Hi!
I'm Irina Brun, a certified coach and former tech professional.
I've designed this retreat out of a passion for professional growth and well-being.
This short retreat is an uncomplicated and fun journey that you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of your professional self.
A Mix of Learning and Personal Growth Exercises
This weekend is mix of two main activities:
✔ Learn: I'll share insights, tactics, and fresh viewpoints, followed by activities designed to encourage deeper reflections and introspection.
✔ Reflect: You'll spend some quality time with your thoughts. It's all about taking that space for yourself, to really tune into what your heart and mind are saying about your work life.
Our Journey Together
This is a 4-step guided process for self-discovery, designed to help you understand your professional preferences.
We'll dive deep into what truly excites you, uncover the skills you love using, and figure out what you're looking for in your professional life.
We’ll start with an honest look at your current work life. It's about appreciating your current position, understanding what makes you tick at work, and pinpointing areas for growth and improvement.
By dedicating time and space, you'll be able to more effectively listen to your own thoughts and feelings about work.
Next, we'll look at your past experiences and motivations to understand what lights you up professionally and personally.
We'll tune into your passions, the values that drive you, your personal meanings, preferences, and even dreams you may have set aside. Get all of these listed and prioritized, and you'll have a solid base for any future career decision.
By understanding what triggers your joy, you can integrate it to your work and career for better days at the office.
Then it's time to figure out what's really right for you and your future.
Imagine having a personal compass that always points you in the right direction - that's what we're about to create together.
We'll explore various perspectives to sharpen clarity and play with possibilities. We'll look from different angles to generate your personal insights.
Once you're clear on what you really want, navigating your career path becomes more intuitive.
We circle back to the present, but with new perspectives. We’ve pieced together a clear picture of what brings you joy in your career and how to make the most of it.
Armed with this clarity, you can now:
Or, you might just feel more at peace, knowing you're in tune with your professional self and where you're headed.

About the Trainer!
I've spent 20 years in the tech world in Norway: coding, leading teams, managing people, innovating, playing with emerging tech. I've worked in startups and big names, so I've seen quite a bit of the tech industry.
3 years ago I shifted my focus from technology itself to people in tech. Now, I am a freelance Executive and Career Coach, helping tech professionals like you find joy and success in what you do.
This is my first retreat, and I’m super excited! I'm looking forward to seeing you there.
I'm aiming for a cozy small group with up to 10 participants.
Absolutely! While the retreat is specifically designed with tech professionals in mind, the insights, activities, and reflections we'll explore are universal. Anyone keen on taking a deep dive into their professional journey will find value and welcome in our sessions. So, yes, we'd love to have you join us!
Yes. After the retreat, each participant is entitled to an hour one-on-one online session with me. You can use this session for follow-up questions, a coaching session or mentoring.
You can cancel your spot for a full refund up until May 6th. Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds after that date due to commitments with the hotel.
If there's anything else you're wondering about or if you'd just like to chat before deciding, don't hesitate to reach out. You can contact me directly through LinkedIn or send an email to [email protected]. I'm here to help and look forward to hearing from you!
Don't miss out on this opportunity to step back from the daily grind, recharge your batteries, and gain fresh perspectives!
