Five Huge Wins From Cancelling My Weekend Retreat
Even though I had to cancel the weekend retreat I was organising, I still got five huge wins out of the experience!!
Amazing Quality Of Life Doesn’t Equal Abundant Quantity Of Things
You live in a great house. You drive a great car. You go on vacation at least twice a year. You work at a great company in a great job. Everybody looking at you would think you've got it made! Except you don't!!
I’m Not In This World To Live Up To Your Expectations

People often try to reach a goal by sprinting towards it only to find it is too far off. Reaching it is far more likely when they set themselves a marathon pace

Gerdi Verwoert
Daring Guide & CoachI guide people who are visionaries, change-makers, rulebreakers and those who feel stuck in the frustrating DO-ing of everyday life and work, into quiet, expansive mountains to help them refocus on what life for them is all about.
As we walk through mountains they reclaim their Identity, regain Clarity and take back their Power so they can re-connect with and live in line with who they truly are; with their essence.
The mountains are a magical place; uniquely suited to help us slow down, be present and get a different perspective on life.
A former project manager & consultant with 20+ years of experience, I am trained as a life coach and mountain hiking guide. I have a special gift for taking people on trails – in mountains and in life – they would never think of walking by themselves. I have a talent for both challenging and helping them reach heights they didn’t think themselves capable of.
