THRIVE-ABILITY™ RESET
A Private Provence Experience for Senior Leaders
Be Well. Lead Well. Live Well.
You have built the capacity to handle a great deal.
You make decisions, solve problems, carry responsibility, respond to competing priorities, and create possibilities for others.
And you may be doing all of that quite successfully.
The question is not simply whether you can continue performing.
Do you have the health, energy, and capacity to sustain your leadership—and to enjoy the life you’ve worked so hard to create?
Thrive-Ability™ Reset is an intimate five-day experience for senior leaders who want to step outside the pace and demands of everyday life and create space for something that can be increasingly difficult to find:
Time to reset.
Time to reconnect with your body.
Time to breathe and think clearly.
Time to enjoy food, nature, beauty, art, conversation, and rest.
And time to consider what would help you return home with greater capacity to Be Well, Lead Well, and Live Well.
This isn’t about temporarily escaping your life.
It’s about returning to it differently.
Why a Reset?
When work demands increase, everything else can begin to fall away.
Exercise gets postponed. Meals become whatever is convenient. Sleep gets squeezed. Travel disrupts routines. Recovery becomes something you’ll get to later.
And because you’re capable, you continue functioning. But over time, performance can continue while your capacity for life begins to narrow.
Thrive-Ability™ approaches this differently.
Instead of asking you to add an elaborate wellness routine to an already demanding schedule, we’ll explore simple, sustainable ways to support three dimensions of Thrive-Ability™:
Be Well
Health, Well-Being & Vitality
Lead Well
Sustainable Leadership Performance
Live Well
Enjoyment of Life Beyond Work
The aim isn’t perfection.
It’s building the capacity to thrive under the conditions of the life you actually live.
Why Provence?
Because sometimes experiencing a different rhythm helps us see our own lives differently.
In Provence, many of the elements that support well-being aren’t treated as another obligation on the calendar.
They’re part of living.
Fresh, seasonal food.
Time outdoors.
Connection to the land.
Long conversations around a table.
Beauty.
Art.
Pleasure.
Rest.
And an appreciation for ordinary moments.
For five days, we’ll immerse ourselves in that rhythm—not as an escape from real life, but as an opportunity to discover:
What deserves to come home with you?
Your Five Days
Day One
Arrive & Exhale
Welcome to Provence
Arrive at Château La Coste, connect over dinner, and explore Thrive-Ability™: the capacity to Be Well, Lead Well, and Live Well. A moment to arrive, exhale, and begin.
Day Two
Reset
Creating Space to Recover
Reconnect through Well-Being Resets, restorative experiences, nature, art, and intentional space at Château La Coste. Step away from constant demand, slow down, notice more, and create space to recover.
Day Three
Live Well
Healthy Living, the Mediterranean Way
Explore how food, nature, rest, pleasure, and connection support everyday well-being. Discover what Provence can teach us about living well, then translate what resonates into your own life.
Day Four
Bring It Home
From Five Days Away to Sustainable Change
Turn restoration into intention by identifying small, realistic changes that support greater capacity. Reflect on what you can protect, prioritize, and stop postponing when life gets demanding.
Day Five
Return
What Comes Home With You?
Close with breakfast, reflection, and conversation. Leave with greater clarity about what helps you feel well, function well, and sustain the energy to fully enjoy your life.
“Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is give yourself the space to breathe.”
Château La Coste
The Setting Is Part of the Experience
Set in the Provençal countryside near Aix-en-Provence, Château La Coste brings together vineyards, olive trees, art, architecture, gastronomy, and well-being in one extraordinary setting.
Rather than spending five days traveling from one attraction to another, we’ll remain immersed in one place.
Walk among the vines and olive trees.
Encounter remarkable art and architecture throughout the landscape.
Enjoy beautifully prepared Mediterranean food.
Rest.
Talk.
Explore.
Or simply sit somewhere beautiful with nowhere else you need to be.
You arrive. You settle in. And Provence does some of the work.
What You’ll Experience
Daily Well-Being Resets
Brief, intentional practices designed to help you reconnect with yourself and discover what restores your capacity.
Private Leader Conversations
A small group creates space for conversations that can be difficult to have when you’re surrounded by employees, boards, clients, family, and people who depend upon you.
Restoration
Yoga Nidra, spa time, rest, nature, and space to slow down.
Mediterranean Living
An experiential exploration of food, connection, pleasure, nature, and other elements of living well.
Food Worth Enjoying
Beautiful meals and opportunities to experience the food, olive oil, and wine of Provence—not through restriction, but through the lens of nourishment, pleasure, and well-being.
Art, Architecture & Nature
Time to experience Château La Coste’s remarkable landscape and collection of art and architecture.
Space
Not every hour will be scheduled.
There will be time to walk, read, rest, enjoy the spa, have a conversation, explore—or do absolutely nothing.
That space is part of the retreat.
Who This Is For?
Thrive-Ability™ Reset is designed for executives, founders, business owners, and other senior leaders who:
- carry significant responsibility and live with demanding schedules;
- care about their health and well-being but don’t want another complicated program;
- recognize that sustaining leadership requires sustaining themselves;
- want greater energy and capacity for life beyond work;
- value thoughtful conversation with accomplished peers;
- are open to reflection and meaningful change; and
- appreciate excellent food, beautiful surroundings, culture, nature, and time to simply enjoy being alive.
You don’t need to be burned out.
You don’t need to be in crisis.
And you don’t need five days devoted to “fixing” yourself.
You may simply recognize that continuing to perform is not the same as thriving.
An Intentionally Small Circle
Thrive-Ability™ Reset will be intentionally limited to approximately 9–10 senior leaders.
The small group allows for privacy, meaningful conversation, flexibility, and an experience that feels personal rather than programmed.
Participation is by application so that we can create a group for whom both the experience—and one another—will be a good fit.

Be Well. Lead Well. Live Well.
You don’t need five days away simply to recover enough to return to the same pace and way of living.
This is an opportunity to experience another way of living long enough to ask some important questions.
What helps me feel most alive?
What restores my capacity?
What have I been postponing?
What would allow me not only to continue leading well—but to enjoy my life while I’m doing it?
Because health matters.
Because sustainable leadership requires capacity.
And because success was never meant to come at the expense of experiencing your life.
Because Life Is Beautiful.
La Vie est Belle.
