Experiences

Two days in the mountains, to get moving on what matters.

Hiking and coaching in nature, for 48 hours, far from everyday life. Then support afterwards, so what you found makes it home. With a small group of people you don’t know yet, or with your own team.

Why the mountains

Being alone with your own thoughts is rare. Far from the office and the phone, it gets easier to hear what you think and feel.

Then the body helps. Walking several times a day, at set times and sometimes at night, tires you in a good way. The usual stories in your head lose their grip, and the questions you’ve been avoiding get easier to look at.

Two days in nature can still end as two nice days. So every hour of it points at one question: what will you do with this when you get home? You leave with something already started.

Your team, 3 to 8 people

Forge Team

For: Leadership teams that keep going round in circles. A decision keeps getting pushed to the next meeting, or everyone agrees in the room and nothing changes after. Sometimes everything looks fine, and the leader can tell the team could do much more.
What happens: 48 hours in the Slovenian mountains, built around the one thing your team needs to decide. You walk, work outdoors, eat together and talk. People say things there they wouldn’t say in a meeting room.
After: A 4-hour integration session with the whole team about a month later, to look at what moved and what didn’t.
You leave with: The decision made, with the first steps written down, named and dated. And a team that can have the next hard conversation without me.
Price: Custom built for your team, based on what it needs.

Which one fits

Forge48 works in two situations. You know where you want to go and keep getting stuck on the way. Or you don’t know yet what you want, and need distance from everyday life to hear it. Two days in the mountains, far from the phone and the calendar, often show you more than months of thinking at your desk.

Coaching fits if you’d rather work steadily over six months, alongside your normal week. The two work well together: the mountains to see it, coaching to carry it home.

Forge Team is for a team, not one person. The way in is a conversation with whoever leads it.

Not sure? Talk it through with me. Thirty minutes is usually enough to see which one fits.

What people say

This physical challenge really helped me to get out of my head. And truly get connected. Get connected with my emotions and with my intuition. ... I show up differently at home, with my kids and all my conversations.

Forge48 moves you. It’s not just a journey into the unknown. It’s the most intense 48 hours of confronting yourself. ... In the end, there’s nowhere left to hide from yourself… and that is truly liberating.

More than six months later, I still regularly implement what I learned and discovered there. My “way of being” has changed. The way I operate as a father, as a husband, at work, and simply as a person.
