The South of France Experience


ZEN•ith in the South of France is a residential leadership experience held at Les Marguerites, Provence.


Set within a secluded Mediterranean environment, this experience creates the conditions for deeper thinking, perspective, and meaningful leadership work – away from the intensity of day-to-day demands.


Participants arrive Tuesday and depart Saturday, with the experience shaped around both the environment and the rhythm of the week.


A Different Pace of Work

This experience is intentionally slower in pace – without losing depth.


The structure creates space not just to think, but to see more clearly.


Each day balances:


  • Faculty-led leadership sessions

  • Strategic reflection

  • Peer dialogue

  • Extended time for independent thinking


The setting plays a role here.


Distance from routine allows different questions to surface – and different answers to emerge.


Leadership Work, Not Escape

While the setting is more expansive, the work remains focused and applied.


Participants engage in:


  • Real leadership challenges and decisions

  • Reflection on direction, priorities, and long-term impact

  • Conversations with peers operating at a similar level

  • Work grounded in the 5x5 Model® of Relational Leadership


This is not passive.


It is deliberate, focused leadership work – carried out with more space around it.


Time & Perspective

One of the defining features of the France experience is the quality of time.


There is space to:


  • Think without interruption

  • Step back from immediate pressures

  • Explore ideas more fully

  • Let thinking develop, rather than rush to answers


This is where clarity often comes – not in sessions, but between them.


What You Leave With

By the end of the experience, participants have:


  • Greater clarity on direction and priorities

  • A more considered approach to leadership decisions

  • Strengthened perspective on complex challenges

  • Practical shifts they can carry back into their role


The emphasis is not on volume – but on depth and precision.
