Thriving (not striving)
in Your next season
A one-day retreat designed to help you pause, get honest about the season you're actually in, release what's no longer serving you, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
We all move through seasons — some quiet and internal, some full of momentum, some asking us to let go before we can move forward. This one-day retreat is designed to help you pause, get honest about the season you're actually in, and release what's no longer serving you.
Through guided reflection, practical frameworks, and real space to think without distraction, you'll reconnect with who you are beneath the roles and responsibilities — and leave with a clear, simple 90-day plan to move forward with intention.
Whether you're in a quiet season of rebuilding, an emerging season of new ideas, a season of momentum and growth, or a season of pruning and simplifying — this is a day to reset, realign, and step into what's next with clarity and confidence.
Join Stuart and Mark for a day designed to help you pause, get honest, and move forward with a clear plan.
Two complementary perspectives — practical results coaching and experienced counselling
— brought together for one focused day.

Meet Stuart — a certified Results Coach, founder of Sit with Stu, and co-founder of Oak & Olive Training, based in Christchurch. He's the guy people go to when they're stuck, wrestling with strategy. For years, Stuart has helped individuals and leaders move from confusion to clarity — spotting what's really holding them back and building practical, aligned plans for what's next. It's not just theory for him. He's led teams and organisations through periods of major change himself, including seven-plus years steering a Christchurch charity — so his approach is grounded, real-world, and built for people who actually want to move. If you've ever wanted someone to sit across from you, ask the hard question, and help you get unstuck — that's what a conversation with Stuart feels like. Come find out for yourself.

Mark is a qualified and experienced counsellor in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. He's the founder of Growth Online Counselling, offering workplace EAP counselling, workplace support and supervision, critical incident response, and facilitation for teams and workplace culture. His work has supported people across New Zealand through trauma, grief, relationships, and leadership challenges. Mark brings a business mindset that relishes possibility — and a rare ability to see "what could be," helping people reconnect with their deepest longings and what's truly possible for their next season.
