verbalised without justification, probably for the first time in years.

The boundaries to hold it What you’ll say no to in order to say yes to yourself — practised in the room, ready to walk home with you.

Your elevator pitch — the real one The thirty seconds that answer who you actually are now. Written on Day 7, spoken on Day 8, used for years.

A letter from yourself, four weeks later You write yourself a letter on the final morning. We post it to you four weeks after you return, exactly when the glow fades.

Who is this retreat for?

Founders running a business with 5–50 staff, or senior leaders inside an organisation — roughly 42–58 — successful by external measures and quietly aware that something needs to shift. A small cohort of women at the same altitude.

How is this different from a wellness retreat or coaching program?

Wellness retreats give rest; coaching gives tactics; conferences give inspiration. This does recognition work first — naming the strengths that are genuinely yours versus the ones you built to cope — then rebuild and return. The sequencing is the method.

What's included?

Seven nights at the Almanity Resort and Spa (twin-share or solo), all meals per the program, all in-country transfers and excursions, daily yoga, the eight-day facilitated program, your VIA assessment, a private 1:1 with Susan, pre-retreat onboarding calls, your posted letter, and post-retreat integration and check-in calls.
