"The Leaders in the Wild retreat allowed the Deakin University Faculty Services leadership team to take time out of their usual environment to work on a wicked problem we were experiencing. The experience bought us together as a team and will make us stronger as a result of the retreat. The constant link with nature throughout the day delivered benefits that I didn't expect. Thank you to Janet, John and Tom!"
Alice Faulkner, Executive Director, Deakin University
